Does Trichoderma harzianum Really Increase Growth Parameters in Plants?

Study on Growth and Biomass of Ocimum Sanctum Plants and Protein Profiling of Trichoderma Harzianum

The capability of the bio-control agent Trichoderma harzianum to trigger plant growth and improvement in biomass response was investigated by inoculating roots of medicinal plant (Ocimum sanctum) seedlings with Trichoderma harzianum in pots, under aseptic, green house environmental conditions. Trichoderma harzianum was isolated from ten different agro climatic zones of Karnataka. Biological and...

Induction of Systemic Resistance by Trichoderma harzianum Isolates in Pistachio Plants in-Fected with Verticillium dahliae

Twenty isolates of Trichoderma harzianum wereisolated from the rhizosphere of healthy pistachio plants from different localities of Kerman Province, Iran.Five isolates with high antagonistic activity in in vitro assays against Verticillium dahliae (the causal agent of pistachio wilt), were investigated for their effect on the defense enzymes, peroxidase (PO), phenyl alanine-ammonia lyase (PAL) ...

Nitrogen Metabolism and Growth Enhancement in Tomato Plants Challenged with Trichoderma harzianum Expressing the Aspergillus nidulans Acetamidase amdS Gene

Trichoderma is a fungal genus that includes species that are currently being used as biological control agents and/or as biofertilizers. In addition to the direct application of Trichoderma spp. as biocontrol agents in plant protection, recent studies have focused on the beneficial responses exerted on plants, stimulating the growth, activating the defenses, and/or improving nutrient uptake. Th...

Trichoderma harzianum reduces population of Meloidogyne incognita in cucumber plants under greenhouse conditions

Trichoderma harzianum strain ESALQ-1306 was assessed for its potential biological control against Meloidogyne incognita race 4 under in vitro and greenhouse conditions. In vitro, we noticed 64% of conidial attachment on eggs and second-stage juvenile immobilized by the fungus. In greenhouse, cucumber plants were treated with different concentrations of conidial suspensions before and after inoc...
