Mycoparasitic antagonism of a Trichoderma harzianum strain isolated from banana plants in Oaxaca, Mexico

Bananas are important crops in developing countries with tropical climate. In Mexico, the banana production has increased, and it must be guaranteed. The Panama disease, caused by fungus Fusarium oxysporum f.sp. cubense threatens current production, for what is necessary to implement methods protect this crop. Fungi from genus Trichoderma natural residents of rhizosphere. This comprises mycoparasite species used control diseases phytopathogenic fungi, also benefit plant development. report, we present data identification characterization novel strain harzianum M110 that displays antagonism biocontrol potential laboratory conditions. Exploration rhizosphere endophytic microbial communities might help identify microbes adapted plants can incorporated organic biological formulations ensure Fusarium-free healthy fruits export quality.
