How may biochar influence severity of diseases caused by soilborne pathogens? (2014, background): “harzianum, a plant growth-promoting and biocontrol fungus [116].”
Proteolytic activity and antibiotic production by Trichoderma harzianum in relation to pathogenicity to insects (2007, background): “have been shown to produce glucanases [5], protease [3,6], chitinase [7] and a range of non-volatile and volatile antibiotics active against a range of fungi [8,9].”
Interaction between arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi and Trichoderma harzianum under conventional and low input fertilization field condition in melon crops: Growth response and Fusarium wilt biocontrol (2011, background): “Although saprophytic fungi have been eported to influence AM colonization and host plant response Fracchia et al., 2000), the effects of the saprophytic fungi on M formation differ depending on the inherent characteristic f both agents (Martinez et al., 2004; Saldajeno et al., 2008; artínez-Medina…”
Trichoderma aureoviride 7-121, a mutant with enhanced production of lytic enzymes: its potential use in waste cellulose degradation and/or biocontrol (2001, background): “…of the genus Trichoderma, particularly T. harzianum, have also been reported as biocontrol agents (Lewis and Papavizas, 1991; Haran et al. 1996a; Haran et al. 1996b; Elad, 2000; Hermosa et al. 2000) due to its ability to successfully antagonize other fungi including plant pathogenic species.”
Biological potantial of some Iranian Trichoderma isolates in the control of soil borne plant pathogenic fungi (2008, background): “…as Trichodernin, Trichodermol, Harzianum A and Harzianolide (Dennis and Webster, 1971c; Kucuk and Kivanc, 2004) as well as some cell walls degrading enzymes such as chitinases, glucanases that break down polysaccharides, chitins and β-glucanase, thereby destroying cell wall integrity (Elad, 2000).”
Review report on the role of bioproducts, biopreparations, biostimulants and microbial inoculants in organic production of fruit (2019, background): “It is producing pectinases, glucanase, cutinase and chitinase, and all those enzymes are suppressed by the protease secreted by Trichoderma sp. (Elad 2000).”
Mode of Action of Microbial Biological Control Agents Against Plant Diseases: Relevance Beyond Efficacy (2019, background): “Both examples of in depth investigations of the mode of action of MBCAs illustrate that tritrophic interactions between host, pathogen and MBCA are complex and often different from what is initially expected (Elad, 2000; Bélanger et al., 2012).”
Biofungicides as alternative to synthetic fungicide control of grey mould (Botrytis cinerea) – prospects and challenges (2018, background): “Trichoderma spp. is the only group of fungi that have received much attention as a biocontrol agent for plant pathogens including Botrytis spp., Sclerotinia sclerotiorum, Cladosporium Colletotricum acutatum and Fusarium oxysporum (Elad, 2000a; Freeman et al., 2004; Patel & Saraf, 2017).”
Biological control of the soil-borne fungal pathogen Sclerotinia sclerotiorum –– a review (2018, background): “The white mould of cucumber fruit and stems was reduced by 64 and 30-35%, respectively, after T. harzianum T39 application under commercial greenhouse conditions (Elad 2000).”
Effect of Trichoderma isolates on tomato seedling growth response and nutrient uptake (2011, background): “Fungal species belonging to the genus Trichoderma are common filamentous imperfect saprophytic fungi in soil and rhizosphere ecosystem that have been known not only for their potential to control several commercial phytopathogens that caused soil-borne (Koch, 1999; Spiegel and Chet, 1998; Barker and”
Biological control of onion basal rot disease using Trichoderma harzianum and induction of antifungal compounds in onion set following seed treatment (2008, background): “The use of biological agents to induce the plant defence mechanism against pathogens represents an ecologically friendly alternative to fungicides, which must be repeatedly used for the control of plant diseases (Elad, 2000; El Hassni et al., 2007).”
