Trichoderma viride: Effective Biofungicide for Plants
Trichoderma viride is a fungus and a biofungicide used for seed and soil treatment for suppression of various diseases
Trichoderma helps in controlling of may plant disease by:
* Antagonistic Activity : It competes with pathogens for space and nutrients, inhibiting their growth
* Production of Antifungal Compounds:They produce secondary metabolites such as enzymes, antibiotics and volatile organic compounds that have fungicidal effects on pathogenic fungi
* Biodegradation of Pathogen Cell Walls: They directly parasitize and degrade the cell walls of pathogenic fungi
* Induced Systemic Resistance (ISR):Trichoderma viride can induce systemic resistance in plants
Conclusion
Trichoderma viride offers a sustainable and effective alternative to chemical fungicides for controlling plant diseases
