Trichoderma species are non-pathogenic fungi often found in soil as well as in association with plants. These green colored fungi are well known for their anti-fungal and/or plant-growth-stimulating effects.

For these reasons, several strains of Trichoderma have been developed into biological control products that are used all over the world to combat fungal plant diseases on various crops. Most of these biological control products are from the species Trichoderma harzianum, T. viride and T. atroviride.

Yes, trichoderma viride can be used a s a biofungicide to control Anthracnose in postharvest Mango. Ideally you can create trichoderma baths and run the mango crop through them. Or spray onto the crop just before harvesting.


How do you observe trichoderma in microscope?

To observe Trichoderma under a microscope, prepare a slide with a small sample of the fungus on a glass slide with a drop of water. Use a coverslip to gently press down on the sample. Use a compound light microscope to view the Trichoderma at different magnifications to observe its structure and morphology.

What is a biological control organism against glycotoxin produsing soil pathogens?

One possible biological control organism against glycotoxin-producing soil pathogens is Trichoderma, a beneficial fungus known for its antagonistic effects on plant pathogens. Trichoderma can outcompete and inhibit the growth of harmful soil pathogens, reducing their impact on plant health and potentially limiting glycotoxin production in the soil. Its ability to colonize root systems and stimulate plant defense responses makes it an effective biocontrol agent against soil-borne pathogens.

Which selective medium is used for Trichoderma viridea to grow?

No medium exists for the selective growth of particular Trichoderma species, i.e. unless a pure spore culture is used of T. viride, one won't be able to select for it specifically using growth media. You can however, use a Trichoderma Selective Medium (TSM) to suppress growth of other fungi/bacteria and obtain Trichoderma colonies that can then be differentiated by morphology. Once a pure culture is obtained, subs can then be made onto various media such as potato dextrose agar (PDA), malt extract agar (MEA) on which Trichoderma will happily grow profusely and sporulate. TSM suppresses fungal growth making Trichoderma colonies grow very slowly, so this not a good media to use if sporulation is the objective.


What are the examples of pesticides degrading microorganisms?

Examples of pesticides degrading microorganisms include bacteria such as Pseudomonas and Bacillus species, as well as fungi like Trichoderma. These microorganisms have the ability to break down pesticides into harmless byproducts through processes such as biodegradation.
