Trichoderma
Trichoderma spp. — Multifunctional Biocontrol Fungus
Trichoderma is a genus of fungi in the Ascomycota phylum, widely distributed in various soils and plant residues. As one of the most important biocontrol microorganisms, Trichoderma is extensively used in agriculture, horticulture, and forestry.
Mechanisms of Action
Competitive Exclusion
Trichoderma grows rapidly, occupying ecological niches in the rhizosphere and leaf surface, competing with pathogens for nutrients and space.
Mycoparasitism
Trichoderma recognizes and coils around pathogenic hyphae, penetrating and dissolving them through cell wall-degrading enzymes.
Induced Resistance
Activates the plant's own defense system (ISR), enhancing resistance to multiple diseases.
Growth Promotion
Secretes plant hormones like auxins and gibberellins, plus siderophores and phosphatases to promote root development.
