Type: article
Abstract: Biological control agents (BCAs) becoming a key element of sustainable agriculture, which maintain ecological balance and shows antagonism against many major problematic plant diseases of world. It is considered as natural and environmentally acceptable alternative to chemical pesticide (Baker and Paulitz, 1996). Different species of Trichoderma used in agricultural fields act against large number of phytopathogens. It also helpful in plant growth–promotion, uptake of nutrition from the soil by mineral solubilization, the secretion of secondary metabolites, and production of phytohormones. Some species play important roles in biofortification, bioremediation, and phytoremediation, as well as contaminants from the environment.
