Abstract: Agriculture is the main branch of the Republic of Moldova, on which the well-being of people depends, but which is under constant threat due to variable weather conditions, as well as pests. The main weapon against pests remains chemical pesticides, but an environmentally friendly alternative to solving this problem are microbial preparations, which are used as methods of biological control. One of the best biological agents currently used in agriculture are micromycets of the genus Trichoderma. These micromycetes are effective against a wide range of phytopathogenic agents and are used as a biofungicide, as well as a biofertilizer, but also as stimulants of plant productivity. Our research has also demonstrated that the Trichoderma atrobruneum CNMN FD 25 strain possesses significant antimicrobial properties and could be used as biocontrol of agricultural plants.
