Trichoderma and its role in biological control of plant fungal and nematode disease

Trichoderma is a beneficial fungus that can protect crops from diseases and pests while promoting healthier plant growth, without harmful chemical pesticides. It works through multiple strategies: competing with harmful fungi for nutrients, producing natural toxins that kill pathogens, directly parasitizing disease-causing organisms, and strengthening the plant’s own immune system. This eco-friendly approach reduces chemical pollution while improving crop quality and yields, making it an ideal solution for sustainable farming.

Bacillus velezensis CNPMS-22 as biocontrol agent of pathogenic fungi and plant growth promoter

A bacterial strain called Bacillus velezensis CNPMS-22 shows promise as a natural pest control agent for crops. When applied to maize seeds, it reduced fungal diseases and increased plant productivity as effectively as chemical fungicides. The bacteria produces natural compounds that kill harmful fungi while also promoting plant growth, offering a safer, more environmentally friendly alternative to synthetic chemicals.
