The green shield: Trichoderma’s role in sustainable agriculture against soil-borne fungal threats

mycolabadmin

This study examined how a beneficial fungus called Trichoderma can protect crops from harmful soil fungi without using chemical pesticides. Researchers isolated Trichoderma from soil in Kashmir and tested it against 12 different disease-causing fungi. The results showed that Trichoderma effectively stopped the growth of harmful fungi both through direct contact and through compounds it produces. This natural approach could help farmers grow healthier crops while protecting the environment.

Bacteria living in tree wood work together with fungi to break down wood and nutrients, which is important for forest health. Some bacteria can protect trees from harmful fungi by fighting them off, making them useful for controlling plant diseases. Understanding how bacteria and fungi interact in wood can help us grow healthier plants, manage tree diseases better, and improve wood decomposition processes.

This research demonstrates that Trichoderma fungi, naturally found in soil, can effectively control harmful plant-killing fungi without toxic chemicals. Scientists isolated these beneficial fungi from Kashmir soil samples and tested them against 12 destructive fungal pathogens, finding they successfully inhibited pathogen growth. The study shows promise for farmers to use these natural biocontrol agents as an environmentally friendly alternative to chemical pesticides.

Biocontrol of Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. cepae on Indonesian Local Garlic Plants (Lumbu Hijau) Using a Consortium of Bacillus amyloliquefaciens B1 and Arbuscular Mycorrhizal Fungi

mycolabadmin

Researchers in Indonesia developed a natural way to protect garlic plants from a serious fungal disease using a combination of beneficial bacteria (Bacillus amyloliquefaciens) and fungi (arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi). When applied together, these microorganisms reduced disease by 84% while also making the garlic plants grow taller and produce more biomass. This provides farmers with an environmentally friendly alternative to chemical fungicides.
