Abstract
Due to cosmopolitan nature and easy cultivation most of the
species of Trichoderma have been utilized as agents for
biological control of a number of important seed/soil-borne plant
pathogenic fungi. Among the known specieses, Trichoderma
harzianum Rifai is the most commonly used biocontrol agent.
Trichoderma spp. produce enzymes such as cellulase, chitinases,
chitosanases and glucanases. Which help the bioagent to act as
mycoparasite. Therefore, investigation on antagonism of T.
harzianum against seed/soil-borne plant pathogens; sensitivity of
the bioagent to fungicides, insecticides, nematicides and
weedicides; induction of higher tolerance in efficient isolate of T.
harzianum to higher concentrations of pesticides and protein
profiling of efficient and pesticides tolerant isolates of T.
harzianum were carried out.
