ISOLATION AND MASS PRODUCTION OF TRICHODERMA

Abstract

Three Trichoderma isolates (THDU-1, THDU-2, and THDU-3) were isolated from the root zone area of healthy bananas on the farm in Ba Thuoc district, Thanh Hoa province. All of these isolates showed high inhibitory activity against soil borne diseases Rhizoctonia solani and Sclerotium rolfsii. Our study proposed a protocol of Trichoderma mass multiplication using rice media based on solid substrate fermentation (SSF) to produce commercial product of Trichoderma.
