Abstract

Microorganisms or their metabolites are being employed for the plant health and nutrient acquisition. Trichoderma species is one such fungal organism that is recognised for its biocontrol potential against various plant pathogens especially in rhizosphere. Their ability to protect in wide soil environments and mechanisms are widely studied. It is known to have various strategies and potential metabolites that influence plant and the pathogens, such as mycoparasitism and induced resistance. Not only beneficial but Trichoderma is also known to have some harmful effects. This review focuses on the both the beneficial and harmful aspects of Trichoderma for the environment and as well as some of its molecular aspects during its interactions.
