Abstract
Trichoderma harzianum is one of economical importance for the production of industrial enzymes (cellulases and hemicellulases), antibiotics and their action as biocontrol agents against plant pathogens based on various mechanisms. The ecological importance of this genus, particularly of its mycelium, is to take part in the decomposition of plant residues in soil. T. harzianum is a potential fungal biocontrol agent against a range of plant pathogens. So there is a need to evaluate the efficacy of the native isolates of T. harzianum to promote the growth and yield parameters of coffee, wilt disease under in vitro and in vivo conditions. Hence the study focuses on fifteen native Trichoderma antagonists were isolated from healthy coffee rhizosphere soil in different geographical regions. Rhizoctonia solani is the most important pathogen involved in seedling disease. In the antagonistic activity isolates of T. harzianum was evaluated in vitro, against isolates of R. solani in dual culture. There was highly significant interaction was observed between isolates of Trichoderma and R. solani. All isolates of T. harzianum showed varying levels of antagonism against R. solani. Similarly, the interaction between Trichoderma isolates and R. solani was a highly significant source as biocontrol agent and world distribution of various commercially available T. harzianum formulations.
