Trichoderma asperellum is a species of fungi in the family Hypocreaceae, works as biological control agent for protecting plants from plant pathogenic fungi, including Fusarium, Rhizoctonia, Sclerotinia, and Pythium. The antifungal powder can inhibit the growth of plant diseases by producing enzymes that break down their cell walls.

• Fusarium wilt (Fusarium oxyporum)
• White rot (Sclerotinia cepivorum)
• Damping off (Pythium aphanidermatum / Rhizoctonia solani)
• Root rot (Macrophomina Phaesolina)
• Grey mould (Botrytis cinerea)

Competition: Spreads quickly in the root zone to exclude harmful microorganisms.
Growth promotion: Enhances plant nutrient uptake and vigor.
Antibiosis: Produces antibiotic metabolites to inhibit pathogens.
Mycoparasitism: Parasitizes pathogen sclerotia and hyphae resulting in lysis.
