Trichoderma narcissi (Tochinai & Shimada) Tochinai & Shimada, (1931) Trichoderma harzianum is a fungus that is also used as a fungicide . It is used for foliar application, seed treatment and soil treatment for suppression of fungal pathogens causing various fungal plant diseases.
Trichoderma colony in nature. Trichoderma species are frequently isolated from forest or agricultural soils at all latitudes. Hypocrea species are most frequently found on bark or on decorticated wood but many species grow on bracket fungi (e.g. H. pulvinata), Exidia (H. sulphurea) or bird's nest fungi (H. latizonata) or agarics (H. avellanea).
This is a list of binomial names in the fungal genus Trichoderma Pers. (1801) (in the family of Hypocreaceae), with just accepted species and not including synonyms. 'Outline of Fungi and fungus-like taxa' by Wijayawardene et al. lists up to (400+) species (in 2020), [1] and around 466 records are listed by Species Fungorum (with up to 12 former species).
In laboratory experiments, isolations from potato growing soil and the rhizosphere of potato plants during sprouting, Trichoderma hamatum, Trichoderma koningii, Trichoderma polysporum, Trichoderma harzianum and Trichoderma viride were the most inhibitory microorganisms to H. solani growth in vitro.

Trichoderma atroviride is a filamentous fungal species commonly found in the soil. [1] This fungal species is of particular interest to researchers due to the plethora of secondary metabolites it makes which are used in industry [1] The genus Trichoderma is known for its ubiquity in almost all soils and being easy to culture.
The term "biological control" was first used by Harry Scott Smith at the 1919 meeting of the Pacific Slope Branch of the American Association of Economic Entomologists, in Riverside, California. [3] It was brought into more widespread use by the entomologist Paul H. DeBach (1914–1993) who worked on citrus crop pests throughout his life.
Extensive use of agrochemicals in agricultural practices has been found to cause environmental disturbances and public health hazards affecting food security and sustainability in agriculture. [22] Biofertilizers offers an alternative solution for such agrochemicals, and show yield increase of up to about 10–40% by increasing protein contents ...
Trichoderma koningii is a very common soil dwelling saprotroph with a worldwide distribution. [1] It has been heavily exploited for agricultural use as an effective biopesticide , having been frequently cited as an alternative biological control agent in the regulation of fungi-induced plant diseases.
