What is Trichoderma harzianum ?
Trichoderma harzianum is a soil dwelling fungi used as a kind of biocontrol fungus,It has quicker growth rate,and highly adaptation.Trichoderma harzianum has the good performance of increasing crop diseases resistance,environmental tolerance and root system developing.So it became the most popular biofungicides on the market. It has been proven that can effectively control soil-borne diseases caused by pathogenic fungus such as Pythium, Rhizoctonia solani, Fusarium, Rhizopus, Haloxylon, Sclerotinia and Sclerotium.
Effects of Trichoderma harzianum in agriculture
Competitive effect: Trichoderma harzianum can grow rapidly in the plant’s root and leaf circumference, seize the site of the plant body, form a protective cover, just like putting boots on the plant, prevent the pathogenic fungi from touching the root system and leaf surface. In order to protect the roots and leaves of plants from the above-mentioned pathogens, and ensure the plants can grow healthily.
Heavy parasitism: Heavy parasitism refers to the complex process of identifying, contacting, entangling, penetrating, and parasitizing pathogenic bacteria in a series of consecutive steps. In the interaction between Trichoderma and pathogenic bacteria, the host mycelium secretes some substances that cause the Trichoderma to grow towards the host fungi. Once the host is recognized by the Trichoderma parasite, a parasitic relationship will be established. After Trichoderma was recognized by host fungi, Trichoderma mycelia grew parallel and spirally wound along the host mycelium, and attached celllike branches were adsorbed on the host mycelium, which secreted extracellular enzymes to solubilize the cell wall and penetrated the host mycelium. Absorb nutrition and kill pathogens.
Effect of antibiotics: Trichoderma harzianum can secrete part of antibiotics, which can inhibit the growth and colonization of pathogens and reduce the damage of pathogenic bacteria.
Plant growth regulation: Trichoderma harzianum colonizes plant roots and produces compounds that stimulate plant growth and induce plant defense responses, improve root microenvironment, enhance plant growth and disease resistance, increase crop yields and yields, and induce plant resistance , start the plant defense response. Trichoderma harzianum can be metabolized to produce xylanase. Under the action of xylanase, plants have a clear defense reaction, K+, H+, Ca2 + ion channels are opened, ethylene is synthesized, and PR protein is accumulated. Trichoderma harzianum produces chitinase and β-1 ,3-glucanase plays an important role in anti-phytopathogenic fungi. The plant’s defense response can be initiated, leading plants to produce and accumulate phenolic compounds and lignin associated with disease resistance. At the same time, the protease produced by it can degrade the pathogens of the cell wall of the digestion plants, directly inhibit the germination of the pathogens, passivate the enzymes of the pathogens, and prevent the pathogens from invading the plant cells.
