Climate changes are responsible for the emergence of new diseases and pests that affect agricultural production. Crops diseases and pests are a threat to agricultural crop production that affect yield in quantity and quality. Plant pathogenic fungi, bacteria, viruses and nematodes are affecting the growth of plants and reducing their yields. Trichoderma spp. is well known biological control agent, which is widely used in agricultural crop production. Trichoderma is one of the beneficial bio-agent which influences soil health and acts as a bio-fertilizer, bioremediation, uptake of nutrients, plant growth promoter, resistance to abiotic stresses, and increases crops yield. Trichoderma spp. is colonization in the roots that helps insolubilization of minerals such as Zn, Cu, Fe, Mn, rock phosphate, and N-used efficiency. It’s widely studied due to its production of antibiotics that parasitize other fungi and compete with harmful plant microbes as common in soil and root inhabitants. Mechanisms involved as production of antibiotics, competition for nutrients, mycoparasitism, and systemic induce resistance in plants. Trichoderma spp. can manage plant diseases in the sustainable agricultural crop production and detoxification of polluted areas. In the rhizosphere zone their recognition and exchange of signalling molecules by Trichoderma. In association with plant roots, triggers systemic induce resistance and increases plant nutrient uptake. Trichoderma enhances plant growth, development and resistance that increased the yield of crops. Induce root branching and increase shoot biomass by Trichoderma strains is due to fungal auxin-like compounds. Trichoderma spp is effective against soil-borne plant pathogenic fungi and nematodes also. Trichoderma spp is one of the fast-growing bio-control agents that produce green spores as chlamydospores and is used against soil-borne plant pathogens such as Sclerotium rolfsii, Rhizoctonia solani, Fusarium, Macrophomina, Pythium, Phytophthora, and Aspergillus, manage through the action of mycoparasitism, antibiotics and competition for food and space. Trichoderma is a beneficial organism in an ecological situation and environmental compatibility makes it useful in all types of cropping systems in agriculture and food safety. Trichoderma can manage plant-parasitic nematodes by inducing resistance, parasitism, antibiosis, production of lytic enzymes, and modifying the root, nutrient and water uptake by the plants.

Trichoderma enhances plant growth, development and resistance that increased the yield of crops. Induce root branching and increase shoot biomass by Trichoderma strains is due to fungal auxin-like compounds. Trichoderma spp is effective against soil-borne plant pathogenic fungi and nematodes also. Trichoderma spp is one of the fast-growing bio-control agents that produce green spores as chlamydospores and is used against soil-borne plant pathogens such as Sclerotium rolfsii, Rhizoctonia solani, Fusarium, Macrophomina, Pythium, Phytophthora, and Aspergillus, manage through the action of mycoparasitism, antibiotics and competition for food and space. Trichoderma is a beneficial organism in an ecological situation and environmental compatibility makes it useful in all types of cropping systems in agriculture and food safety. Trichoderma can manage plant-parasitic nematodes by inducing resistance, parasitism, antibiosis, production of lytic enzymes, and modifying the root, nutrient and water uptake by the plants.
