Summary
Trichoderma spp. represents a group of advantageous soil-borne microorganisms known for their capacity to enhance soil quality, facilitate plant growth, and serve as biocontrol agents against various plant diseases. Employing direct antagonism and competition, particularly within the rhizosphere, Trichoderma orchestrates microbial interactions, shaping the soil microbiome. This review comprehensively explores the potential applications and role of Trichoderma in soil for fostering sustainable agriculture. The initial focus is on how Trichoderma spp. contribute to plant growth and development, especially under biotic and abiotic stress conditions, and provide protection against plant pathogens. The article delves into diverse applications of Trichoderma species in agriculture, encompassing
