PRODUCTION OF TRICHODERMA CULTURE The soil of our factory command areas are having abundant source of fungal diseases & deficient of several nutrients therefore, need of application of Trichoderma spp in our soil to improve soil health. Trichoderma is a very effective biological mean for plant disease management especially the soil born. It is a free-living fungus which is common in soil and root ecosystems. It is highly interactive in different mechanisms like competition, antibiosis, mycoparasitism, hyphal interactions, and enzyme secretion. Working mechanism of Trichoderma: Disease Control:  Trichoderma is a potent biocontrol agent and used extensively for soil born diseases. It has been used successfully against pathogenic fungi belonging to various genera, viz. Fusarium, Phytopthara, Scelerotia etc. Plant Growth Promoter:  Trichoderma strains solubilize phosphates and micronutrients. The application of Trichoderma strains with plants increases the number
