Trichoderma And Gliocladium, Volume 2: Enzymes, Biological Control and commercial applications

by Gary E. Harman (Editor), C. P. Kubicek (Editor)

Overview

Fungi belonging to the genera Trichoderma and Gliocladium are soil- bourne saprophytes which have been used for industrial and agricultural applications for decades. Some strains produce enzymes and antibiotics while others are useful as biological agents for the protection of plants against pathogens.
