This book discusses Trichoderma spp. and its molecular aspects and mode of action on important plant pathogens. In Brazil, there are already more than thirty-four species of this fungus registered in commercial products to control soil-borne pathogens. The book also discusses industrial use of Trichoderma. Chapters examine the application of the fungus in the integrated management of plant diseases as well as its general use in bioprocesses and even in the alcohol production industry for biofuels.

Trichoderma is a genus of fungi that are present in all soils, where they are the most prevalent culturable fungi. They are also the most successful biofungicides used in today's agriculture. These green-colored fungi are well known for their antifungal and plant-growth-stimulating effects. This book provides comprehensive information on Trichoderma and its use in medical, agricultural and industrial applications. Section I focuses mainly on identification of Trichoderma species, and Section II is concerned with Trichoderma as a biological control agent. Chapters in these sections cover topics ranging from taxonomic status and biodiversity to biochemical analysis and bio-control application.
