(2016) Methods for the evaluation of the bioactivity and biocontrol of species of Trichoderma. In T. Glare & M. E. Moran-Diez (Eds.), Microbial-based biopesticides (pp. 23-35). New York, USA: Humana Press.978-1-4939-6365-2https://hdl.handle.net/10182/8837Members of the genus Trichoderma comprise the majority of commercial fungal biocontrol agents of plant diseases. As such, there is a wealth of information available on the analysis of their biocontrol potential and the mechanisms behind their superior abilities. This chapter aims to summarize the most common methods utilized within a Trichoderma biocontrol program for assessing the biological properties of individual strains.pp.23-35Printen© Springer Science+Business Media New York 2016Trichodermabiocontrolendophytephytopathogensinduced systemic resistancemycoparasitismantibiosisvolatilesnematodesTrichodermaTriticumZea maysPlant RootsCell Culture TechniquesAntibiosisPlant DiseasesMetabolomeVolatile Organic CompoundsRhizosphereBiological Control AgentsBook Chapter10.1007/978-1-4939-6367-6ANZSRC::100202 Biological ControlANZSRC::060199 Biochemistry and Cell Biology not elsewhere classified1940-6029978-1-4939-6367-6ANZSRC::3101 Biochemistry and cell biologyANZSRC::3404 Medicinal and biomolecular chemistry
