Evaluation of Phosphate Solubilization, Hydrolytic Enzyme and Metabolite Production Ability of Trichoderma spp. Isolated from the Rhizospheric Soil of U.P.

摘要

Biocontrol agents are used as a alternative to chemical pesticides for the control of phytopathogens. Trichoderma species are well known biocontrol agents for a variety of soil borne pathogens. However, their efficient interaction with the host needsto be accompanied by production of secondary metabolites and cell wall degrading enzymes. Phosphate solubilizing microorganisms have a considerable positive impact on the growth and development of plants. In the present study ten Trichoderma species isolated from the various agro-climatic zones of Uttar Pradesh were tested for the phosphate solubilization, Volatile metabolite production and cell wall degrading enzyme production activity. All the species shows efficient production of all the tested parameters.
