Trichoderma as an Efficient Biological Control Agent to Manage Disease in Organic Farms of Nepal

Abstract

Disease management caused by fungi, bacteria, virus or nematodes in the organic farming system of Nepal is major concern. Different biological control methods are being implemented for disease control and higher yield in these farms, and one of the effective biological control agents (BCA) is Trichoderma spp. Therefore, in this paper, we are presenting brief outlook on Trichoderma species as a potential biological control agent against several pathogens infecting vegetable species, and cash crops of organic farms in Nepal.
