Trichoderma are promising biological bio-protectants agent against plant pathogenic fungi. Producing large number of spores and unaffected to environmental variabilities and and have a long shelf life are definitely required.
Hello Dr jwad
i think pulses of light or blue -light and starvation induce sporulation of Tricoderma spp .below some references:-
1-Betina,V.1995.Photoinduced conidiation in Trichoderma viride.Int.J>Microbiol 2:55-68
2-Gulun,E.1971 Morphogensis in Trichoderma ;induction of conidation by narrow -beam illmination of restrected areas of the fungal colony .plant cell physiol.12:779-783
good luck
Hi , I agree with Prof.Dr. Mohammed answers ...good luck.
Hi Jawad: There are a master thesis about formalization and spore production of Trichoderma in the department of plant protection - University of Baghdad. I dont remember the title of the thesis but the name of the MS student is Mohammad Al-Hittar, his supervisor is Dr Farkad Al-Rawi. I think there is an electronic copy of the thesis, if you have any contact with any one in plant protection department - university of Baghdad, ask him to provide it to you. Unfortunately i am now in sabbatical leave, other whys I will send it to you.
