A common biocontrol agent for the control of plant diseases is

Options

  1. ABaculovirus
  2. BBacillus thuringiensis
  3. CGlomus
  4. DTrichoderma

Correct answer

D. Trichoderma

Step-by-step solution

Trichoderma is a genus of fungi that is present in all soils, where they are the most prevalent culturable fungi. Many species in this genus can be characterized as opportunistic avirulent plant symbionts. Several strains of Trichoderma have been developed as biocontrol agents against fungal diseases of plants. The various mechanisms include antibiosis, parasitism, inducing host-plant resistance and competition. Most biocontrol agents are from the species T . harzianum, T . viride and T . hamatum. The biocontrol ag
