Effect of Urea on the Production of Chitinase by Trichoderma Viride

Trichoderma spp. is proved to be an efficient bio control agent. It is one of the most frequently studied genera in relation to biological control of plant diseases. The bio control activity of Trichoderma spp depends on the production of large number of hydrolytic enzymes. Trichoderma spp. produces variety of antimicrobial substances or biologically active substances those are inhibitory to plant pathogens. Trichoderma is one of the groups of beneficial fungi, that have been shown to act, and are commercially applied as biocontrol agents against fungal pathogens. Trichoderma Biocontrol agents can even exert positive effects on plants with an increase in plant growth and also in the stimulation of plant defense mechanism. Urea did not show any negative impact on the growth of Trichoderma viride. Trichoderma viride cannot be applied to crops along with fungicides or insecticides. While applying chemical fertilizers, care maybe taken by avoiding the place and time of application of both.
