Description
Summary:The use of Trichoderma fungi in plant production is an interesting biotechnological tool to increase productivity. The research evaluated the potential of two non-commercial strains of Trichoderma asperelloides and T. virens for increasing cabbage yield under field conditions. Growth and productivity parameters were determined at 95 and 150 days after seedling transplantation. The inoculation of the T. asperelloides and T. virens isolates in the soil provided 36.65% and 47.97% increments in the leaf fresh mass values marketed at the first harvest, respectively, thus showing potential for developing crops of Brassica oleracea in the South of Brazil.
