Addition of Trichoderma consortia to Chilean endemic flora compost teas strongly enhances in vitro and in vivo biocontrol of phytopathogenic fungi.

This study indicates that the addition of a consortium of Trichoderma strains with intra- and interspecific incompatibilities, significantly improves the inhibitory effect of compost teas in in vitro tests against the plant pathogenic fungi, while in vivo, enhances tomato plant growth and reduce plant disease symptoms.
