Abstract :
The main agricultural importance of Trichoderma species was
not so far away mainly suppression of plant diseases. Novel
investigations emphasize their potential to stimulate plant
growth independently of suppression of any plant disease.
However, Trichoderma spp. and even biotypes of same
species vary between each other in its effectiveness both in the
control of plant pathogenic fungi and in the promotion of plant
growth and increasing yield. The subject of this study was to
evaluate growth promoting effect of two indigenous T. viride
stains STP16 and STP8 on cabbage and red beet. Increment of
fresh and dry weight accomplished by STP16 was statistically
significant so, it could be concluded that growth enhancement
of 27% at red beet and 29% at cabbage is significant.
