Özet
Biological control agents are commonly used against pests and diseases in the organic agriculture practices. The antagonistic fungi Trichoderma harzianum is successfully used against various plant pathogenic fungi, i.e. Phytium, Rhizoctonia, Fusarium, Botrytis, Sclerotinia and Perenospora. The application of the agent is mainly to seeds and seedlings at the early stage, and to the soil in the root zone of the crop in the later stage. Application of T. harzianum in the root zone also results in plant growth promotion and increase in yield while conferring the protection to crops. It was determined that the cost of the application of T. harzianum may be covered by the increased yield in some vegetable crops. With the emphasis on its positive side effects, i.e. growth promotion and increased yield, mechanisms employed by the agent in its functionality i.e. plant protection are discussed.
