Biomass production of Trichoderma Viride

In eco-friendly management of soil borne plant diseases the T. viride plays an important role. Traditionally T. viride is multiplied on solid and liquid fermentation. Solid fermented biomass of Trichoderma consisted mainly of chlamydospores and conidia with some amount of mycelia fragments. High costs of substrate and storage methods are major problems in accelerate the production. Therefore, experiments were carried out to screen out locally available agricultural wastes and grains for solid fermentation process.

The biomass production of Trichoderma species is greatly influenced by the type of nutritional sources besides environmental factors. To evaluate the influence of nutrient sources on the biomass production of T. viride various carbon sources such as peptone, mannitol, glucose and nitrogen sources such as ammonium sulphate, urea and potassium nitrate were used in this study. Among the tested carbon sources, significantly highest biomass production was observed in peptone supplemented media followed by glucose and mannitol.
