Trichoderma: A Complete Tool Box for Climate Smart Agriculture

Abstract

The green revolution practiced at a great cost of environment to meet the ever-increasing demands for food and fiber. The indiscriminate use of agrochemicals resulted in a damaged ecosystem, food and water contamination, lost of local cultivar, pesticide tolerance, and disease resistance along with different climate change vulnerability. All these pressurize further on agricultural system to increase its productivity. Short-termed chemical remedy turns into today's hot topics of both environment and health concern. There is an urgent need to develop a sustainable approach for maximum crop production with minimum damage in climate vulnerable zone. Trichoderma are eco-friendly bio-reliance similar to organic and integrated management (IPM) recognized globally. In Bangladesh, the time is to avail Trichoderma as substitute of agrochemicals and fertilizers to combat biotic, abiotic both stresses. This study is for searching beneficial arsenal of Trichoderma to discover the whole tool box to counteract climate threat in rising demand of crop.
