Trichoderma harzianum mutants enhance antagonism against phytopathogenic fungi, phosphorus assimilation and drought tolerance in Jalapeño pepper plants

ABSTRACT The Trichoderma harzianum fungus is one of the most widely used biological control agents in agriculture. A new T. harzianum THITR01 strain was isolated and their spores were mutagenized with ethyl methane sulfonate obtaining 174 mutants. M7, M14, M21 and M24 are mutant strains that showed...
