Advances in Trichoderma Biology for Agricultural Applications covers the beneficial properties of Trichoderma in enhancing global agricultural productivity. Trichoderma are biotechnologically significant fungi, being widely used both agriculturally and industrially. In many cases Trichoderma are also a potential drug source of clinical importance. In recent years, driven by advances in genetics and genomics, research on these fungi has opened new avenues for its various applications. This book covers i) Current state of Trichoderma taxonomy, and species identification, ii) Trichoderma and plant-pathogenic fungi interactions, iii) Trichoderma interactions with plants, including rhizosphere competence of Trichoderma, antagonistic potentials, plant growth promotion, and management of various abiotic stresses in plants, iv) Practical aspects of Trichoderma commercialization in agriculture, v) Biosynthesis of metal-based nanoparticles and its application, and vi) Negative impact of Trichoderma strains in the environments.
Reading this book should kindle further discussions among researchers working in fungal biotechnology, microbiology, agriculture, environmental science, forestry, and other allied subjects and thus lead to a broader scope of Trichoderma-based products and technologies. The knowledge shared in this book should also provide a warning on the potential risks associated with Trichoderma.

Dr. N. Amaresan is an Assistant Professor at C.G. Bhakta Institute of Biotechnology, Uka Tarsadia University, Gujarat.

He has h-index of 21 with 1521 citations for his research papers. He has more than 13 years of experience in research & teaching in various allied fields of microbiology & life science including host-microbe interaction, probiotics, herbal medicine, immunobiology and others. He has been serving as an editorial board member and reviewer of many international journals. He has been honoured with international as well as national awards for excellent research performance [Best Researcher Award (2020), INSA Visiting Scientist Award (2019), DST-SERB Early Career Research Award (2018), Young Scientist Awards (2011, 2013 & 2018)]. He secured All India rank ‘32’ in CSIR-NET national examination (2011; Life Sciences). He has successfully completed research projects from national funding agencies such as SERB-DST, GUJCOST, UTU, Neosciences & Research Solutions Pvt. Ltd. and guided students for their doctoral and master degrees. Dr. Irina S. Druzhinina is a professor of Microbiology in the College of Resources and Environmental Sciences in Nanjing Agricultural University (China), head of the International Committee on Trichoderma Taxonomy, member of the International Committee of Taxonomy of Fungi, IUMS, and an editor of the Applied and Environmental Microbiology (AEM) journal (ASM).  Before moving to China in 2019, for many years, Irina ran the group of Microbiology and Applied Genomics in TU Wien (Vienna, Austria), where she studied fungal DNA Barcoding and molecular evolution, genomics, and ecophysiology of Trichoderma and other hypocrealean fungi. The newly established Fungal Genomics Laboratory (FungiG) in Nanjing continues the research on the genus Trichoderma, focusing on its ecological genomics and fitness. In particular, the group is interested in the development of a Trichoderma-based model for systems biology investigation of filamentous fungi.  Furthermore, the group studies the function and production of fungal surface-active proteins (hydrophobins, cerato-platanins) and their role in the fungal lifestyle. The applied research of Irina and her colleagues targets the improvement of the biological degradation of synthetic polymers and the development of biological products for plant protection and growth promotion.
