Total crude protein extract of Trichoderma spp. induces systemic resistance in pearl millet against the downy mildew pathogen.

Several proteins and peptides of microbial origin are reported for their elicitor properties, which play a vital role in the development of local and systemic resistances in plants. In this study, the efficacy of total crude proteins (TCP) extracted from six different Trichoderma spp. (T.
