[Ecological and biological benefits of the cosmopolitan fungus Trichoderma spp. in agriculture: A perspective in the Mexican countryside].

There is currently an extensive record of scientific studies on the general characteristics of filamentous fungus Trichoderma spp., which demonstrates its wide range of interrelation in ecosystems and its fungal activity that benefits the agricultural sector and agroindustry, as well as its importance in the preservation and restoration of the soil microbiota. The success of the biological and ecological benefits of Trichoderma is due to its reproductive capacity, as well as its efficiency in the use of soil nutrients; the efficacy of the genus has been reported against a variety of phytopathogenic fungi, as well as the potential to synthesize and release enzymes (cellulases, xylanases, and chitinases) that have been implemented in agroindustrial bioprocesses.

Biological Control of Charcoal Rot in Peanut Crop through Strains of spp., in Puebla, Mexico.

Charcoal rot is an emerging disease for peanut crops caused by the fungus . In Mexico, peanut crop represents an important productive activity for various rural areas; however, charcoal rot affects producers economically. The objectives of this research were: (a) to identify and morphologically characterize the strain "PUE 4.

First Report of Macrophomina phaseolina Causing Charcoal Rot of Peanut (Arachis hypogaea L.) in Mexico.

Peanut (Arachis hypogaea L.) is the third most important oilseed crop in the world. The cultivated area in Mexico is currently 52,046 ha with a production of 91,109 ton in 2018 (FAO, 2020).

Endophytic Species Isolated from and Roots Reduce Symptoms Caused by in Avocado.

Avocado root rot caused by the oomycete is a severe disease that affects avocado production in Mexico and worldwide. The use of biological control agents such as species isolated from places where the disease is always present, represents an efficient alternative to reduce losses. Thus, the objective of this research was to evaluate the biocontrol ability of 10 endophytic spp.
