In vitro inhibition mechanisms of Trichoderma yunnanense TM10 against Pyricularia oryzae and Rhizoctonia solani causing blast and sheath blight diseases in rice (Oryza sativa L.) by Dedat Prismantoro, Thomas Argyarich Jefferson, Sulistya Ika Akbari, Mia Miranti, Muhamad Shakirin Mispan, Febri Doni

“…Additionally, T. yunnanense TM10 was capable of producing cell wall-degrading enzymes (CWDEs) such as chitinase and cellulase, as well as volatile organic compounds (VOCs) such as hydrogen cyanide (HCN). The multifaceted abilities of T. yunnanense TM10 for limiting the growth of P. oryzae and R. solani underscore its potential as an effective biocontrol agent for enhancing productivity and sustainability in rice cultivation.…”
