In eco-friendly management of soil borne plant diseases the T. viride plays an important role. Traditionally T. viride is multiplied on solid and liquid fermentation. Solid fermented biomass of Trichoderma consisted mainly of chlamydospores and conidia with some amount of mycelia fragments. High costs of substrate and storage methods are major problems in accelerate the production. Therefore, experiments were carried out to screen out locally available agricultural wastes and grains for solid fermentation process. | Evaluation of substrates and carrier material for mass multiplication and shelf life of Trichoderma viride
