Trichoderma species’ in vitro and in planta inhibition against Ganoderma Boninense, a causative agent of basal stem rot in oil palm (Elaeis guineensis)

Trichoderma species are well-known biological control agents (BCAs) that have significant antagonistic activity against various fungal phytopathogens. On the other hand, Ganoderma boninense has been identified as the phytopathogen causing basal stem rot (BSR), a devastating disease in oil palm crop...
