Abstract
Members of the genus Trichoderma comprise the majority of commercial fungal biocontrol agents of plant diseases. As such, there is a wealth of information available on the analysis of their biocontrol potential and the mechanisms behind their superior abilities. This chapter aims to summarize the most common methods utilized within a Trichoderma biocontrol program for assessing the biological properties of individual strains.Keywords: Antibiosis; Biocontrol; Endophyte; Induced systemic resistance; Mycoparasitism; Nematodes; Phytopathogens; Trichoderma; Volatiles
