APLICAÇÃO DE TRICHODERMA PARA PLANTIO DE GRÃOS: UMA REVISÃO

Abstract

Bio-inputs are playing an increasingly important role because they represent a more sustainable approach. To understand just how significant corn is in agriculture and why its cultivation requires attention through the use of bio-inputs, we highlight its contribution to Brazil’s GDP, with a significant and revealing value for the Brazilian economy. The study aims to investigate, through a literature review, strategies for pest control and the promotion of plant growth, with the goal of increasing productivity in a sustainable and chemical-free manner, focusing on authors who present these perspectives within the context of agriculture and crop improvement. Brazil has a large share of exports, which translates to a strong presence in the foreign market; in this sense, it is worthwhile to promote cultivation and highlight the use of key agents such as bio-inputs in the agricultural sector. We can highlight that one of the most widely used bio-inputs is Trichoderma, and to provide context, we can mention some products that have been used in different crops, such as corn, rice, and soybeans, among others. Thus, it is of utmost importance to emphasize how much Trichoderma has contributed to enabling and further improving our production.
