DISCUSSION
This study involved the use of Trichoderma as a biocontrol agent against Fusarium oxysporum,
oxysporum with the use of potato dextrose agar serving as the medium which was sterilized with an autoclave. Plate 3 shows the experimenter preparing the medium.
Plate 5 and 6 explained the growth of Trichoderma species subjected to different dosages of the chemicals at different time intervals.
In comparism to similar study conducted by Kubicek et al., (2008) it was discovered that Trichoderma exhibits mycoparasitism relationship; the ability of Trichoderma to attack other fungi, most importantly soil borne pathogens such as Fusarium oxysporum dominated the interest in Trichoderma for many years (Benitez et al., 2004). Also, in a study conducted by Verma et al., (2007) it was discovered that the ability of this fungi to sense, invade and destroy other fungi has been a major driving force behind their commercial use as bio-pesticides. Trichoderma species was exposed to sodium azide and nitrous oxide for four consecutive days. Pl
