Trichoderma spp. are the best biocontrol agents, as more than 60% of the enlisted biofungicides
utilized in present agribusinesses are based on Trichoderma. Plant–Trichoderma–pathogen is a complex
community having multiple mechanisms. Seed bio-priming with Trichoderma strains isolated from tree
bark, reduced the mean germination time, enhanced the seedling vigour and total chlorophyll content
which could be related to the higher yield observed in rice varieties. This investigation demonstrates
that Trichoderma strains obtained from tree bark could be considered to be utilized for the sustainable
health management of rice crop. Recent methodologies based on molecular science can easily identify,
clone, sequence, and express the activity of the genes and can observe their capacities and functions
in the biocontrol system. Herein we present the utilization of Trichoderma strains collected from tree
barks for rice plant growth, its health management and paddy straw degradation. The aforementioned
variables are required to enhance their efficiency and applications and also demonstrate the possibilities
for development of strains of Trichoderma spp.. Trichoderma isolated from tree bark is a novel strain
for the preparation of rice straw compost and its value addition. The isolate produces high amount of
straw degrading enzymes like cellulase, xylanase and laccase. There is 20% of weight reduction of
rice straw during composting through Trichoderma within 30 days. The rice straw compost mediated
by Trichoderma is rich in nutrients like N, P, K and promoted germination, seedling vigour and growth of
rice plant. We also conclude that apart from growth promotion, enriched compost imparted intrinsic
stress tolerance to rice by producing higher amount of defense enzymes like catalase, peroxidase and
superoxide dismutase. In the present-day scenario, 60-70 million tonnes of rice straw burning in India
is a huge economic loss in addition to the associated problems of air pollution. The Trichoderma
mediated-straw manure could be promoted as one of the viable options to reduce straw burning.
However, large scale field level evaluation is recommended to commercialise this product for the
benefit of farmers
