Microbial Strains and Functions :

• Trichoderma viride: Parasitizes the mycelia and fruiting bodies of soil-borne fungal diseases.
• Trichoderma harzianum: Causes hyperparasitism or antibiosis, restricting soil phytopathogens including nematodes.
• Metarhizium anisopliae: Produces adhesions and penetrates insect cuticle, resulting in ultimate death.
• Beauveria bassiana: Produces extracellular hydrolytic enzymes that penetrate insect integument and crumble the host immune system.
• Ampelomyces quisqualis: Parasitizes powdery mildew and actively destroys powdery mildew fungus.
• Bacillus subtilis: Secretes secondary metabolites, cell wall–degrading enzymes, and antioxidants to control pathogens.
• Bacillus firmus: Acts as a nematode antagonist and induces plant systemic resistance.
• Pseudomonas fluorescens: Produces iron-chelating antibiotics and siderophores to control fungal pathogens.
• Verticillium lecanii / Lecanicillium lecanii: Causes mycosis in insects and secretes extracellular enzymes to control insect pests. This sticky fungus invades insect bodies, consumes internal organs, and ultimately leads to death.
