Sažetak
Filamentous fungus Trichoderma viride is an opportunistic avirulent plant symbiont as well as mycoparasite of plant pathogenic fungi. There are different mechanisms by which T. viride provides beneficial effects to plant growth development and productivity. There are mechanisms for enhancing solubility of soil nutrients, enhancing nutrient uptake by plant and for better routeing what are frequently associated with increase in yield. The subject of this study was to evaluate T. viride growth promoting effect on lettuce and to investigate the suitability of alginate pellets as formulation for soil dispersal of fungal inocula. Conducted trial proves alginate pellets as amenable formulation for maintaining and dispersal of T. viride inocula into the soil. Obtained results of enhanced lettuce growth associated with treatments involving T. viride indigenous strains coded TPS confirmed the hypothesis that T. viride has positive influence on plant growth.
