A NOVEL RECOMBINANT STRAIN OF TRICHODERMA USEFUL FOR ENHANCING NUTRITIONAL VALUE AND GROWTH OF PLANTS

摘要

The present invention relates to a novel recombinant fungal strain of Trichoderma sp. MTCC 5659 useful for enhancing the nutritional value and growth of plants. The invention further relates to a formulation useful as bioinoculant, wherein the said formulation comprises MTCC 5659 optionally along with a carrier. The claimed strain has been developed via the protoplast fusion technique of two parent Trichoderma strains and is useful for stimulating the content of amino acids, trace elements, chlorophyll and plant growth and yield attributing characters.
