摘要

The present invention refers to a purified strain of Trichoderma longibrachiatum identified as ThlCA-4 based on molecular analysis with code GenBank: HQ667667.1, characterized in that it has the sequence SEQ:ID:1 and is deposited in the Agricultural Research Culture Collection (NRRL) with the code: NRRL50762. The microorganism is a mycoparasite fungus with fungicide properties of wide spectrum, which produces substances for promoting the vegetable growth upon being inoculated in horticultural interest plants, mainly transgenic or conventional cotton and cucumber.
