The University of Jordan :: Research Groups :: Effect of Trichoderma spp. on perennial ryegrass...

The application of Trichoderma species has been studied for its potential to improve turfgrass quality under saline conditions. Trichoderma spp. are beneficial fungi known for their plant growth-promoting and stress-alleviating properties. When applied to turfgrass subjected to varying levels of salinity, Trichoderma helped enhance root development, chlorophyll content, and overall plant vigor. The fungi appear to mitigate salt stress by improving nutrient uptake and stimulating the plant’s antioxidant defenses. As a result, turfgrass treated with Trichoderma showed better growth, greener foliage, and greater tolerance to high salinity compared to untreated controls, suggesting that Trichoderma spp. could be an effective biological tool to maintain turfgrass health in saline environments.
