Popis: In the present work, the use of low-cost substrates to produce Trichoderma spores was evaluated. Rice, corn bran, and wheat bran were used as solid substrate to grow Trichoderma harzanium sp., Trichoderma viride sp., Tricho- derma koningii sp., and Trichoderma polysporum sp. No external nutrient sources were added to the solid substrate that was only moisturized with deonized water, sterilized, inoculated, and cultivated at 30 °C for 7 days. Wheat bran showed to be the most suitable substrate to produce Trichoderma spores for all strains that were evaluated. High spore counts were obtained for T. harzianum sp. (28.30×10 8 /gds) and T. viride sp. (24.10×10 8 spores/gds).
