Effect of the growth fluid metabolites of Trichoderma isolates on the development of M. maydis submerged cultures. The Trichoderma isolates are T. asperelloides (T203), T. longibrachiatum (T7407, T7507), and T. asperellum (P1). All colonies were grown for six days. Control is potato dextrose broth (PDB) medium M. maydis cultures, maintained under the same conditions. The M. maydis dry weight was measured at the experiment’s end. Error lines represent a standard error of five repetitions. Statistical significance (p < 0.05) of variance was tested using the one-way ANOVA test and is represented by different letters (A–C) above the chart bars.
