The Fungal Genus Chaetomium and Its Agricultural Applications

Part of the book series: Progress in Biological Control ((PIBC,volume 22))

Abstract

Chaetomium is a ubiquitous genus well known by its properties for agriculture application. In this review, biology and taxonomy mainly of its principal and more studied species group, C. globosum, is presented. Besides, the use of this fungus as plant growth promoter and biocontrol agent through bioformulations, secondary metabolites and enzymes is mentioned. Finally, this review deals with the researches and current status in Argentina.
