What does the published scientific research say about Trichoderma hamatum?

Multiple biocontrol studies report substantial efficacy against fungal pathogens. Conidial sprays significantly reduced Lasiodiplodia theobromae lesions on macadamia in controlled trials (PMID 36118222). Whole-genome sequencing of a rhizosphere isolate identified 11 antimicrobial biosynthetic gene clusters and plate-assay inhibition rates of 66–70% against three Fusarium root-rot species (PMID 39997420). Volatile organic compounds — principally 6-pentyl-2H-pyran-2-one — are reported in peer-reviewed research to inhibit Neocosmospora solani at 63.77% (PMID 38942473).

On the biostimulant side, root inoculation of leafy Brassica crops is cited in the literature as increasing productivity — kale 55%, cabbage 36%, turnip greens 46% — alongside elevated glucosinolates and antioxidant content (PMID 34834812). A cell-free T. hamatum extract is reported to improve lettuce growth under high salt stress (200 mM NaCl), associated with upregulation of abscisic acid biosynthesis and proline synthesis genes (PMID 41751450).
