Summary: Several formulations based on Trichoderma spp. are available in the Brazilian market for application as biocontrol agents or plant-growth promotion. However, only some studies are dedicated to improving the production of Trichoderma conidia in solid-state fermentation, this bioagent's main form of production. The objective of the work was to evaluate the effect of the moisture content of parboiled rice and the fermentation time on the production of conidia by T. harzianum, aiming to maximize efficiency and scale up production
