Summary: In this work 10 endophytic Trichoderma asperellum strains were isolated from different banana genotypes and evaluated for its biocontrol potential against Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. cubense (Foc, subtroopical race 4 -SR4) the causal agent of Fusarium wilt of banana (FWB). All the T. asperellum strains showed biocontrol potential against Foc. the strains YG01F, M001F, and MC01F from Yamgambi No.2, Musa acuminata, and Musa acuminata subsp. malaccensis, respectively, exhibited the highest percentages of inhibition. Our results suggest a high and multifunctional diversity of culturable endophytic T. asperellum from Musa spp. roots, with a strong potential for new product developments to reduce FWB impact and enhance productivity in banana.
