a setin-like compound identified in the cocultive of T. harzianum and Catharanthus
roseus, inhibited the plant growth of Oryza sativa, Vigna radiata, Medicago sativa,
Capsicum frutescens, and Lycopersicum esculentum [52]. Similarly, viridiol,
a steroidal compound produced by T. viride, has phytotoxic activity [16].
Fig. 4 Secondary metabolites from Trichoderma that alter plant growth. Notice that these compounds have very different molecular structures among them and with the canonical phytohormones
