Trichoderma
spp. is a plant growth promoting fungi which is reported to have positive effects on the growth of many crops. Our previous study has reported the capacity of
Trichoderma
spp. in enhancing rice germination and vigour. In this study, the effectiveness of a local isolate
Trichoderma
sp. FCR1 to enhance rice seedlings growth was assessed experimentally under greenhouse condition using a completely randomized design. The results showed that the inoculation of the rice plants with
Trichoderma
sp. FCR1 significantly increased rice plants height, root length, wet weight, leaf number and biomass compared to untreated rice plants (control). The result of this study can serve as a reference for further work on the application of beneficial microorganisms to enhance rice production.
