Trichoderma spp and its potential in soil bioremediation, Chile A Drynet Science & Technology Expertise Trichoderma spp and its potential in soil bioremediation.
The experimental implementation of the fungus Trichoderma spp in a degraded soil, located in an area contaminated by waste from cooper and gold mining is described in this report. The study was designed to test the potential persistence of this plant-beneficial fungus in soils contaminated by mining waste. The persistence of the Trichoderma spp in those extreme conditions was demonstrated by the study, as shown by the laboratory soil analysis. by Estudio y Gestion Ambiental (E&GA) January 2010 pp-22
