Two related alternatives are conjecture to explain the improved plant performance under biochar treatment: the biochar stimulated shifts in microbial populations towards beneficial plant growth promoting rhizobacteria or fungi, and low doses of biochar chemicals, many of which are phytotoxic or biocidal at high concentrations, stimulated plant growth at low doses (hormesis).

DEGRADATION OF PLANT PATHOGENIC FUNGI BY TRICHODERMA HARZIANUM
Isolates of T. harzianum were found to differ in the levels of hydrolytic enzymes produced when mycelium of S. rolfsii, Rhizoctonia solani, and Pythium aphanidermatum in soil was attacked, correlated with the ability of each of the Trichoderma isolates to control the respective soilborne pathogens.
A selective medium for improving quantitative isolation ofTrichoderma spp. from soil
ATrichoderma-selective agar medium (TSM) was developed for quantitative isolation ofTrichoderma spp. from soil. Selectivity was obtained by using chloramphenicol as a bacterial inhibitor, and…
Improved selective media for isolation ofTrichoderma spp. orFusarium spp.
Modifications were made to improve the Trichoderma selective medium (TSM), which was efficient for isolating Fusarium spp.

There are indications that biochar induces responses along both systemic acquired resistance (SAR) and induced systemic resistance (ISR) pathways, resulting in a broad spectrum controlling capacity in the canopy.

It is found that soil-applied biochar induces systemic resistance to the foliar fungal pathogens Botrytis cinerea and Leveillula taurica on pepper and tomato and to the broad mite pest on pepper.
