- Abstract
The diversity of fungi in different terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems has made it possible to explore their use as important tools in promoting plant growth and in managing plant diseases given their high potential to replace the use of synthetic chemical products (fertilizers and pesticides). Therefore, this review compiles information on the use of filamentous fungi in promoting plant growth, highlighting the most studied fungal genera for this purpose, such as Trichoderma, Penicillum, and Aspergillus. In addition, information is compiled on the promotion of forage grass growth using filamentous fungi, which could be a sustainable and lower-cost alternative in producing pastures to help raise animals.
