Abstract

Pulses are an important part of the human diet; it has all the nutritional elements required for the body. Pulses contain various varieties like beans, lentils, peas, green gram, horse gram, and chickpeas. Pulses are rich in protein and are low in fats. This reduces the risk of cardiovascular diseases. The presence of phenols, flavonoids, saponins, oxalates, and enzyme inhibitors is the added health benefit for humans. Bioactive metabolite produced by Trichoderma species plays an important role in interaction with plants and pathogens. These bioactive metabolites have antibiotic properties, which inhibit or kill other organisms. These bioactive metabolites are used for crop protection and as biofertilizers. These bioactive metabolites are also able to induce systemic disease resistance in plants. Trichoderma is well known for its secondary metabolite production ability. The widespread use of secondary metabolites for the control of plant pathogens, plant growth promotion, and induction of host resistance may become popular in the coming years under IPM strategies.
