Trichoderma is a fungus with multiple agricultural biotechnological applications. The most important is its ability to inhibit the growth, sporulation and germination of spores from pathogenic fungi. A wide variety of research focuses on studying the biological potential and formulation based on Trichoderma spp. with inhibitory activity on microorganisms; the result of these research makes the practices in which the fungus is used more effective in a wide range of environmental conditions, species of pests and crop systems. This review offers a specific view on reports of secondary metabolites identified in strains of fungi of the genus Trichoderma with biotechnological application in the generation of biocontrol agricultural products, with a promising approach for the discovery of new control agents based on agroecological alternatives in the integrated management of fungi, bacteria, parasites and insects.
