INTRODUCTION
Trichoderma spp. have the potential to enhance rice germination, vigour, growth and physiological characteristics and yield. We notice that Trichoderma could be useful to rice agroecosystem. Trichoderma can probably provide optimal ecosystem services under SRI management system which relies on slightly aerobic, unsaturated soil condition and the absence of toxic chemicals, and therefore provides an ideal condition for Trichoderma to thrive unabated.

RESULTS AND DISCUSSION
(2) The most effective carrier was determined using sugarcane bagasse and corn for soil treatment in rice growth.
(1) Seven local isolates of Trichoderma were tested for their ability to enhance rice germination, vigour, growth, photosynthetic rate, stomatal conductance, transpiration, CO2 internal
concentration and transpiration rate.

The long term use of high levels of chemical fertilizers and pesticides has led to serious environmental
problems such as depletion of soil quality and health, emergence of resistant pathogens and reduction in the
number and diversity of soil microbes beneficial to the growth of paddy. Paddy yields must be achieved
through improvement in agricultural productivity based on low input and environmental sustainability. The
use of bio-enhancers such as Trichoderma, an aerobic fungi is one of the low input alternatives recognised to
increase productivity. While known for its ability to promote plant growth and protect plants from pathogens,
the effect of this fungi on the growth and productivity of rice is little known, until recently. Being aerobic in
nature, optimum effect of Trichoderma application on rice crop is expected to be achievable under System
of Rice Intensification (SRI), alternate wet and dry (AWD) and aerobic rice systems. Here we report our
study on the ability of Trichoderma spp. to enhance rice germination, seedling growth, vegetative growth
and physiological processes under SRI as well to determine the best carrier for Trichoderma.

Effect of Trichoderma spp. on germination rate and vigour index
Germination rate (%) Vigour index
The length of shoot and root seedling by Trichoderma spp. were significantly greater than the control (untreated). However, it was not significant on the weight of shoot and root basis. Trichoderma sp. SL2 has the highest ability to stimulate seedling root elongation compared to other strains.
Inoculation of the rice seeds with Trichoderma spp. significantly increased rice seed germination rate, vigour index and speed of germination. Vigour index was highest in the treatment of Trichoderma sp. SL2.

Control
The results of the experiments showed that treatment of rice plants with the isolated Trichoderma spp. has a significant effect on the physiological processes and characteristics of the rice plants.
The general assessment from this experiment is that the application of Trichoderma
spp. to rice plants significantly increased the physiological properties of the rice plants .
The use of Trichoderma
sp.SL2 resulted better growth compared to control.

Changes in the water use efficiency by the different treatments
a) Rice plants inoculated with Trichoderma significantly enhanced the water use efficiency compared to NPK treatment and control. b) Trichoderma sp. SL2 formulated with corn as carrier significantly increased rice seedling growth.

Plant Growth Promoting Effects of Trichoderma to Rice Plants
Trichoderma and SRI Farmers
Rice variety MRQ74 was used for this experiment. Rice seeds were grown in autoclaved sandy clay loam soil under green house condition (26 – 34 0C) placed in a seedling tray. Seven day-old rice seedlings of MRQ74 were transplanted one seedling in 15 x 15 cm plastic containers containing different Trichoderma treatments, NPK treatment and control. Water was maintained at 2 cm level from the soil surface, and actively aerated using a weeder once every ten days. Rice physiological and growth components were measured 30 days after transplanting. Measurements for physiological characteristics were made on flag leaves of MRQ74 rice plants using a LICOR 6400 portable photosynthesis system (Lincoln, Nebraska, USA) and infrared gas analyser (IRGA). This measurement was taken on a clear sunny day between 09:45 am until 11:30 pm under a saturated light condition (solar radiation > 1200 µmol.m-2.s-1).
