Abstract
The current world of agriculture suffers from many limitations and limiting factors, and Trichoderma fungi as biologically beneficial agents can play considerable roles in soil and crop residue management, biological control of plant diseases and pests even in the niches hardly accessible by chemical pesticides, agricultural environment maintenance, as well as plant growth and yield promotion. Therefore, the creation of Trichoderma fungi via genetic transformation of superior isolates by the genetic constructs for the expression and secretion of insect-specific insecticidal peptides (Trichodermans) can improve their effectiveness in the control of insect pest targets.

The current world of agriculture suffers from many limitations and limiting factors, and Trichoderma fungi as biologically beneficial agents can play considerable roles in soil and crop residue management, biological control of plant diseases and pests even in the niches hardly accessible by chemical pesticides, agricultural environment maintenance, as well as plant growth and yield promotion
Plants are frequently affected by mostly fungal pathogens and insect pests that invade the internal tissues which are not accessible by the pesticides
Any increase of pesticide application dose may lead to the poisoned agricultural products which act like reservoirs and can accumulate the applied chemicals [4]
