Abstract
Management of plant diseases holds a crucial cost component in crop productivity. Traditional approaches used for managing the diseases include the use of resistant varieties and various hazardous chemicals and pesticides. However, due to the increasing global concerns about the perilous effects of fungicides upon environment, residual toxicity, and nontarget organisms, strong desire to replace such chemicals gave way to the biological substitutes. One such organism is Trichoderma which has shown tremendous potential not only in terms of enhancing plant growth but has also proven its mettle in successfully managing the plant diseases. In this context, medicinal and aromatic plants (MAPs) are no exception since they too are attacked by various pathogens thereby hampering their total yield and quality of final product. The chapter has thus been written with the aim of unravelling the past and current day research done in managing the different diseases of MAPs with the usage of Trichoderma spp. and what future does it hold in the area of successful MAPs cultivation.
