The service consists of the use of different strains of fungi as biological agents to avoid attack by soil pathogens in crops. The use of these beneficial fungi protects plants during the vegetative and reproductive stages, against infections by pathogenic fungi. The plant material to be evaluated is analyzed against the attack by the phytopathogen of interest and the antagonistic response presented by the different strains of beneficial fungi. A record is made of the incidence of disease, plant height, root length, dry and fresh weight (aerial part and root), number of leaves and general appearance of the plant (yellowing, wilting, tissue necrosis).
