The effect of different solid media, temperature and pH was observed on Trichoderma species. The Trichoderma asperellum show an excellent growth at 25 -35 ˚C. The radial growth of Trichoderma asperellum was evaluated different culture media, potato dextrose agar, sorghum meal agar, cazpeak dextrose agar, corn meal agar and starch agar. The Trichoderma asperellum show maximum radial growth in potato dextrose agar and minimum radial growth in starch agar. The most favourable pH 6 -7 ranges was found in which total dry weight of mycelium also varies between 1.21-1.18g. Maximum pH was found at 6 and 7 and minimum dry mycelia weight in pH4 and pH9.
