Abstract

Mentha arvensis L. (Family Lamiaceae) commonly called Japanese mint. Two strains of Trichoderma were tested for its effect on the growth and productivity of mint plants without using any chemical fertilizers. Trichoderma harzianum (NFCCI 2241) and T. ovalisporum (NFCCI2689) were isolated from soil samples of Mentha growing fields of CIMAP, Hyderabad. The herb, oil yield and menthol content were highest and a significant increase with NFCCI 2241 in both crops and it was more than with NFCCI 2689.
