Abstract Soybean is one of the most important commodities in the world and is affected by several phytopathogens, such as the fungus Macrophomina phaseolina , which can occur at all stages of development, causing significant production losses. The use of different cultural, chemical and genetic control strategies has shown low efficiency against this phytopathogen. Thus, the objective of this study was to evaluate the use of Trichoderma asperellum , T. endophyticum, and T. harzianum in seed trea
