Unraveling native <scp> <i>Trichoderma reesei</i> </scp> for field management of tea gray blight: mycoparasitism, chemical profile, and its influence on the <i>chitinase</i> and <scp> <i>β‐1, 3‐glucanase</i> </scp> genes
The present results conclude that a T. reesei-based formulation could be a potential biocontrol candidate and a promising alternative to gray blight for sustainable tea production. © 2026 Society of Chemical Industry.
