For identification of the isolates different morphological characteristics such as colony radius in different media and under various temperatures, morphology and size of conidium, conidiophore, phialide, chlamydospore and mycelia were studied. T. brevicompactum and T. virens from Pachybasium section, T. harzianum from Trichoderma section. The results showed that most frequently encountered species were T. harzianum and T. virens, respectively. These species have been isolated from various parts of the plants and reported for the first time and T. harzianum has been isolated as endophyte from the roots of Nicotiana tabacum.
