The fungus Trichoderma harzianum SK-55 provides broad antagonistic interaction against plant pathogenic diseases, and may be used to control fungal diseases in plants. A fungicidal composition contains Trichoderma harzianum SK-55 isolated from the soil. A method of manufacturing a fungicidal composition comprises introducing a large quantity of Trichoderma harzianum SK-55 into a culture medium, incubating it on the culture medium at a specific temperature range and at a specific humidity for a specific period of time, drying it at a specific low temperature range, and, if necessary, milling it into specific grain sizes. The fungicidal composition containing the incubated fungus may be distributed at the rate of 0.5 g to 5 g/m2. |
