TL;DR

The study demonstrates that native non-rhizosphere Trichoderma isolates, particularly PSV and GMV, possess multifunctional traits combining compatibility, growth promotion, and disease suppression; however, large-scale field evaluations and formulation standardization are required to validate their consistency and facilitate their deployment in sustainable tomato production systems.
