Trichoderma asperellum is recognized as an effective biocontrol agent and plant growth promoter, playing a vital role in sustainable agriculture. To enhance the efficacy of formulations, ecoenzyme supplementation has been proposed promising approach. This study investigated effect on spore count corn-based formulations. A Completely Randomized Design (CRD) was employed with five treatments replicates, counts were assessed under varying concentrations (0%, 20%, 40%, 60%, 80%). The results indicated that 60% concentration significantly increased count, reaching maximum 252.32 × 10⁶ spores. However, higher (80%) resulted decreased (174.88 10⁶), which similar to control (172.6 likely due toxic effects or nutrient imbalances. These findings highlight importance selecting optimal maximize asperellum, thereby contributing more biofertilizer applications agricultural practices.
