The genus Trichoderma is widely used in agriculture due to its performance as a biocontrol agent and plant growth promoter. Therefore, this study aimed to evaluate the production of Trichoderma spp. conidia through solid-state fermentation in locally occurring substrates. The experiment was conducted in a laboratory using a completely randomized design with four treatments of three replicates each (parboiled rice, parboiled rice with jatobá flour, parboiled rice with broken rice and jatobá flour, and broken rice). After inoculation and incubation, conidia production was quantified in a Neubauer chamber and the data were subjected to statistical analysis. The results showed that parboiled rice provided the highest conidia production, while broken rice proved to be a more economically accessible alternative, concluding that both substrates are viable for the mass production of Trichoderma spp., depending on the production objective.
