    Disease problems have traditionally been treated through the use of chemical fungicides; However, this measure has unwanted effects, such as the emergence of resistance to diseases, contamination of soils and water sources, and on human health.

Among these, the Trichoderma fungus stands out, it has presented a high control of vascular wilt, overturning, gray mold among others; These are diseases of importance in crops of the Sabana de Bogotá and Boyacá.

    We can affirm that the prophecies, although slowly, are being fulfilled given the potential for destruction that humanity generates every day. Apparently we are immersed in a revolution of knowledge and information, whose end is not in sight and as its growth and evolution its consequences are unpredictable. There is an imaginary that this revolution will lead humanity to lose control of powerful new forces and even reverse the benefit to humanity and unleash our own slavery and destruction. Indeed, more than the loss of our individual freedom, what we are putting the most at risk is our survival as a species, due to the high irreversible damage that we are inflicting on the environment. If we do not put a stop to this crazy race of self-destruction, turning forests into deserts, polluting rivers and oceans, destroying the ozone layer, extracting and depleting oil and coal among many other irreversible damages, we will not have a promising future.
