Synthetic VOCs from T. hamatum—especially 1-octen-3-one—were strongly antifungal, arresting growth of crop pathogens like Botrytis cinerea and Gaeumannomyces tritici. Findings support the use of VOCs as tools for pathogen management in sustainable agriculture.

In confrontation assays, T. hamatum GD12 suppressed the fungal pathogen Sclerotinia sclerotiorum. Volatile collections from the assays, followed by GC and GC-MS analysis, revealed that several T. hamatum VOCs were induced during confrontation, supporting a VOC-mediated mechanism
