The antagonistic potential of  Trichoderma  spp. for biological control of wood-damaging fungi was investigated in the present paper.  In vitro  assays to investigate antifungal characteristics of  Trichoderma  spp. were conducted with various wood-damaging fungi. Exo-chitinase activity of the isolates was also measured. Three typical wood decayers and three sap-stainers served as target fungi. The antagonistic abilities of each  Trichoderma  species differed markedly according to the target fungus. The growth inhibition rates shown by the non-volatile metabolites against the wood decayers reached 100% for  Trichoderma harzianum  KUC1459. The antibiotics produced by  Trichoderma dorotheae  KUC5027, a recently reported species of  Trichoderma , revealed strong antagonistic effects against sap-stainers.  Trichoderma gamsii  KUC1747 effectively inhibited the growth of all wood-damaging fungi in dual culture tests. The exo-chitinases of  Trichoderma longibrachiatum  KUC1540,  Trichoderma aureoviride  KUC1335, and  T. harzianum  KUC1459 showed significantly high activity.
