    The objective of this work was to evaluate the production of broccoli seedlings of two varieties (Whalman 29 and Green Sprouting Calabrese) through the application of three commercial Trichodermas in the pylon of the GAD Municipal de Mejía. The problem posed was the deficient rooting in broccoli production, which affects its productivity and sustainability. The methodology used was mixed, combining a field experimental design with qualitative observations. Thirty-two experimental units were used with a randomized complete block design and 4x2 factorial arrangement, including three commercial Trichodermas, a control and two broccoli varieties. Variables such as germination percentage, height, root volume and diameter, and number of leaves were evaluated. The main results indicated that the Whalman 29 variety and the commercial Trichoderma Trichobe showed the best seedling production, with improvements in height, number of leaves and root development. The study concluded that the use of Trichoderma, specifically Trichobe, can be an effective strategy to improve broccoli seedling production, promoting greater growth and disease resistance, which could translate into greater productivity and sustainability of the crop in the region.
