🌱 TRICHODERMA VIRIDE: MODE OF ACTION & CROP-WISE BENEFITS

🔰 Introduction

The impact of Wilt, Damping Off, Collar Rot, Sheath Blight, and Charcoal Rot on Agriculture is considerably negative. Not only do these diseases impact the root system of the plants, but the nutrient uptake of the entire plant is also affected. As a result, the yield has drastically decreased. Such pathogens can be treated with the help of biofungicides like Aastha Organics Derma (Trichoderma Viride 1.5% W.P.). Along with treating these pathogens, such biofungicides and bio-pesticides help improve the natural fertility of the soil, improve root development, and boost the immunity of the plant.


🔬Action Methods of Trichoderma Viride 

✔ Antagonist Activity — Grows faster than other pathogenic fungi, actively competes with them for nutrients and space, and suppresses their growth. 

✔ Mycoparasitism — Uses enzymes to digest and break down the mycelium of other fungi. 

✔ Organic Matter Decomposition — Assists in decomposing organic matter, which promotes soil nutrients and enhances soil fertility. 

✔ Induction of Systemic Resistance — Activates and maintains the protective defense response of the plant.
