Tricoderma virdi 1% WP

1. Disease Control: Trichoderma is a potent biocontrol agent and used extensively for soil-borne diseases. It has been used successfully against pathogenic fungi belonging to various genera, viz. Fusarium, Phytophthora, Sclerotia, etc.

2. Plant Growth Promoter: Trichoderma strains solubilize phosphates and micronutrients. The application of Trichoderma strains with plants increases the number of deep roots, thereby increasing the plant's ability to resist drought.

3. Biochemical Elicitors of Disease: Trichoderma strains are known to induce resistance in plants. Three classes of compounds that are produced by Trichoderma and induce resistance in plants are now known. These compounds induce ethylene production, hypersensitive responses and other defence-related reactions in plant cultivars.

4. Bioremediation: Trichoderma strains play an important role in the bioremediation of soil that are contaminated with pesticides and herbicides. They have the ability to degrade a wide range of insecticides: organochlorines, organophosphates and carbonates.
