  • Category: Biological Fungicide and Plant Growth Promoter

Key Features:

  1. Dual-Action Formula:

    • Combines Trichoderma viride and Pseudomonas fluorescens for effective disease suppression.

  2. Eco-Friendly Solution:

    • Biodegradable and safe for humans, animals, and beneficial insects.

  3. Disease Control:

    • Protects against soil-borne pathogens like Fusarium, Rhizoctonia, Pythium, and Phytophthora.

  4. Plant Growth Promotion:

    • Enhances root development and improves nutrient uptake.

  5. Soil Health Improvement:

    • Increases microbial diversity and strengthens soil fertility.

  6. Residue-Free:

    • Leaves no harmful residues in crops, making it ideal for organic farming.

Mode of Action:

Trichoderma Viride (1% WP):

  • Antagonistic Action: Competes with harmful fungi for space and nutrients, suppressing their growth.

  • Parasitic Effect: Attacks and degrades pathogen cell walls, leading to their destruction.

  • Induced Resistance: Stimulates plant defense mechanisms against future infections.

Pseudomonas fluorescens (0.5% WP):

  • Antibiotic Production: Produces antibiotics that inhibit pathogen growth.

  • Enzyme Secretion: Releases enzymes that break down fungal cell walls.

  • Iron Chelation (Siderophores): Limits iron availability to pathogens, weakening them.

  • Root Colonization: Forms a protective barrier around roots to prevent disease attacks.
