Green Tricho is a biological fungicide based on a selected strain of naturally occurring beneficial soil fungus Trichoderma viride/Trichoderma harzianum that protects crops from all several diseases caused by sedd borne and soil borne fungal pathogens like Rhizoctonia spp, Pythium spp, Fusarium spp and Alternaria spp. Competes in the soil for nutrients and rhizosphere dominance with phyto-pathogenic fungi. It produces two types of enzymes cellulose and chitinase. TARGET DISEASES: It is approved for seed / Soil treatment of root rot of pulses, damping off of chilli seedling, wilting and other root rot diseases and also used for fungal diseases (seed/soil borne) caused by Pythium spp, Phytophthora spp, Alternaria spp and the like cause diseases such as Root rots, wilts, Brown rot, damping off, Charcoal rot and other seed borne and soil borne diseases in crops. MODE OF ACTION: Substrate Competition for space and Nutrients: Green Tricho-TV colonizes maximum space and absorbs maximum nutrients available at the target site and thereby controls the pathogens by starving them for food and competing for space-Domino effect. Myxoparasitism: Green Tricho-TV is like a prophylactic biological fungicide that attacks disease causing pathogens before they reach the root system. It grows fasts and coils around thepathogen and penetrates through it. TV derives nutrition from the target pathogenic fungus protoplasm and TV spores multiply inside target pathogenic fungus body and eventually killing it. Enzyme Production: T.viride/ T. harzianum secretes cellulase and chitinase enzymes which react with cell wall of the disease causative pathoogenic fungi or bacteria and dissolve the same. It also secretes substances such as Glyotoxin, Viridin, and Trichoderma which aid in destroying the fungal pathogens. It also inactivates the pathogen's enzymes by secreting certain plant growth stimulating substances. A long lasting effect against pathogens is thus observed owing to the secondary metabolite secretion which exhibit antibiosis effect on the pathogen. METHOD OF APPLICATION: SEED TREATMENT: Mix 10gm/ 10 ml of Green Tricho- TV/TH with 10 gm crude sugar in sufficient water to form a slurry to treat 1 kg seed. Coat the seed with this slurry so as to have a uniform coating all over thye seeds. Dry the seeds in shade for 30 minutes and sow the treated seeds within 24 hours. SOIL APPLICATION: Mix 300 ml of Green Tricho in 300 kg FYM and broadcast to one acre area. SOIL DRENCHING, NURSERY APPLICATION, ROOT DIPPING: Mix 10 g/ 10 ml of Green Tricho- TV/TH per L of water and use to drench soil/ nursery/ dip roots. DRIP IRRIGATION: Mix 3-5 kg Green Tricho-TV/TH in 50 L of water and mix well. Allow to sediment and decant supernatant and feed it through drip irrigation. SPRAY: Mix 100 ml of Green Tricho in 50 L of water and drench on bed or pots.
