Biopesticide Plant Disease Control

Target crops

All cultivated Agricultural crops/Lawns and forest plantations/Horticultural crops/Plantation crops/Floricultural crops/Reclamation of fallow agricultural land to be brought under new cultivation

Composition

(Trichoderma viride 1.5% W.P.)
Trasco Trichostar is a wettable powder formulation containing 2 X 10⁶ colony forming units (c.f.u) of Trichoderma viride per gram
 

Mode of action

1. Trichostar is highly effective in controlling soil borne diseases , root, collar and stem rots, wilts, and damping offs, leaf spots etc. Growing roots are protected from attacking pathogenic organisms such as Rhizoctonia, Pythium,Phytophthora ,Sclerotinia, Fusarium and Sclerotium and several others.

2. Trichoderma viride in Trichostar is parasitic to these plant pathogens. Mycelia grow and coil around hyphae of host (pathogenic) fungi when seeds are treated with Trichostar thus reducing their virulence and the plants are protected. It also destroys resting structures of pathogens. On seed treatment with Trichostar , it colonizes roots, increases root mass and health, and consequently yield increases, which chemical fungicides applied at reasonable rates cannot do. Trichoderma in Trichostar provides long-term root protection. As a consequence, yields frequently are increased over use of the chemical alone.
 

Dose and application procedure

For seed Treatment
use 5-10 gms of Trichostar/Kg seed , make a slurry in 15-25ml water and get the seeds coated with the paste just before sowing.
FYM: to treat FYM  20 kgs add 1 kg trichostar
Foliar application : 1kg/200 lit water foliar spray
Rhizome/tuber/settTreatment:
Make a solution by using 1 kg Trichostar/100lits water, Dip the setts/tubers that will be required for planting an acre of area. Dry the tubers/setts for a few minutes before planting..
