Ferticell Bact Trichoderma Viride

Trichoderma viride is a biological fungicide based on a selected strain of naturally-occurring beneficial soil fungus Trichoderma viride (TNAU Strain) that protects crops from several diseases caused by seed borne and soil borne fungal pathogens like Rhizoctonia spp , Pythium spp , Fusarium spp and Alternaria spp. It is used as an effective seed dressing and soil treatment product to combat seed and soil borne fungal diseases.

Trichoderma viride contains spores and mycelial fragments of Trichoderma viride. It is formulated as Wettable Powder with CFU count of 2 X 10 ^ 6 / g.

Trichoderma viride is approved for use in Organic agriculture— Trichoderma viride (eventually renamed Trichoderma reesei). Mode of Action Substrate Competition for space and Nutrients: Trichoderma viride 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

Mycoparasitism: Trichoderma viride is like a prophylactic biological fungicide that attacks disease-causing pathogens before they reach the root system. It grows fast and coils around the pathogen and penetrates through it. It derives nutrition from the target pathogenic fungus protoplasm and Trichoderma viride spores multiply inside target pathogenic fungus body and eventually kill it.
