Trichoderma Viride Powder (250g) – Organic Bio-Fungicide for Complete Plant & Soil Disease Protection

Protect your crops, nursery seedlings, and garden plants with Trichoderma Viride Powder (250g), an eco-friendly biological control agent designed to eradicate destructive soil-borne and foliar fungal pathogens. Formulated for agricultural conditions across Nepal, this organic bio-fungicide acts as a protective shield around root systems. It destroys harmful fungal spores while restoring natural soil fertility and boosting root development.

Key Features & Agricultural Benefits

• Comprehensive Dual-Action Protection: Controls both underground root diseases (soil-borne) and aerial fungal infections on foliage.

• Eliminates Destructive Plant Pathogens: Highly effective against fungal strains such as Fusarium, Pythium, Rhizoctonia, and Phytophthora.

• Stops Seedling Loss: Prevents Damping-Off (Dhaduwa), ensuring high survival rates for transplanted vegetable seedlings.

• Prevents Vascular Wilt & Rot: Eliminates Root Rot (Sera/Ukherne Rog), Collar Rot, and Stem Rot in crops.

• Enhances Nutrient Uptake: Secretes natural enzymes that break down organic matter in soil, allowing plant roots to absorb micro-nutrients more efficiently.

• 100% Residue-Free & Eco-Friendly: Safe for beneficial soil organisms, earthworms, pets, and humans. Ideal for certified organic farming, commercial greenhouses, rooftop gardening, and home potted plants.

How Trichoderma Viride Works

Trichoderma Viride is a beneficial biological fungus that protects crops through three natural mechanisms:

1. Mycoparasitism: It physically attaches to harmful fungal pathogens, secreting chitinase and glucanase enzymes that digest the cell walls of disease-causing fungi.

2. Competitive Exclusion: Rapidly colonizes the plant root zone (rhizosphere), starving harmful soil fungi of space and vital nutrients.

3. Induced Systemic Resistance (ISR): Triggers the internal defense mechanisms of the plant, making crops more resilient against environmental stress and external infections.

Recommended Application Methods & Dosage

1. Soil Enrichment & Compost Mixing (Best for Fields & Beds)

• Dosage: Mix 250g of Trichoderma Powder with 25kg to 50kg of moist farmyard manure (Gobar Khad), vermicompost, or organic soil amendments.

• Method: Cover the mixture with a damp cloth or plastic sheet and leave it in a shaded area for 4 to 7 days. Once white fungal threads develop, broadcast the enriched compost over the soil before sowing or transplanting.

2. Seed Treatment (For Early Disease Protection)

• Dosage: 5g–10g of powder per 1kg of seeds.

• Method: Moisten the seeds slightly with clean water or a light sugar solution, mix evenly with Trichoderma powder to ensure a thin coating, and dry under shade for 30 minutes prior to sowing.

3. Soil Drenching & Root Dip

• Soil Drenching: Dissolve 5g of powder per 1 Liter of non-chlorinated water (or 250g per 50 Liters). Pour directly near the root zone of affected or young plants.

• Root Dipping: Dissolve 10g per Liter of water. Dip the seedling roots into the suspension for 10–15 minutes right before transplanting into field beds or pots.

Real-Life Agricultural Example

Scenario: During the monsoon season, tomato and chili seedlings frequently collapse and rot near the soil line due to Damping-Off caused by wet soil conditions.

Solution: Drenching the seedbeds with a Trichoderma Viride solution immediately upon transplanting stops the spread of fungal spores in the soil. Within a few days, healthy white roots continue to establish without chemical shock, preserving crop yields without leave-behind toxic chemical residues.

Important Usage Precautions

• Do Not Mix With Chemical Fungicides: Avoid applying synthetic chemical fungicides or bactericides 7 days before or after applying Trichoderma Viride.

• Moisture Requirements: Ensure the soil remains adequately moist after application to allow biological spore growth.

• Water Quality: Avoid using heavily chlorinated tap water; use well water or allow tap water to sit uncovered for 24 hours before mixing.
