Trichoderma harzianum strain T78

Trichoderma harzianum T78 is a specific strain of beneficial soil fungus widely utilized as a core component in biological crop protection. As a biofungicide, it serves as a natural alternative to synthetic chemical treatments, promoting root health and suppressing pathogenic fungal populations in the rhizosphere.

The mode of action of this strain involves three primary mechanisms: competitive colonization, secretion of extracellular enzymes (cellulases and chitinases) that degrade fungal cell walls, and the production of specific volatile organic compounds that inhibit the growth and germination of competitive phytopathogenic fungi.

This product is highly recommended for use on various vegetables, cereals, and ornamental plants to manage diseases such as Fusarium wilt, Pythium damping-off, and Rhizoctonia root rot. It is typically applied through seed treatments, soil drenching during transplanting, or via irrigation systems, ensuring a protective barrier around the root zone.

For optimal results, users must ensure appropriate soil moisture and moderate temperatures, as the survival and propagation of the fungus depend on these environmental factors.

• Avoid mixing with harsh chemical fungicides during application.
• Ensure the product is applied in moist conditions.
• Use consistent application intervals for sustained protection.

When handling the product, standard safety precautions for bio-products are advised. Users should avoid direct contact with eyes and inhalation of dust. Store in a cool, dry place away from UV light to maintain the viability of the fungal spores, ensuring the product remains effective until the expiration date.
