Chaetomium cupreum

Chaetomium cupreum is a filamentous ascomycete fungus known for its biocontrol and biodegradation capabilities. It suppresses plant pathogens like Fusarium through antifungal metabolites and contributes to organic matter recycling via lignocellulose degradation. Its production of hydrolytic enzymes highlights its potential in sustainable agriculture and industrial biotechnology.

Benefits

Organic Matter Decomposition

Facilitates the decomposition of organic matter in the soil, enhancing nutrient availability for plants and improving soil structure.

Induced Systemic Resistance (ISR)

Induces systemic resistance in plants against pathogens, thereby reducing the need for chemical pesticides and promoting sustainable farming.

Disease Suppression

Effectively suppresses diseases like damping-off and root rot in various crops, contributing to improved plant health and yield.

Biocontrol Agent

Chaetomium cupreum acts as a biocontrol agent, inhibiting the growth of plant pathogens such as Fusarium and Rhizoctonia through antagonistic mechanisms.

Soil Application Method

Mix at recommended doses with compost and apply at early life stages of crop along with other biofertilizers.
Mix Chaetomium Cupreum at recommended doses in sufficient water and drench soil at early leaf stage / 2-4 leaf stage / early crop life cycle.
Drip Irrigation: If there are insoluble particles, filter the solution and add to drip tank.
For long duration crops / Perennial / Orchard crops: Dissolve Chaetomium Cupreum at recommended doses in sufficient water and apply as a drenching spray near the root zone twice a year. It is recommended to have the first application before the onset of the main monsoon / rainfall / spring season and the second application after the main monsoon / rainfall / autumn / fall season.

Foliar Application Method

Foliar application to be done at early disease incidence. 1-2 follow-up sprays to be done at weekly intervals.
Mix Chaetomium Cupreum at recommended doses in sufficient water and spray on foliage. Apply twice a year for long duration crops. It is recommended to have the first application before the onset of the main monsoon / rainfall / spring season and the second application after the main monsoon / rainfall / autumn / fall season.

Note: Do not store Chaetomium Cupreum solution for more than 24 hours after mixing in water.
