Additional Info

Target Diseases

Trichoderma viride is approved for seed/soil treatment of root rot in pulses (cowpea, mung bean, and urad bean), damping off in chili seedlings, wilting in cowpea, and root rot diseases in sesame and pigeon pea.

Additionally, Trichoderma viride can be used for fungal diseases (seed/soil borne) caused by Pythium spp, Phytophthora spp, Alternaria spp, and similar pathogens that lead to diseases such as root rots, wilts, brown rot, damping off, charcoal rot, and other seed-borne and soil-borne fungal diseases in crops.

Crops

Trichoderma viride is suitable for application on cereals, millets, pulses, oilseeds, fibre crops, sugar crops, forage crops, plantation crops, vegetables, fruits, spices, flowers, medicinal crops, aromatic crops, orchards, and ornamentals.

FAQ

What is Trichoderma viride used for?

Trichoderma viride is used as a biological fungicide for managing seed- and soil-borne fungal diseases. It helps suppress pathogens associated with root rot, damping-off, wilt, brown rot, charcoal rot, and similar diseases caused by fungi such as Pythium, Phytophthora, Fusarium, Rhizoctonia, and Alternaria.

How do I apply Trichoderma to my plants?

Trichoderma viride can be applied in several ways depending on the crop and growth stage. It can be used as a seed treatment, soil application, soil drench, nursery treatment, root dip, or through drip irrigation. For best results, apply it near the seed or root zone where early root colonization is needed.

Can we spray Trichoderma viride on plants?

Trichoderma viride is mainly used for seed, soil, nursery, and root-zone applications because it is most effective when it colonizes the rhizosphere. Foliar spraying should only be done if the product label specifically allows it. For soil-borne diseases, root-zone application is usually the preferred method.

How long does Trichoderma last in soil?

The persistence of Trichoderma viride in soil depends on soil moisture, temperature, organic matter, pH, microbial competition, and crop conditions. Under favourable conditions, it can colonize the root zone and remain active for several weeks to months. Reapplication may be needed depending on crop cycle, disease pressure, and field conditions.

Is Trichoderma mold harmful to humans?

Trichoderma viride is widely used in agriculture as a beneficial biological control fungus and is generally considered safe when handled according to label directions. However, as with any microbial powder or biological product, users should avoid inhaling dust and should prevent contact with eyes, open wounds, and sensitive skin. Wearing gloves, protective clothing, and a dust mask during handling is recommended.

Which crops can Trichoderma viride be used on?

Trichoderma viride can be used on a wide range of crops, including cereals, pulses, oilseeds, vegetables, fruits, plantation crops, spices, flowers, medicinal crops, aromatic crops, orchards, and ornamentals.

Can Trichoderma viride be used through drip irrigation?

Yes. Trichoderma viride can be applied through drip irrigation when properly mixed and filtered. The product should be mixed thoroughly in water, allowed to settle if needed, and the supernatant can be fed through the drip system to deliver the beneficial fungus into the root zone.

Can Trichoderma viride be mixed with fertilizers or pesticides?

Trichoderma viride can generally be used with many organic fertilizers, composts, manures, and some biological inputs. Avoid mixing directly with chemical fungicides unless compatibility has been confirmed. If fungicides are used, keep a suitable application gap to avoid reducing the viability of the beneficial fungus.

What is the shelf life of Trichoderma viride?

The product has a shelf life of 24 months from the date of manufacture when stored properly in a cool, dry place at room temperature.

Is Trichoderma viride suitable for mushroom farming?

No. Trichoderma viride should not be used in mushroom farming because Trichoderma species can cause disease problems in mushroom production systems.

Key Benefits

Biological Control of Soil-Borne Diseases

Trichoderma viride is a beneficial fungus used to suppress seed- and soil-borne fungal pathogens. It helps manage diseases such as root rot, damping-off, wilt, brown rot, charcoal rot, and other fungal infections affecting the root zone.

Protects the Root Zone

By colonizing the rhizosphere, Trichoderma viride helps create a protective biological barrier around roots. This supports healthier root development and reduces disease pressure during early crop establishment.

Multiple Natural Modes of Action

Trichoderma viride works through several biological mechanisms, including competition for space and nutrients, mycoparasitism, production of antifungal metabolites, and stimulation of plant defence responses.

Supports Stronger Plant Growth

Healthy roots are essential for better nutrient and water uptake. By supporting root-zone balance and reducing pathogen pressure, Trichoderma viride helps promote stronger crop establishment, improved vigour, and more resilient plant growth.

Suitable for Seed and Soil Application

Trichoderma viride can be used for seed treatment, soil application, soil drenching, nursery application, root dipping, and drip irrigation, depending on the crop system and application objective.

Useful Across Many Crop Groups

It is suitable for cereals, millets, pulses, oilseeds, fibre crops, sugar crops, forage crops, plantation crops, vegetables, fruits, spices, flowers, medicinal crops, aromatic crops, orchards, and ornamentals.

Eco-Friendly Disease Management

Trichoderma viride supports sustainable agriculture by reducing dependence on conventional chemical fungicides and helping maintain a healthier soil microbial environment.

Dosage & Application

Dosage & Application

Seed treatment: Mix 10g of Trichoderma viride with 10g of crude sugar in sufficient water to make slurry to treat 1 Kg seed. Coat the seed with this slurry so as to have a uniform coating all over the seeds. Dry the seeds in shade for 30 minutes and sow the treated seeds within 24 hours.

Soil application: Mix 5–10Kg Trichoderma viride along with 1Kg of crude sugar in sufficient quantity of organic fertilizer / de oiled cake and incubate at 30% moisture level for 3–4 days and apply to root zone.

Soil drenching, Nursery application, Root dipping: Mix 10g of Trichoderma viride per L of water and use to drench soil/nursery/dip roots.

Drip Irrigation: Mix 3–5Kg Trichoderma viride in 50L of water and mix well. Allow to sediment and decant super natant and feed it through drip irrigation.

Note: Trichoderma viride should not be used in mushroom farming as it causes disease in mushrooms.
