Key Features & Benefits

Natural Disease Suppression: Inhibits the growth of pathogenic fungi and harmful soil microorganisms responsible for crop damage.
Plant Growth Promotion: Enhances root growth, nutrient uptake, and overall plant vigor for better yield.
Rapid Soil Colonization: High spore count ensures quick colonization of the rhizosphere, creating a protective barrier around plant roots.
Eco-Friendly Protection: 100% biological, residue-free, and safe for soil, environment, and beneficial microbes.
Continuous Root Protection: Maintains effective protection throughout the crop’s growth cycle.

Mode of Action

Trichoderma harzianum acts as a biological antagonist that colonizes the root zone and competes with plant pathogens for nutrients and space. It releases enzymes and metabolites that inhibit the growth of disease-causing fungi, effectively preventing infection and promoting healthier root systems.
