How does it work?
- Competition – TRICHOTECH® WP is a fast-growing fungus that easily out-competes soil pathogens, promoting niche exclusion of potential harmful microbes, and providing a barrier to combat disease-causing fungi.
- Antibiosis – TRICHOTECH® WP produces chemical metabolites, which inhibit various developmental stages of plant disease-causing fungi.
- Mycoparasitism – TRICHOTECH® WP produces enzymes that enable the fungus to invade and parasitise plant pathogenic fungi.
- Growth promotion – TRICHOTECH® WP increases plant growth vigour by releasing locked nutrients from decaying organic matter, supplying nutrients to plant roots.
TRICHOTECH® has good synergy with other soil-beneficial organisms such as MYTECH®.
