TRIDENT is a biological fungicide based on a beneficial antagonistic fungus, Trichoderma viride. The product contains the conidial spore and the mycelial fragments at 2 x 106 CFU’s/gm and /ml of the product.
Benefits:
TRIDENT is an eco-friendly and non-toxic product. It is safe to the beneficial microbes in the rhizosphere. It increases resistance in the plant system against diseases. It does not create resistance, resurgence or residue problem and is an ‘organic certified’ product.
Mode of Action:
TRIDENT can control the pathogens through different modes of action.
Substrate competition: TRIDENT controls pathogens by creating competition for substrate and nutrients.
Mycoparasitism: It grows fast and coils around the pathogen, then penetrates through it and takes the nutrients from the pathogen. The pathogen eventually dies and is finally eliminated from the field.
Antibiosis: It offers a long-lasting control against the pathogen by secreting secondary metabolites which exhibit an antibiosis effect on the pathogen.
