Trichodermin-bio

Bio-shield for soil-borne pathogens

«Trichodermin-bio» by the Cherkasy IAPV is a specialized biological tool designed for professional farmers transitioning to organic practices or seeking to reduce chemical dependency. The core of this product is the antagonist fungus Trichoderma lignorum, which competes with pathogens, effectively suppressing them in the rhizosphere by consuming their mycelium and secreting natural antibiotics.

Why choose this specific strain?

• Precision Targeting: Unlike broad-spectrum chemical fungicides, this product acts as a surgical tool against fusarium, root rots, white/gray mold, and anthracnose.
• Root Stimulation: Beyond protection, the fungus promotes root development, a critical factor for soybean and cereal crops during early vegetation stages.
• Local R&D: Developed by the Cherkasy Research Center, this strain is uniquely adapted to local soil conditions, outperforming generic international alternatives in stability.

Strengths and Operational Nuances

Strengths: Exceptional efficacy against soil-borne infections and alternaria. Safe for pollinators and beneficial insects, making it ideal for greenhouses and intensive vegetable production.

Weaknesses: As a living biological agent, it is sensitive to UV light and heat. Furthermore, it is incompatible with most chemical fungicides; tank-mixing them will kill the beneficial microbes, rendering the application useless.

This suspension is an optimal choice for No-Till or Strip-Till farms where plant residue management and disease accumulation are key challenges. It provides a sustainable path to restoring soil biological balance and ensuring plant health from the moment of seeding.
