Biota™ is a Trichoderma asperellum wettable powder for biological suppression of soil-borne fungal pathogens in the rhizosphere. It is used in nursery, basal, and root-zone programs to improve root health and reduce early disease pressure.
Biota™-H is a Trichoderma harzianum wettable powder for preventive management of soil-borne pathogens and root-zone stress. It is suited to basal and drench programs where strong rhizosphere colonization and mycoparasitic activity are required.
Fast-growing rhizosphere fungus with mycoparasitic activity.
Produces cell-wall-degrading enzymes against fungal pathogens.
Improves root-zone microbial balance and establishment.
Select T. asperellum or T. harzianum in WP format to match local cropping systems, soil types, and program requirements.
Fast-growing rhizosphere fungus with mycoparasitic activity.
Suppresses pathogens through mycoparasitism and metabolite production.
Promotes a healthier root environment and better establishment.
Best positioned as a preventive soil and nursery input; most effective when introduced before severe disease development.
Trichoderma colonizes the rhizosphere and root surface, competes aggressively for space and nutrients, and parasitizes pathogenic fungi through enzymatic degradation involving chitinases, glucanases, and proteases. It also produces antifungal secondary metabolites and can trigger host defense priming, thereby suppressing soil-borne pathogens and improving root health.
