Product Overview

Trichoderma asperellum and harzianum strains for rhizosphere resilience

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.

Preventive Positioning

Best positioned as a preventive soil and nursery input; most effective when introduced before severe disease development.

Mode of Action

Trichoderma colonises roots, outcompetes pathogens, and stimulates plant defences

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.
