Trichodermin: instructions for use and composition, dosage and analogues

Crop protection biologicals can suppress pathogens found in the soil, on plant seeds and roots. They also prevent the development of leaf and fruit diseases after the application of the solution to the surface. Consider the composition and scope of "Trichodermin", the principle of action and instructions for use. What drugs can it be combined with, what is allowed to replace it and how should it be stored.

Description and scope of use

"Trichodermin" is a completely biological preparation, consisting of mushrooms of a certain type. The principle of action is based on the fact that fungi develop on the mycelium of pathogenic fungi and plant residues, in which there is a lot of cellulose.Trichoderma mycelium is white at the beginning of its development, then turns green. Best of all, the fungus develops at a temperature of 24-25 ° C, the minimum for it is 8 ° C, the maximum is -32 ° C.

After seed treatment with "Trichodermin" or its introduction into the ground, fungi begin to develop on the roots of plants, because of this their absorption capacity increases, they create a bio-barrier for pathogens, compete with them for food and suppress their development by substances that produce.

The effectiveness of "Trichodermin" does not depend on the type of soil, acidity and humus level. Fungi are able to develop not only on treated seeds, but also after being applied to the soil surface in the form of granules, after being applied during plowing and loosening. You can add the drug to soil mixtures for greenhouses, to the soil when planting.

The number of viable Trichoderma fungi persists throughout the season. Due to the suppression of pathogens, the growth of the root system and the aerial part of crops is accelerated, resistance to infections is increased, and yields are increased.

Composition and release form

"Trichodermin" is a biological product of fungicidal action, which is based on fungi of the species Trichoderma harzianum (strain 18 VIZR and VKM F-4099D). They produce products in different formulations, which depend on the strain, the nutrient medium used, the titer of the drug and the method of cultivation.

Instructions for use

For the treatment of potato bushes during the growing season, dilute 20 g of the product per 5 liters of water (50-100 ml of concentrate per 10 liters), this volume is spent per hundred square meters. Vegetables, root crops, greens, flowers and ornamental crops are sprayed with a solution of 20 g of fungicide per 5 l (per 1 weave). For soaking 10 kg of seeds, prepare a solution of 20 g per 1.5 l of water, for soaking seedling roots - 20 g per 5 l (for 100 seedlings).

For legumes, sunflower and corn, the solution is prepared in a different concentration: 20 g per 10 l (or 100 ml per 10 l) and spend it on 2 acres.For spraying 1 weave of fruit, grapes and berry bushes, a liquid is prepared from 20 g per 5 l (or 50-100 ml per 10 l). For processing 100 seedlings - 20 g per 3 liters of water.

"Trichodermin" can be used for soil cultivation in spring (to suppress pathogenic microflora and develop beneficial ones) and in autumn (to improve the soil, accelerate the formation of humus and the decomposition of plant residues). Application rate: 20 g per 10 liters (100 ml per 10 liters), consumption per hundred square meters.

How to properly prepare the solution: dissolve the powder in 2 liters. be sure to warm, settled water, stir and leave in a dark place for 1-2 hours, so that the activation of the fungus occurs. Then add water to the required volume.

If Trichodermin concentrate is used, then the entire volume is mixed immediately with water before spraying. Saplings and seeds are processed in partial shade or shade so that the rays of the sun do not fall on them.

Processing should be carried out at an air temperature of more than 8 ° C, on a cloudy day. Use the solution completely within 6 hours after preparation.

Safety precautions

"Trichodermin" is completely safe for humans, does not contain any toxic substances. Does not harm plants, animals, insects and soil, does not accumulate in it. Does not impair the taste of fruits and vegetables.

To work with the fungicide, it is enough to wear gloves and a respirator. Drug poisoning is extremely rare. After finishing work, wash your hands and face, wash off the solution from the skin if it gets on parts of the body.

Drug compatibility

Biofungicide can be mixed with other drugs of similar action, with the exception of Mikosan. If you mix it and apply it together with "Fitosporin", "Phytodoctor", "Adumax", "Gaupsin" and "Liposam", the overall effectiveness of the funds will increase.

Trichodermin should not be mixed with mineral fertilizers, protectants and synthetic fungicides.

Terms and rules of storage

"Trichodermin" in an undiluted state is stored for 2 years. Be sure to keep it in its original packaging, closed and undamaged. Observe storage conditions: at positive temperature (do not allow freezing), in a dry and dark place. Do not store near chemical pesticides and fertilizers.

After the expiration of the storage time, the drug "Trichodermin" is not recommended to be used, it loses its properties. Store the solution for no more than 6 hours.

Analogues of "Trichodermin"

Fungicide can be replaced with biologics based on Trichoderma harzianum. For agriculture: "Trichocin", "Gliocladin" in various formulations and "Sternifag". In private households, you can use Trichocin and Gliocladin.

"Trichodermin" is a biofungicide known to many gardeners. It is easy to use, used to prevent the appearance of fungal infections in plants in the garden and garden, to treat them if they are in an unopened form. Differs in low consumption rate, at the same time high efficiency. Works at positive temperatures, the action does not depend on the type of soil and variety of crops. Completely safe for processed plants and the environment.
