DSC LAB TRICHODERMA

ZAR 350.00

Dynamic colonizer and endophyte of root systems
Increase depth of rooting and water holding capacity
Induce resistance to biotic and abiotic stresses

Mode of action: The mechanism of growth stimulation by Trichoderma involves a multilevel root-shoot communication. The phytostimulation effect of Trichoderma applications has been attributed to several direct and indirect effects on plants, including the release of substances with auxin activity, small peptides as well as volatile organic compounds, which improve root system architecture (total root length, density and branching) and assimilation/solubilisation of macronutrients (P) and micronutrients (Fe, Mn and Zn), thus boosting plant growth and crop productivity.

Special attributes: T. harzianum T22 is a rhizosphere competent strain (i.e., able to colonize and grow with root systems of most plants). When applied as a seed or soil treatment, it will colonize the entire root system of most plants and increase the depth of rooting even when plants are fully mature. This occurs across many soil types and pH levels and results in a variety of beneficial effects. Proteomic data confirmed that T. harzianum T22 increases photosynthetic and respiration rates while inducing resistance to biotic and abiotic stresses (Harman, 2015).

What makes this product unique? The interaction of T. harzianum T22 with plants may increase the nitrogen use efficiency, resulting in reduced application of N-fertilizer.
