Green Soil (Trichoderma harzianum G8) use in Potato crop


Green Soil (Trichoderma harzianum) is a fungus that has gained significant popularity in recent years as a biocontrol agent in agriculture, particularly for its beneficial effects on potato crops. Here's a breakdown of its potential uses:

Disease Control:

  • Fungal diseases: Trichoderma harzianum acts as a natural antagonist against various fungal pathogens that threaten potatoes, including:
    • Late blight: This devastating disease can be effectively controlled by applying T. harzianum as a seed treatment, soil drench, or foliar spray. Studies have shown significant yield increases compared to untreated crops.
    • Early blight: T. harzianum offers similar protection against early blight, reducing both disease severity and the need for chemical fungicides.
    • Sclerotium rolfsii: This soilborne fungus causes stem rot in potatoes. T. harzianum can effectively suppress its growth and protect potato plants.
    • Common scab: This bacterial disease can be indirectly controlled by T. harzianum, which promotes beneficial bacteria in the rhizosphere that compete with the scab pathogen.

Plant Growth Promotion:

  • Root development: T. harzianum colonizes potato roots, stimulating the growth of beneficial root hairs and increasing nutrient uptake. This leads to a healthier root system and enhances overall plant development.
  • Stress tolerance: T. harzianum can help potato plants cope with abiotic stresses like drought, salinity, and temperature fluctuations. This translates to improved yield and quality even under challenging conditions.
  • Nutrient availability: T. harzianum produces enzymes that solubilize phosphorus and other minerals, making them more accessible to the potato plant. This can reduce the need for chemical fertilizers.

Application Methods:

  • Seed treatment: Coating potato seeds with T. harzianum spores before planting provides early protection against soilborne pathogens.
  • Soil drench: Applying a T. harzianum suspension directly to the soil colonizes the root zone and offers long-term disease control.

Green Soil (Trichoderma harzianum G8) use in Cotton Cash Crop

Image
  Green Soil (Trichoderma harzianum G8) can be a valuable tool for promoting healthy cotton crops in several ways: Disease control: Biocontrol agent:  T. harzianum naturally fights off several fungal pathogens that harm cotton, like Rhizoctonia solani, Fusarium oxysporum, and Verticillium dahliae. It colonizes the cotton rhizosphere, directly parasitizing and competing with these harmful fungi, reducing disease incidence and severity. Disease suppression:  T. harzianum produces enzymes and antibiotic compounds that inhibit the growth and reproduction of harmful fungi. This creates a generally suppressive environment in the soil, making it less hospitable for pathogens to thrive. Plant growth promotion: Nutrient mobilization:  T. harzianum breaks down organic matter in the soil, releasing nutrients like phosphorus and nitrogen that cotton plants readily absorb. This can improve plant growth and vigor,...

Green Soil (Trichoderma harzianum G8) use in Onion crop

Image
  Green Soil (Trichoderma harzianum) is a beneficial fungus that shows great potential for use in onion crops, particularly for its ability to combat fungal diseases and promote plant growth. Here's a breakdown of its various applications: Disease Control: Basal rot:  This devastating disease caused by Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. cepae is effectively controlled by T. harzianum. Studies have shown that seed treatment with T. harzianum significantly reduces disease incidence and increases onion yield compared to using traditional fungicides. Other fungal diseases : T. harzianum also exhibits activity against other fungal pathogens affecting onions, such as Fusarium proliferatum (causing bulb rot) and Botrytis cinerea (causing neck rot). Plant Growth Promotion: Root development:  T. harzianum colonizes onion roots, stimulating increased root growth and nutrient uptak...

Green Soil (Trichoderma harzianum G8) Bio-Fertilizer & Bio-Fungicide: Transforming a New Agriculture Technology in Pakistan's Agriculture

Image
Green Soil (Trichoderma harzianum G8) are among the most commonly and widely used microbial biological control agents (MBCAs) in agriculture. They are presently marketed as bio-pesticides, biofertilizers, growth enhancers and stimulants of natural resistance. The efficacy of this fungus can be attributed to their ability to protect plants, enhance vegetative growth and contain pathogen populations under numerous agricultural conditions, as well as to act as soil amendments/inoculants for improvement of nutrient ability, decomposition and biodegradation. The living fungal spores (active substance) are incorporated in various formulations, both traditional and innovative, for applications as foliar sprays, pre-planting applications to seed or propagation material, post-pruning treatments, incorporation in the soil during seeding or transplant, watering by irrigation or applied as a root drench or dip. Green Soil (Trichoderma harzianum G8) based preparations are used for crop pro...
