Buy Trichoderma for Black Pepper – Control Quick Wilt and Foot Rot

Kozhikode’s black pepper is famous, but quick wilt (foot rot) caused by Phytophthora capsici is a constant threat. The pathogen attacks roots, collar region, and leaves. Infected vines show sudden yellowing and drooping, and the entire vine can collapse within days. The fungus survives in soil for years. Chemical fungicides often fail because Phytophthora develops resistance.

Trichoderma is the proven organic solution.

How to apply Trichoderma on black pepper:

Preventive soil application (twice a year):

  • Take 200‑250g of Bactostore’s Trichoderma powder per vine

  • Mix with 20‑25 kg of well‑decomposed FYM

  • Apply in the basin around the vine (15‑20 cm from the trunk)

  • Cover lightly with soil

  • Apply in April‑May (pre‑monsoon) and September‑October (post‑monsoon)

For active quick wilt (emergency treatment):

  • Soil drench: Mix 20g of Trichoderma powder in 10 litres of water per vine. Drench the root zone thoroughly. Repeat after 15 days.

  • Foliar spray: Mix 2‑5 ml of Trichoderma liquid (or 5g powder) in 1 litre of water. Spray on leaves, stems, and spikes every 10‑15 days.

Root dip for young pepper cuttings (before planting):

  • Mix 10g of powder in 1 litre of water

  • Dip the roots for 10 minutes before planting
