Quick Wilt of Black Pepper – Buy Trichoderma Powder Online

Idukki’s “Black Gold” – pepper – is under severe threat from Quick Wilt disease (Phytophthora capsici). It attacks roots, stems and leaves, causing entire vines to collapse within days. In some pepper‑growing areas, wilt incidence has reached 10–45%.

Research shows that native strains of Trichoderma asperellum can reduce quick wilt by over 80% – performing as well as chemical fungicides. And it is completely organic.

How to use Bactostore Trichoderma powder on pepper:

  • Soil application: Mix 1 kg of Bactostore’s Trichoderma powder with 50 kg well‑decomposed farmyard manure or cow dung. Apply this mixture around the base of each pepper vine. Repeat every 4 months.

  • For active wilt: Make a slurry – mix 100 g powder in 10 litres of water. Drench the root zone of the affected vine. Reapply after 15 days if needed.

Bactostore ships Trichoderma powder (1 kg, 5 kg packs) same‑day for orders placed before 1 PM.
