Buy Trichoderma Biofungicide for Paddy – Control Sheath Blight and Stem Rot
Share
Palakkad’s paddy fields – the rice bowl of Kerala – face serious threats from sheath blight (Rhizoctonia solani) and stem rot (Sclerotium oryzae) . These fungal diseases cause brown lesions on leaf sheaths, lodging, and yield losses of 20‑50%. Chemical fungicides are expensive and repeated use leads to resistance.
Trichoderma biofungicide seed treatment is your cheapest and most effective defence.
What the research says: Studies have identified Trichoderma asperellum as a highly effective isolate against both R. solani and S. oryzae. The KAU Agri Infotech Portal recommends seed treatment with Trichoderma harzianum at 10g per kg of seed for integrated disease management in rice.
How to apply Trichoderma biofungicide for paddy (per acre):
Seed treatment (most important step):
-
Take 100g of Bactostore’s Trichoderma powder (or 100 ml liquid)
-
Mix with enough water to coat 10 kg of paddy seeds
-
Stir until seeds are evenly coated
-
Shade dry for 30 minutes before sowing
Soil application (for fields with a known history of sheath blight):
-
Mix 1‑2 kg of Trichoderma powder with 100‑200 kg well‑decomposed FYM per acre
-
Broadcast during the last ploughing and incorporate into soil
For stem rot control during crop growth:
-
Mix 5g of Trichoderma powder in 1 litre of water
-
Drench the base of affected plants where stem rot lesions appear
Why this works for Palakkad paddy: Trichoderma colonises the seed surface and later the root zone, creating a protective shield against Rhizoctonia and Sclerotium.
