Dextrose Based Trichoderma Viride Powder Formulation (Water Soluble) 2 × 10⁸ CFU/g

Technical Information

Trichoderma viride is a beneficial soil fungus used as a bio-fungicide and plant growth promoter. It colonizes plant roots, suppresses pathogenic fungi through competition and antibiosis, and enhances nutrient uptake. Formulated at 2 × 10⁸ CFU/g on a talc carrier, it offers chemical-free disease management and soil health improvement.
