Mitrasena TRicho is the combination of Trichoderma viride & Trichoderma harzanium, are the potential antagonistic fungus which prevents the crops from diseases viz. Root rots, Wilts, brown rot, damping off, Charcoal rot and other soil born diseases in crops. Mitrasena Tricho  is a filamentous fungus that is widely distributed in the soil, plant material, decaying vegetation, and wood. Trichoderma spp. are fungi, that are present in nearly all soils and other diverse habitats. In soil, they frequently are the most prevalent culturable fungi. . Among their other activities, they grow tropically Toward hyphae of other fungi,  colonies them and finally destroys them, ie they kill the harmful pathogenic fungi in The ecosystem that cause immense damage to some Valuable crops under cultivation in the farmers fields This fungus has enormous properties to control many  Severe and deadly plant.

MECHANISM:

Mitrasena Tricho secrets cellulase and chitinase enzymes which react with cell wall of the disease causative pathogenic fungi or bacteria and dissolve the same.Mitrasena Tricho utilize the protoplasm as a source of food and multiply its spores. By this method the spores of the pathogenic fungi are destroyed. It destroys the fungal pathogens by secreting toxic substances such as Glyotoxin, Viridin and Trichodermin.


ADVANTAGES:

  Pathogens.
*It is also effective against a large number of foliar diseases.
*It is Economical and effective to use in the field
*It is Environment friendly, on toxic and non habit forming to plants
*It is Ideal for organic farming, IPM and export oriented crops.
*It can be used as a seed dressing agent
*It has properties to induce systemic resistance in plants.
*It can colonize the pathogenic host root system.
*It helps the affected plant to grow again naturally and recover fully

Ustilogo tritici   Green house potting mix or soil drench                                 Mix Mitrasena Tricho in sufficient water (500ml/100L) to achieve uniform application Apply at the rate of 50-100  ml per cubic metre (loose) of greenhouse potting mix, soil or planting beds     Mitrasena Tricho  can be applied through low pressure watering nozzles such as fan nozzles or other watering systems (drip system) after filtering with filters. Agitate to maintain suspension. For best effect, treat potting mix several days before use for seeding or transplants     For bulbs & Ornamental Dip bulbs in Mitrasena Tricho  suspension        (50 ml/L) prior to planting      Seed dressing: Mitrasena Tricho @ 4 ml per Kg of seeds can be used along with the appropriate stickers/wetting agents to coat the seeds.    2-3 applications in vegetables ornamentals and 4-5 applications in lawns and landscape crops are recommended. However, the frequency of applications also depends on the degree of diseases infestation. In the case of high infestation multiple applications are recommended. Applications during early stages of plant growth protect the plant during critical stages of development, translating into better performance and yield
