Trichoderma viride is a beneficial rhizosphere fungus that swiftly colonizes roots to form a protective microbial barrier, outcompeting harmful fungi while enhancing root architecture and nutrient uptake. By producing cell wall–degrading enzymes and bioactive metabolites and exhibiting mycoparasitism, it suppresses a broad range of soil-borne pathogens and activates plant defense mechanisms. The result is healthier roots, improved stress tolerance, and stronger crop establishment, vigor, and yield.
Mode of Action
- Colonizes the rhizosphere rapidly and establishes itself around plant roots, forming a protective microbial barrier.
- Competes aggressively with harmful fungi for space and nutrients, limiting their establishment and spread.
- Produces a wide range of extracellular enzymes such as chitinases and glucanases that degrade fungal cell walls.
- Exhibits mycoparasitic behavior by attaching to pathogenic fungi, coiling around their hyphae, and penetrating them.
- Secretes secondary metabolites and volatile compounds that inhibit the growth of soil-borne pathogens
- Enhances root development and nutrient uptake by improving root architecture and stimulating plant growth
- Activates plant defense mechanisms, leading to increased resistance against stress and disease pressure.
- Improves overall soil microbial balance by promoting beneficial microflora in the root zone.
Expected Results
- Improved root health with reduced incidence of soil-borne diseases in the rhizosphere
- Enhanced plant vigor and stronger root system leading to better nutrient uptake.
- Increased tolerance of plants to environmental and biological stress conditions.
- Overall improvement in crop growth, establishment, and yield performance.

Dosage & Application
- Recommended Dosage: 1 Liter for 2 Acres
- Drip Application: Mix 500 ml per acre with sufficient water and apply through the drip irrigation system.
- Soil Drenching: Dilute 500 ml per acre in 150–200 liters of water and drench uniformly around the root zone.
- Soil Application: Mix 500 ml per acre with well-decomposed FYM/compost and apply uniformly to the soil/root zone.
- Best Application: Apply preventively or during early stages of soil/root fungal disease pressure. Maintain adequate soil moisture after application.
- Note: Avoid tank mixing with chemical fungicides. Maintain a suitable interval between chemical fungicide treatment and Trichoderma viride application.
