Description

Biopesticide for controlling pathogenic fungi of rice plants formulated as dispersible granules (WG) based on the fungus Trichoderma koningiopsis Th003, with a concentration of 1x109 conidia/g. Its main attribute is to be an efficient alternative to implement integrated crop management strategies, contributing to effective and sustainable management.

Additionally, the Th003 strain has the ability to promote plant growth, stimulating the development of roots and the aerial part of the plants. It produces enzymes such as cellulases, glucanases, and chitinases, which are related to the degradation of the cell wall of phytopathogenic fungi during mycoparasitism processes. Th003 has endophytic capacity, i.e., it can colonize and live in plant tissues without causing harm, establish a symbiotic relationship of mutual benefit, induce defense responses in the plant, or promote plant growth.

Among the benefits of using this product are: Broad spectrum of action against phytopathogens in rice crops, shows efficacy of 31 to 60% for the control of pathogens, useful life of 19 months under refrigeration conditions, toxicology category IV (slightly toxic), plant growth promotion, suitable for foliar and soil application, increases plant resistance to other pathogens (induced systemic resistance - ISR), and compatible in rotation with quickly disintegrating chemically synthesized insecticides and fungicides upon tank mix. TRICOTEC® wets and suspends rapidly and homogeneously.

TRICOTEC® WG is registered to control R. solani (causing sheath blight) in rice cultivation.
