Trichoderma Harzianum

 

Trichoderma harzianum is a fungus used to fight plant diseases. It protects crops by outcompeting harmful pathogens for resources, producing antifungal compounds, and breaking down the cell walls of disease-causing fungi. It also strengthens plant defenses, making them more resistant to infections. It’s applied as a seed treatment, soil additive, or as a spray, it’s effective against problems like root rot and wilt. It also improves plant health by enhancing root development and nutrient absorption. As an eco-friendly alternative to chemical fungicides, it helps maintain strong, resilient crops with limited environmental impact.
