Storage of the product<\/strong><\/p>\n

It retains its quality for at least 18 months when stored in its original packaging at temperatures between 5 and 30 \u00b0C. Once opened, it should be used as soon as possible; however, if tightly resealed and stored in a cool, frost-free place, it can be used for up to 6 months without any loss of quality.<\/p>\n

Tudtad, hogy ezen Trichoderma<\/em> t\u00f6rzseket a Debreceni Egyetem kutat\u00f3i, Prof. Dr. Karaffa Erzs\u00e9bet \u00e9s Dr. Kov\u00e1cs Csilla fejlesztette ki? A kutat\u00e1st 2015-ben kezdt\u00e9k a Tokaji Borr\u00e9gi\u00f3ban.<\/span><\/p>\n

It is important to note that there are two types of Trichoderma<\/em> It contains varieties that have been protected and patented in Hungary. These varieties are the Trichoderma afroharzianum<\/em> (TR04) and the Trichoderma simmonsii<\/em> (TR05).\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

\ud83d\udc9a Trichoderma<\/em> These are fast-growing fungi that produce aerial mycelium. Their spores are scattered across the culture medium or arranged in concentric circles, forming greenish colonies (Figures 1\u20132). When grown on PDA Agron, the TR05 isolate produced a yellow pigment that diffused into the culture medium. The TR05 isolate is characterised by a strong ability to produce pigment. Both isolates produce dark green conidia.<\/p>\n

\ud83d\udc9a\u00a0Trichoderma<\/em> species have been known since the 1930s and are considered potential biopesticides, with some strains being used against plant pathogens. Their rapid growth displaces pathogens from the plant environment (space parasitism). As microparasitic fungi, they can destroy hyphae of other fungi (e.g. plant pathogens)<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Experimental results<\/strong><\/p>\n

Our strains were able to colonise the cordon of older plants, the cuttings (both rootstock and rootstock), the roots and the whole woody\/soft plant tissue after root treatment in field experiments with different applications. In vivo experiments have demonstrated that the strains are able to persist in many crops (apple, grapes, field crops) and can be re-isolated later.<\/p>\n

We have shown that grapevines treated with strains showing symptoms of Grapevine Trunk Disease (GTD) showed a reduction of the characteristic symptoms of the disease on the vegetative organs, i.e. the treatment was curative. This effect is supported by our study in which we also detected necrotic woody tissue of treated grapevines of different varieties containing pathogenic fungi, which were also strains used in the treatment. Our strains are able to displace pathogenic fungi not only on the surface, on the surface of pruning wounds, but also inside the woody tissue. Trichoderma treatment can provide long-term symptom management, killing and control of pathogenic species.<\/p>\n

\ud83c\udf31 How does it work?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Tricho Immune fungus needs 24-48 hours to penetrate the plant, which is a good time if there is no persistent, soaking rain. The penetration into the plant can be accelerated if it is applied together with some organic material, e.g. algae (Kelpak or Asco Algae).<\/div>\n

 <\/p>\n

\ud83d\udce6 Storage after disassembly\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

It is important that the temperature does not exceed 20 \u00b0C and that the contents are not damp or wet, as the spores will then start to germinate. (In other words, the fridge isn\u2019t the best option, as the humidity is too high.) We recommend using a well-sealing preserving jar that is large enough to hold the opened bag. Alternatively, seal it with a paper clip or a bag clip.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u2728 Detailed description<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Hungarian-developed Trichoderma<\/em> Mushrooms are the latest game-changer in renewable and sustainable gardening. They protect not only against stress factors, but also against fungal pathogens. You could even call it a newly developed \u2018superweapon\u2019 for plant protection. But it doesn\u2019t just aid plant protection; it also stimulates plant growth, which speeds up crop yield.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Tricho Immun should be applied as soon as possible, ideally at the time of pruning, but no later than before flowering. It takes a few hours for it to be absorbed by the plant and then a few weeks for it to spread throughout the plant. After all, by the time flowering begins, we need to ensure that our plant is fully protected, as this is when it is at its most vulnerable.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\ud83c\udf47 The vine and Trichoderma<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Tricho Immune large-scale<\/strong> The dosage is 1 kg\/ha. This means that professional grape and fruit growers apply 1 kg per 10,000 m\u00b2.<\/p>\n

Pruning<\/strong> as soon as possible and\/or when the grapes are in leaf, start treating the grapes to prevent fungal diseases with the following recipe: 50 g Tricho Immun + 2 dl Asco Alga<\/a>\/ in a 10-15 litre backpack sprayer. Tricho Imun needs a wound surface or green canopy to penetrate tissues, and the organic matter content of Asco Alga helps it stay on the canopy and penetrate through stomata. As Tricho Immun is available in 100g packs, we recommend repeating the treatment once more before flowering.<\/p>\n

Any unused quantity should be stored tightly sealed in the fridge and used within 3 months. For maximum protection, I would start from berrying SoftGuard<\/a>-os kezel\u00e9st 2 dl\/ 10-15 liter v\u00edz mennyis\u00e9gben 7-12 naponta ism\u00e9telve.<\/p>\n

\ud83d\udc69\u200d\ud83d\udd2c Scientific research: the effectiveness of Trichoderma in grapes<\/strong><\/p>\n

Our regional representative visited the Kecskem\u00e9t Research Institute to observe the Trichoderma<\/em> the beneficial effects of the fungus on grapevines. Powdery mildew was the predominant infection in the greenhouse under study. Whilst some downy mildew was also observed outdoors, when Tricho Immun and the SoftGuard<\/a> our products have been used preventively, both have performed very well.<\/p>\n

Discharge tip: After about two weeks of Tricho Immune treatment, the SoftGuardot<\/a> it provides effective protection for the plants.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\ud83c\udf31 Practical advice, Tricho Immune to the lawn:<\/strong><\/p>\n

It is important that the Tricho Immune does not run off the green leaves onto the soil, as the product is absorbed through the plant.<\/p>\n

That is, if the lawn is very wet then Tricho Immune can run off, if it's just barely wet then it's not a problem.<\/p>\n

Ideally, the water should wash the dust and other impurities from the lawn leaves, and then Tricho Immune is applied to the \"clean\" leaves.<\/p>\n

It is also recommended to add Tricho Immune\u00a0Asco Algae<\/strong>\u00a0<\/a>also, at a spray dose of 2dl per 10 litres of spray to feed and strengthen the lawn organically.<\/p>\n

\ud83c\udf33 For green foliage<\/strong><\/p>\n

As part of our ideal plant protection strategy, especially if there is currently sufficient green canopy available to take up the active ingredient, we strongly recommend the use of Tricho Immune at a dose of 1 kg\/ha. As a supplement to this treatment we recommend Asco Alga<\/a> product at a dose of 1 l\/ha, which has several advantages:<\/p>\n
