For many gardeners and vegetable growers, Trichoderma is a miracle cure that comes to the rescue in the fight against pathogenic fungi and bacteria.

According to the expert of the online publication BelNovosti, scientist-agronomist, landscape designer Anastasia Kovrizhnykh , plant-friendly microscopic fungi, which are the basis of the biofungicide, are capable of suppressing about 60 types of pathogenic microbes.

These include different types of rot (white and gray), black leg, macrosporiosis, fusarium, anthracnose, scab, powdery mildew and others.

However, not all summer residents agree that Trichoderma has amazing properties: some of them complain that they did not find any effect from its use.

The main reason that could explain this situation is the improper preparation of the drug.

Add 2 teaspoons of the prepared dry powder to a container filled with 10 liters of water, which should have a temperature of 25-35 degrees.

Leave the solution in a warm and dark place for one hour, after which you can use it to help your plants. This must be done within 6-8 hours from the moment of preparation.
