Micro Army TRV — encapsulated Trichoderma viride
Trichodermaviride
Microbial biopesticides are natural products made from microorganisms like bacteria, fungi, or viruses that control pests and diseases in crops. These biopesticides target specific pests while being safe for humans, animals, and beneficial insects. They offer an eco-friendly, sustainable solution to pest management in agriculture.
The science
Mode of action
How Trichoderma viride works inside the plant and the soil.
Pathogen recognition mechanism
Detects pathogen-associated molecular patterns and directs hyphal growth precisely toward targeted fungal pathogens.
Cell wall enzymatic lysis
Produces chitinase and glucanase enzymes that dissolve fungal cell walls and destabilize internal cellular structures.
Secondary metabolite toxicity
Releases antifungal metabolites that interfere with pathogen metabolic pathways and respiratory enzyme activity.
Protective root colonization
Forms a biological barrier on root surfaces, physically blocking pathogen attachment and penetration points.
Defense response induction
Stimulates expression of plant defense genes responsible for antifungal protein and enzyme synthesis.

Key benefits
5 reasons growers choose Trichoderma viride.
- 01
Effective soil-borne disease control
Controls damping-off, root rot, collar rot, and wilt diseases caused by soil-borne fungal pathogens.
- 02
Sustained disease suppression
Ensures prolonged pathogen suppression through persistent antagonistic activity within the rhizosphere.
- 03
Reduced pathogen population
Significantly lowers fungal population density in soil and root zone environments.
- 04
Reduced chemical dependency
Minimizes reliance on chemical fungicides through consistent and effective biological disease suppression.
- 05
Crop-safe biological protection
Provides reliable disease control without adverse effects on crops or beneficial microorganisms.
