While studies have shown increased vigor & root development in crop plants, imho, the largest benefit of Trichoderma is the one that isn't seen - the absence of pathogenic fungal attacks (ie: the often-discussed sudden death syndrome in Cephs & a similar malady in Heli's as well as something nasty with Sarrs...)Still to early to see any discernible difference.
crystal on these forums sells the good stuff in small batches good for hobbyists. I've been using it for a few months on my neps, helis, and cephs. Still to early to see any discernible difference.
Hi,
When you water in Trichoderma do you pour it from above or could you stand the plant in a saucer and fill the saucer with the treated water? I have a few big Cephs I want to treat and not keen on soaking them from above as the pitchers fill the pot.
I have had a few issues with some of my VFTs developing rotten roots which them infects the bulb of the plant. Is it likely that Trichoderma might help "cure" this issue or would I need to use a fungicide first. And them once (if) the plant recovers and once the effects of the fungicide wears off them treat with Trichoderma?
What dosage of Trichoderma do you use? 1 teaspoon to a gallon for example?
Sorry to hijack this thread!!
cheers

think that trich would help with the spotting on my black truncata leaves the plant seems fine other wise. I have several cephs now that i would hate to loose suddenly now that they are getting to a nice size.
I read about how to use trichoderma... it says after your done watering discard the whole batch. So if you mix it with a gallon size jug and pour just a little on your plants the rest goes to waste, is this true? If it is I'm getting the granular kind so i dont waste any.
