What is trichoderma mushroom, what are its uses?

Want to learn how to use trichoderma mushroom, you should also know what this mushroom actually is and how it works, right!

What is trichoderma?

First of all, it must be confirmed that this is a type of mushroom. However, unlike other fungi that are harmful to plants, trichoderma has the ability to oppose and control other pathogenic fungi. It also kills many major root rot fungi such as: Pythium, Rhizoctonia and Fusarium. In other words, trichoderma fungus is considered a “natural enemy” of harmful fungi. Therefore, currently, the most effective and safe fungicides include preparations containing trichoderma.

Trichoderma fungus is considered a natural enemy of harmful fungi

Trichoderma fungi reproduce asexually at an exponential rate (sexual reproduction is very rare). Mushrooms grow strongly at temperatures from 25 – 30 degrees Celsius. The life cycle of mushrooms is quite long, surviving in a favorable environment for about 18 months. However, trichoderma can still be easily destroyed if exposed to intense sunlight for 2 hours or when it rains for many days.

Uses of trichoderma mushroom

Extremely effective treatment of yellow leaves and root rot

When using trichoderma mushrooms on plants, they will secrete a special enzyme. This enzyme dissolves the cell walls of other fungi. Next, the trichoderma fungus can attack inside the harmful fungi and destroy them.

Thanks to this mechanism, trichoderma mushroom preparations will protect the root zone of plants, against fungi that cause root rot and yellow leaves in the most effective way.

Increases plant resistance

Trichoderma fungi attach to plant root areas like other symbiotic organisms. This way of growing benefits both. Trichoderma fungus secretes stimulants into the soil so that plant roots grow deep into the ground. This helps plant roots become stronger and better able to absorb nutrients. When the roots develop well, the plant will be provided with a lot of energy to grow.

Not only that, Trichoderma fungus helps increase defense capabilities, like an “invincible” armor that protects plant roots from the invasion of fungal diseases

Helps decompose fibers quickly

Activity of trichoderma fungus. It also promotes the decomposition of fibers such as leaves… a quick way to provide nutrients for plants. That’s why people often mix this mushroom with organic fertilizer, this will help the organic fertilizer decompose and decompose faster.

There are many ways to use trichoderma for plants, it can be used directly or mixed with other fertilizers. For each type of plant, the dosage of mushrooms used will be different. Specifically, please refer to the section below.

3 ways to use trichoderma

Use direct fertilizer

Using trichoderma fungus to directly fertilize crops is very simple and quick. This method of use is currently used by many households because of its convenience, without having to wait for incubation time.

Specifically, if people want to grow seedlings, they will use a trichoderma mushroom product mixed well with the growing medium before adding the nursery pots. Thanks to the root protection mechanism of this fungus, the nursery will grow as healthily as possible.

For crops such as vegetables or fruit trees…trichoderma fungus is mixed with organic fertilizer to fertilize 1-2 times/crop for short-term plants and 1-2 times/year for perennial plants. If the weather is favorable, you may only need to fertilize once. But if the weather is not favorable such as long days of intense sunshine or prolonged rain, you should fertilize a second time to add new mushrooms to replace the dead ones. Thanks to that, the tree is always healthy.

Trichoderma fungus

This is also a way to use trichoderma mushrooms that is extremely simple, quick, and doesn’t take much time. Accordingly, you just need to mix the mushroom product with water according to the instructed ratio and then water it directly at the base of the tree.

Incubate mushrooms with other fertilizers

As mentioned, trichoderma fungus has the ability to quickly decompose fiber. Therefore, this type of mushroom is popular for composting with manure and plant residues. Depending on the manufacturer, there will be different incubation instructions. But basically you can refer to the incubation method used by many people as follows:

People mix a certain amount of mushrooms (according to the instructions of each manufacturer) with super phosphate, manure and plant residue. Next, spray the urea nitrogen solution mixed with water into the compost pile to wet it evenly. Use your hands to squeeze the mixture tightly and see if the water oozes out. It should not be too wet nor too dry. Then mix well and incubate the canvas.

Incubate trichoderma mushrooms with manure and organic matter

After 4-5 days, stir and check the moisture. If it feels dry, spray water on it to create humidity. After 25 – 30 days, continue to stir and check the moisture. If dry, spray water to ensure moisture is 50 – 55% (ie wring it out and seep out the water). If the manure is completely decomposed, it can be used. If not, continue incubation until 30 days later.

3 how to use mushrooms trichoderma can be used on all types of plants. However, for each type of crop, people prioritize using certain methods. Specifically, please see the instructions for using trichoderma fungus medicine for each type of plant as follows.

Each type of plant has different biological characteristics. Therefore, when using trichoderma mushrooms for them, you should also consider which method should be given priority.

How to use trichoderma fungus for vegetables and industrial crops

Vegetables and industrial plants are plants with quite high economic value. However, during the process of growing them, many times farmers lamented the raging yellow leaf disease and root rot, causing the trees to die and productivity to decrease. However, if you know about the medicine to treat yellow leaves and root rot from trichoderma fungus, this will certainly no longer be a problem.

Using trichoderma fungus for vegetable crops and industrial crops, you can use all 3 methods above. However, with vegetable crops, direct fertilization is preferred. For industrial crops, the method of composting mushrooms with manure and plant remains is used more. What is the reason?

Vegetable plants have a fairly short life cycle, usually only after 2-3 months they will be harvested. Therefore, composting will take too long, so people will take advantage of the period of applying basic fertilizer to mix trichoderma mushroom preparations together.

As for industrial plants, due to their long life cycle, usually several years or decades, the care process requires periodic provision of nutrients. Disease control also needs to be done regularly. Therefore, composting mushrooms with manure and organic matter will provide more nutrients for plants, more effectively and can be done every 6 months.

Using trichoderma fungus for flowers: orchids, roses

Orchids or roses are often grown in ornamental pots, the area is quite small so people often use the trichoderma method of watering the roots. Just mix the mushroom product with water and water the plants.

The activity of fungi will help flowers grow better because the roots are well protected. The root system is extremely important for flowers, especially orchids. Not only that, thanks to its ability to promote the decomposition of organic matter and humus, this fungus will help flower plants get more nutrients to grow and develop well.
