Trikosh

Trikosh® – Pioneer Biofungicide for Crop Protection in Pakistan

Trikosh® is a biological fungicide based on beneficial Trichoderma species, widely used in agriculture and horticulture for effective control of soil-borne plant diseases. It colonizes plant roots and the surrounding soil, forming a natural protective barrier that suppresses harmful pathogens and supports healthy crop development.Trikosh® enhances root growth, improves nutrient uptake, and increases overall plant vigor, making it a powerful tool for sustainable agriculture and integrated pest management (IPM).

How Trikosh® Works

Trikosh® controls plant diseases through multiple complementary mechanisms:

• Competition for space and nutrients: Rapid root colonization prevents pathogens from establishing on plant roots.

• Mycoparasitism: Trikosh® releases enzymes and metabolites that damage pathogen cell walls and inhibit their growth.

• Enhanced root development: Promotes the formation of root hairs, improving water and nutrient absorption.

• Induced Systemic Resistance (ISR): Strengthens plant defense mechanisms above and below ground.

• Improved nutrient availability: Mobilizes fixed nutrients such as iron and manganese for plant uptake.

Application Guidelines

Trikosh® is most effective when used preventively. Early root colonization—at sowing, transplanting, or during propagation—helps protect crops before disease pressure builds up.

For long-duration crops or high disease risk conditions, regular applications are recommended to maintain a strong protective barrier around the roots. Trikosh® provides up to 5 weeks of protection when no chemical fungicide is applied.
