trichoderma

I will soon be starting to write a proposal for a thesis for my Master's degree and have played with a couple ideas in the botany/microbiology field. I have one that sounds the appealing and I think could be potentially very interesting to the community here all the while fulfilling my...

I recovered my damaged file, actually I found a back up I had forgotten about :) To watch you must first right click on the link and select "save as" http://bluegrasscarnivores.com/research1/ledmov.mov The presentation is a little dated. The last NASA data I've read suggest they are now...

Congrats go to one of our own Kelly (ampac biotech) aka true424 Ampac Biotech's strain of T. atroviride ("Plant Helper") kicked butt in a recent study when compared to other beneficials and trichoderma strains in the control of Phytophthora... woohooo, I knew you were good but dang girl...

So yeah, I've got a ton of Greenshield (looked it up and it's the same thing as Physan 20.) I sterilize tools and repotting spaces/used pots with it. Is this OK to sterilize new plants with before repotting? It supposedly kills everything.. viruses, fungi, bacteria, and algae. It seems ok to use...

Hi all, just picked up some Root Shield which has 1.15% Trichoderma harzianum Rifai Strain KRL-AG2 for my Cephalotus I know a couple of people here use Trichoderma harzianum, is this a good enough brand? How much should I use per gallon of water? How much should I water my Cephalotus with? And...

Hello, Iam new in the area of Drosera seedling I use mix of- peat mos 50%, perlite 25% , vermikolit 25% , and extra professional edition TRICHODERMA. cited from scientific ticle:TRICHODERMA (free-living fungi -being parasites of other plant harmful fungi, lack of pathogenicity to plants)...

Hey TF, Those of you (cough cough Av :-D) who use mycorrhizal fungi... What brand do you use? How do you innoculate the soil? What genera do you use it on? Whats your application rate (once a month, once every two months...)? How much do you use? Ive been very persuaded by some of the...

Great research paper on Trichoderma Abstract: Nature Reviews Microbiology 2, 43-56 (January 2004) | doi:10.1038/nrmicro797 Trichoderma species — opportunistic, avirulent plant symbionts Gary E. Harman1, Charles R. Howell2, Ada Viterbo3, Ilan Chet3 & Matteo Lorito Trichoderma spp. are...

Hi everyone, I finally got some Trichoderma and is wondering if the beneficial fungus is growing in one pot, I should be able to take some of the media to innoculate another pot of media right? Just wondering if it works the same as yoghurt... :0o:

Well my computer sucks. I just typed up a few questions and some background info. about my growing conditions, but my comp took a crap on me. So, rather than retype it all I just want to ask you all one question: What are your suggestions on growing Hamatas? I can't get my rajah to pitcher yet...

It's a new (although not the newest) pitcher on my Cephalotus "Hummer's Giant". I'm not satisfied with the color, so I lowered the metal halide about 5 inches. I hope it doesn't burn it: I don't think it will. I wish there weren't so many growth points overlapping each other, but there's no way...

Hey guys. I have no idea where to put this. Has anyone ever tried culturing Trichoderma in a jar as one would culture mushrooms like Shitake or Oyster or something? I'm kindly being sent some Trichoderma granules for my new cephalotus and I was told they can be cultured on cornmeal. Plain or...

I was recently asked for the following information, so I decided to share it with everyone: P.S. Some species respond favorably to the addition of coral sand, but not all. Piinguicula gypsicola is one that does. Additional comments: Whenever growth appears to be slowing, I dust the leaves...

Where can i get RootShield (Trichoderma harzianum)? Is it recommended for all CPs? Looking at the description online, it looks like it invasively pushes out harmful fungi, preventing damping-off fungus and root rot. Looks like it would be good for my Sarracenia, too, but I'd like to hear from...

PROPAGATING MEXICAN PINGUICULA by Joseph Clemens ------------------------------------ The following is my Mexican Pinguicula propagating technique. This is my basic technique, which I tweak and modify when ideas occur to me. First: I pull ½ or more of the leaves from plants I am...

Here is what Pinguicula growing like weeds looks like. Story: 1) I had several clones (species, hybrids, and cultivars) of Pinguicula that I had already created several small plantlets of by leaf pullings. I used some of these small plants to pull off many smaller leaves for propagation. I...

Greetings: I have been growing Cephalotus outside here in Guatemala for about 5 years. While I have managed to grow them well to a certain size (rosettes about 20 cm across), each year about this time (during the lull in the rainy season), I ALWAYS lose my biggest plants to what I presume is a...

Hello all, Today my tricoderma beneficial fungi, bacteria, protozoa, whatever, arrived here today in the form of Root Shield. I have already given a small amount to my young Cephalotus Follicularis 'German Giant' (yes, I know this is unofficial, but it leans more towards this "given" cultivars...

Hello all, Yesterday I ordered some Trichoderma Beneficial Fungi (or nematodes or bacteria or something ) for my Cephalotus, and I was wondering if it benefits any other CPs? Thanks a million!!
