Trichoderma in agriculture – soil activation with boncrop solid
Our exclusive Trichoderma strain – for strong roots and healthy plants
Trichoderma is a naturally occurring soil fungus that acts directly in the root zone. boncrop solid contains a specially selected, patented strain of Trichoderma that stimulates soil life, promotes root development and makes plants more resilient from an early stage.
What is Trichoderma?
Trichoderma is a beneficial soil fungus that is active in the root zone of crops. There, it interacts actively with the roots, producing enzymes and plant hormones, thereby promoting growth, nutrient uptake and stress resistance.
The effect of Trichoderma on plants and soil
- Boost growth: Promotes cell growth and nutrient uptake through enzyme and hormone production
- Revitalise the soil: Activates soil microbiology and improves soil structure
- Reduce stress: Increases resistance to drought, cold and other abiotic stress factors
Why Trichoderma is only found in boncrop solid.
- Specially selected, patented strain
- Optimal combination with the bioactive compounds from Ascophyllum nodosum
- No impact on nutrient balance (contains no significant amounts of nitrogen or phosphorus – has no effect on your fertiliser balance)
- Maximum effectiveness in early growth stages
Trichoderma works where yields are generated – right from the start
For Trichoderma to be fully effective, early application is crucial. This is particularly evident in maize sowing: actively promoting root development lays the foundation for robust stands, improved nutrient uptake and greater stress resistance in later growth stages.
Trichoderma – found in almost all soils
Our Trichoderma is characterised by a wide pH tolerance range. It remains active in soils with a pH of between 4 and 8 and flexibly adapts its mode of action to acidic, neutral or alkaline conditions. This adaptability is further enhanced when combined with the organic acids and polysaccharides from boncrop algae extracts.
Adaptability to different soil pH levels – soil pH 5 to 8 (from left to right)
More fine roots – a measurable boost to root growth thanks to Trichoderma
The images clearly show the effect of Trichoderma on root development. Plants treated with boncrop solid develop more lateral, fibrous and fine roots. This measurably improves water and nutrient uptake and makes crops more resilient to stressful conditions.
boncrop solid – Trichoderma power for healthy crops
In boncrop solid, Trichoderma is optimally integrated into an algae-based biostimulant formula designed to promote healthy soils, strong roots and consistent yields.
FAQ – Frequently asked questions about Trichoderma
1. What distinguishes the Trichoderma strain in boncrop solid from other products?
The Trichoderma strain contained in boncrop solid has been specifically selected and is specially formulated for use in combination with algae-based biostimulants. This enables it to take effect in the root zone particularly early and efficiently.
2. How soon after application does Trichoderma take effect?
Trichoderma becomes active as soon as it is applied to the soil and begins to work in the root zone at an early stage. Particularly during early growth, the fungus supports the development of a robust root system – a crucial advantage for the crop’s subsequent development.
3. In which situations does Trichoderma offer the greatest benefit?
Trichoderma demonstrates its strengths particularly under challenging conditions, such as drought stress, cold during early growth, or limited nutrient availability. Here, it is particularly effective in helping plants develop greater resilience and stability.
4. Is the use of Trichoderma also beneficial for different soil types?
Yes. The Trichoderma strain in boncrop solid is adaptable and remains active across a wide pH range. This makes it suitable for light, medium and heavy soils, as well as for a variety of site conditions.
5. Does Trichoderma in boncrop solid fit into existing cropping systems?
Yes. boncrop solid can be easily integrated into existing fertilisation and cropping strategies, for example during sowing or via the fertiliser spreader. Its use does not require any additional accounting and generally does not involve any extra work steps.
