There are many different strains of the beneficial fungi Trichoderma but not all function in the same way. This is why we believe in selecting specific strains for specific results.
We provide two different bio crop protection solutions that use Trichoderma as the active ingredient.
Eco-T® – Below ground
Trichoderma asperrellum strain kd is the active ingredient in our soil health solution, Eco-T®. This strain of Trichoderma was isolated from plant roots found in local South African soils and was found to be the best performing strain when compared to a 1000 other strains. It is well adapted to the rhizosphere where it fights off soil borne diseases and enhances root growth.
Eco-77® – Above ground
Trichoderma atroviride strain 77B is the active ingredient in our foliar applied, Eco-77® product. This strain of Trichoderma was isolated from the aerial environment and is well adapted to the challenges of this environment, such as UV and high temperatures. Eco-77® has been shown to survive on a pruning wound for up to 12 months. It is an aerial specialist that protects plants against the onslaught of other pathogens.
At Andermatt we believe ‘Nature leads Innovation’ and take pride in the lessons our planet teaches us. In nature, the balance flows continuously and it’s an endless game of ‘survival of the fittest’. In undisturbed systems, nature always reverts to equilibrium.
We believe maximum efficacy is achieved by using the best strain for the specific purpose. For more information please visit www.andermattafrica.com.
