What Makes Trichoderma Harzianum Special?
Trichoderma harzianum is one of the most powerful friendly fungi in farming. It does 2 things at the same time:
-
It is a bio fungicide: Kills harmful fungi like Fusarium, Rhizoctonia, Pythium, Sclerotium, and Phytophthora that cause root rot, wilt, and damping off
-
It is also a bio nematicide: Kills root-knot nematodes (small worms that damage roots and reduce yield)
This 2-in-1 action is why Trichoderma harzianum is the first choice for vegetable growers, fruit growers, and farmers facing both fungal disease and nematode problems.
Why Choose Harzianum Over Viride? Trichoderma viride works best in cool, moist soils. Trichoderma harzianum works in both cool and warm soils (20–35°C) that means it is better for summer crops, south Indian conditions, and year-round use. Plus, only harzianum kills nematodes. Many farmers use both together for full protection.

How to Use Step by Step
1. Seed Treatment
Take 5 to 10 grams per kg of seed. Mix with little water (about 50 ml) to make a paste. Coat seeds well. Dry in shade for 20 to 30 minutes. Sow within 24 hours. Best for groundnut, soybean, gram, paddy, cotton.
2. Soil Application (Most Common)
Take 2 to 2.5 kg per acre. Mix with 50 to 100 kg of well-rotted gobar khaad (FYM) or vermicompost. Sprinkle some water to keep mixture moist. Cover with wet sack and keep in shade for 5 to 7 days. Then spread in field at sowing or transplanting time.
3. Drench for Standing Crops
Mix 5 to 10 grams per litre of water. Pour around the base of plants. For full acre mix 1 to 2 kg in 200 litres water and drench. Repeat after 15 days if disease continues.
4. Root Dip Before Transplanting
Mix 10 grams per litre of water. Dip seedling roots for 20 to 30 minutes. Then transplant. Very effective for nematode-prone fields.
5. For Fruit Trees
Mix 50 to 100 grams per plant with 5 to 10 kg FYM or vermicompost. Apply near the root zone. Repeat every 3 to 4 months for full protection.
When to Use
- At sowing or transplanting (preventive gives best result)
- Before monsoon when soil moisture rises
- In fields with last year's wilt, root rot, or nematode history
- In nurseries with damping-off problem
- For organic farming and IPM crop programs
- Year-round in fruit orchards and plantation crops
- 30 to 35 days after sowing as preventive booster
How Does It Work?
Trichoderma harzianum is a smart fungus. It works in 4 ways:
-
Mycoparasitism: It directly attacks and eats harmful disease fungi dissolves their cell walls
-
Competition: It grabs root space and food before disease germs can
-
Antibiosis: It produces natural antibiotics that kill disease germs
-
Plant defence boost: It wakes up the plant's own immune system
Bonus benefits it also solubilises phosphorus and micronutrients in soil, making them available to the plant. So plants grow faster, with stronger roots and greener leaves.
Compatibility Note: Do NOT mix Trichoderma harzianum with chemical fungicides they kill the live fungus. Keep
10–15 days gap before or after any chemical fungicide spray. Compatible with biofertilizers, neem-based products, FYM, and other organic inputs. Safe to use along with
Pseudomonas fluorescens and
Trichoderma viride.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q. What is Trichoderma harzianum used for? Trichoderma harzianum is a bio fungicide and bio nematicide. It controls soil-borne fungal diseases (root rot, wilt, damping off, collar rot, stem rot) and root-knot nematodes in vegetables, pulses, oilseeds, fruit crops, and plantation crops.
Q. What is the dose of Trichoderma harzianum per acre? For soil application: 2 to 2.5 kg per acre mixed with 50 to 100 kg FYM. For seed treatment: 5 to 10 g per kg seed. For drench: 1 to 2 kg in 200 litres water per acre.
Q. How much Trichoderma harzianum to mix in 1 litre water? For drench, mix 5 to 10 grams per litre water. For seedling root dip, mix 10 grams per litre water and dip roots for 20 to 30 minutes before transplanting.
Q. Can Trichoderma harzianum control nematodes? Yes. This is the biggest advantage of harzianum over other Trichoderma. It controls root-knot nematodes, cyst nematodes, citrus nematodes, and banana nematodes. Apply 2 to 2.5 kg per acre with FYM at sowing or transplanting.
Q. What is the difference between Trichoderma harzianum and Trichoderma viride? Both are friendly fungi. Trichoderma harzianum works in both cool and warm soils (up to 35°C) and ALSO controls nematodes. Trichoderma viride works best in cool, moist soils only. Many farmers use both together for full protection.
Q. Can it stop wilt in tomato and chilli? Yes. It is one of the best biological options for Fusarium and Verticillium wilt in tomato, chilli, brinjal, and capsicum. Use as soil application (2.5 kg/acre + FYM) at transplanting, plus root dip of seedlings.
Q. Is it safe for fruit crops like banana, mango, and pomegranate? Yes. It is one of the most popular bio inputs for fruit growers. Apply 50 to 100 grams per plant mixed with 5 to 10 kg FYM near the root zone. Repeat every 3 to 4 months for nematode and root rot control.
Q. Can I mix Trichoderma harzianum with chemical fungicides? No. Chemical fungicides kill the friendly fungus. Keep 10 to 15 days gap before or after any chemical fungicide application.
Q. Can it be used in organic farming? Yes. It is approved for organic farming and is one of the most widely used biological inputs in NPOP-certified, IPM, and natural farming systems.
Q. How long does Trichoderma harzianum stay active in soil? Once established with adequate moisture and organic matter, it stays active in the root zone for 30 to 45 days. Repeat application every 3 to 4 months gives season-long protection in fruit orchards.
Q. Can it be applied through drip irrigation? Yes. Mix 1 to 2 kg in 100 to 200 litres of water and apply through the drip system. This is one of the easiest methods for plantation crops, fruit orchards, and drip-fed vegetables.
Q. Does it also help in plant growth? Yes. Bonus benefit Trichoderma harzianum solubilises phosphorus and micronutrients in soil, makes them available to plants, and improves root development. Plants become greener, stronger, and yield more.
