- The Indian Institute of Spices Research (IISR) in Kerala has developed a new agricultural product. It is a granular lime-based Trichoderma bio-pesticide and fertilizer. This innovative product offers a dual function, serving as both a pesticide and fertilizer.
- Trichoderma, the main component, acts as a biocontrol agent against soil-borne pathogens while promoting plant growth. It is designed to provide eco-friendly pest and disease management in agriculture.
- The granular formulation ensures easy application and better field efficacy. This development is significant for sustainable and organic farming practices, reducing reliance on chemical pesticides.
