Name of the technology :
Formulation for the storage and delivery of Foc suppressive bioagents
A liquid formulation technology using cheaply available molasses was developed for the long term storage (15 months) and delivery of Trichoderma spp. The in vivo testing of the efficacy of liquid formulation of Trichoderma sp. NRCB3 (which was stored for 13 months at 25 ± 2°C) at 5, 10 and 15% conc. in cv. Grand Naine indicated that the application of all the concentrations resulted in complete control of Fusarium wilt disease.
It can be used to store the bioagents for long time (up to 15 months) and can be used for drenching, in drip irrigation and also for spraying
The materials used in this formulation is cheaper and hence cost effective
