Hello,

I am looking information about trichoderma.

Some months ago, I red about the posibility to make homemade Trichoderma from boiled rice.

Does anybody know where can I get information about the matter?

Thank you very much.

That was interesting. I didn't have a clue what trichoderma was about, so I took a quick look online.

I discoverd that trichoderma are the most common culturable soil fungi, comprising about 35 species. They're strongly antagonistic to other fungi, and may be considered microbial predators. Several strains have been developed as biocontrol agents against fungal diseases in plants. Various strains are used industrially to produce different enzymes.

I also found detailed instructions for trichoderma on rice (actually, rice bran): How to Make Trichoderma Pellets. (This was for use in controlling a durian tree disease.)

You need the appropriate Trichoderma innoculant. Don't know where you'd get that. I found a couple of possible leads: American Plant Food Co and DirtDoctor.com.

Dunno if that's at all helpful, but at least I'm now aware of trichoderma, although I still don't know what I'd do with it! I'm curious about what you had in mind?

Trichoderma preparations are widely used here in Latvia. They are even somewhat cheaper when compared to artificial plant protection products. There is some information about Trichoderma and other products available also in English: http://www.bioefekts.lv/EN.html

REPLY to Trichoderma . Sounds horrific .All i know is you can have tummy bugs if you keep cooked rice in fridge for more than 2 days —but you can keep cooked rice for longer in freezer .Perhaps that is something to do with trichoderma ??? I would like to know if i can dig in bought out of date uncooked rice into compost heap without giving added trouble to soil ifthe rice compost breaks down ok and is added to soil ???????ie will it infect other plants?????
