Hey all, I live in a place that’s tropical and rains a lot, so bud rot is an ongoing issue, by far my largest issue tbh. I am testing an organic product:
Which contains Trichoderma harzianum, this fungus ‘feeds’ on Botrytis cinerea and kills it in the process, I’ve read a number of studies that seem to back this up but does anyone here have any direct experience ?
I haven’t heard of it either but very interested to see if it works! My outdoor season is short and humid, something like that would be beneficial if it works.
I have put some on the soil, but I am too late for seed soaking unfortunately, they recommend a foliage application, I’m wondering if trichoderna spores on the bud might be an issue later on… I might pick a less than stellar plant to test it on.
So my opinion is trichoderma would be better for stem rot where it is better applied. I don’t see it being applied to buds as a good idea. Once boytrytis is in the plant obviously trichoderma isn’t going to do anything.
Did you have a different opinion, or were you just trolling again?
So quarrelsome. Holidays probably stressing you out lol. I hear that’s common.
I’m simply saying most people get it from airborne spores that opportunistically infect buds due to sheer size or humidity/airflow issues, not systemic infections from cuttings as you suggested. It’s in the air almost the entire year. Literally zero trolling.
So your answer to the OP is what Vern? The person should use Trichoderma? You’re just trolling as usual. Maybe next time you should quote someone that cares?
