Unlike chemical fungicides Bio fungicides can be used at all stages of the crop growth without any fear of residues. Bio fungicides can be used for organic farming to produce residue free food.

Combat is a carrier [Talc] based formulation containing Trichoderma harzianum, Trichoderma lignorum [viride], and Gliocladium [Trichoderma] virens as a dynamic formulation.

Protects the root system form Fusarium, Pythium, Rhizoctonia, Sclerotium and other pathogens of the root.

Crops: Grapes, Cotton, Pulses, Tea, Potato, Tomato, Oil seeds, Tobacco, Spices, Cereals, Vegetables and Horticultural crops.

The microbes in Combat antagonise plant pathogenic fungi in the following manner:

• By production of lytic enzymes like chitinases by Combat fungi which rupture the host hyphae. These enzymes are produced when Combat fungi come in contact with plant pathogenic fungi. This results in extensive vacuolation, collapse, shrinking and subsequent disintegration of hyphae of the pathogenic fungi.
  
• By production of proteases and lipases which digest internal components of hyphae of plant pathogenic fungi. Combat fungi can utilize the the plant pathogenic fungi as their food
  
• By production of water-soluble diffusible antibiotics which account for death of plant pathogenic fungi.
