It was actually one of the first options for growers, as it was affordable and chemical-free.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, it wasn\u2019t all that easy. There are around <strong>30 types of trichoderma<\/strong> <strong>variants<\/strong>, and while some of them are beneficial, others are parasites. Science had to step in and identify which ones acted as fungicides through a long research.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The method used by this fungus to control plants and bacteria is very simple. Once it is added, it installs itself in the roots and feeds from them. When a harmful fungus gets near it, trichodermas approach it and <strong>release <\/strong>enzymes that paralyze its movement and growth, stopping it from accessing the plant and feeding from it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It turns into some sort of competition. Fungi start a battle over space, light and water, but trichodermas have <strong>extremely potent <\/strong>natural substances against other types of fungi, which turns it into a powerful tool to control plagues.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.growbarato.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Trichoderma-para-matar-hongos-en-el-cannabis-1024x576.jpg.webp\" alt=\"fungi trichodermas\" style=\"width:600px;height:453px\" title=\"fungi trichodermas\"\/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_do_trichodermas_act\"><\/span>How do trichodermas act?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>First step: <\/strong>Trichodermas identify the fungus, release its enzymes and kill it.
