Bio-Cure F is a preventive biological (living) fungicide based on a beneficial antagonistic fungus, Trichoderma viride.   The product contains the conidial spore and the mycelial fragments that attacks disease-causing pathogens before they reach the root system.

It grows fast and coils around the pathogen and penetrates through it and takes nutrients from the pathogen. The pathogen eventually dies and finally eliminated from the field. Bio-Cure-F controls the disease-causing pathogens causing root rot, root wilt, seedling rot, and collar-rot diseases in crops like tomatoes, potatoes, bananas, etc.
