Method of application:
Each TRICHOCAP capsule contains 109 propagules. Dissolve one TRICHOCAP capsule in one litre of boiled and cooled to luke warm water. In about ten minutes, the capsule will be completely dissolved. Now, dilute this one litre solution in 100 litres of clean water and drench the pepper vines @ 1 litre – 3 litre depending on the size of the vine. For ginger, cardamom and other crops, drench depending on the root spread. For nurseries, drench 100 ml of the solution per bag, or mix the solution in digested compost or farmyard manure at the time of bag filling. The same one litre solution can be dissolved in about 8 – 10 litres of clean water and mixed with digested compost on farmyard or neem cake and applied to 30 – 50 vines depending on the size. For ginger, cardamom and other crops, apply based on the root spread. Both TRICHOCAP and POWERCAP can be used together in combination.
