Am a huge fan of commercial Trichoderma spp blends as a liquid fertiliser addition to my home garden.
The commercial products are usually sold as dry powders- spore mixes treated for storage.
I have run right out of these and need some soon. I have Trichoderma spp cultures in my library, and I can easily do liquid cultures based on my standard fertiliser blend.
Would the shock of throwing a growing but otherwise sterile culture, even at log phase, into the wild to compete with other organisms potentially any advantage?
What sort of optical density of the LC Trichoderma would I need as a fertiliser base, to add as 10x, 100x or 1000x. Can I wing it or do I need to switch the spectrophotometer on?
Anyone had any experience trying this?
