Chaetomium cupreum

Chaetomium cupreum is a filamentous ascomycete fungus known for its biocontrol and biodegradation capabilities. It suppresses plant pathogens like Fusarium through antifungal metabolites and contributes to organic matter recycling via lignocellulose degradation. Its production of hydrolytic enzymes highlights its potential in sustainable agriculture and industrial biotechnology.

Soil Application Method

  • Mix at recommended doses with compost and apply at early life stages of crop along with other biofertilizers.

  • Mix Chaetomium Cupreum at recommended doses in sufficient water and drench soil at early leaf stage / 2-4 leaf stage / early crop life cycle.

  • Drip Irrigation: If there are insoluble particles, filter the solution and add to drip tank.

  • For long duration crops / Perennial / Orchard crops: Dissolve Chaetomium Cupreum at recommended doses in sufficient water and apply as a drenching spray near the root zone twice a year. It is recommended to have the first application before the onset of the main monsoon / rainfall / spring season and the second application after the main monsoon / rainfall / autumn / fall season.


Foliar Application Method

  • Foliar application to be done at early disease incidence. 1-2 follow-up sprays to be done at weekly intervals.

  • Mix Chaetomium Cupreum at recommended doses in sufficient water and spray on foliage. Apply twice a year for long duration crops. It is recommended to have the first application before the onset of the main monsoon / rainfall / spring season and the second application after the main monsoon / rainfall / autumn / fall season.
