EFFECTS OF ORGANIC AMENDMENTS ENRICHED WITH TRICHODERMA SP ON VEGETABLE

PRODUCTION IN SUB-SAHARAN AREA

Trichoderma spp. is a cosmopolitan and abundant fungi in soil with various capacities & benefits for plantsTrichoderma : as biofertilizer : • Enhances degradation of organic matter, allowing the release of nutrients

(N, P, K, etc)• Solubilizes the insoluble phosphate and micronutrients making them

available for plant• Produces phytohormones that significantly increased the total root length

leading to promoting of plant growth Trichoderma : as effective biological control agent for a number of soil-

borne pathogens• Capability of utilizing diverse substrates and competition for nutrients• Inhibition of plant pathogenic fungi (mycoparasitism antagonistic activity)

producers of antibiotics and cell wall-

Project Goals

Improve the agronomic potential of different organic amendments by developing and disseminating technique and practices that promote the organic amendment enriched with Trichoderma sp. enrichment.

Target group: Vegetable farmers :1600Famers Organisation: 10 NGO :10Seller compagny of farm inputs : 5

Seller of farm inputs

Expected impacts30% increase of tomatoes, onions and Irish potatoes yields25% increase of farmers incomes Promoting capacity of 4 rural unities to produce and sale compost enriched with Trichoderma

Project results

• Result 1: Participatory statement of soil fertility management in market gardenning systems• Result 2: Production of different formulas and packaging

of Trichoderma enriched organic amendments• Result 3: Agronomic tests of Trichoderma-

enriched organic amendments• Result 4: Capacity building of producers

master the application of Trichoderma - enriched organic amendments
