Complete Details of Technology:	:
Storage losses of seeds is a major concern in rhizomatous and tuberous crops. The use of chemicals to manage rots can lead to biohazardous effects on ecosystem and also facilitate resistance development in pathogens against these fungicides. Thus, alternative ecofriendly approaches should be developed for the management of storage diseases in these crops. Coating of seeds of rhizomatous and tuberous crops before storage using Trichoderma spp, helps to shorten the germination time of rhizomes, improve the vigour of rhizome buds and also ensures uniform tiller emergence. The process also helps to prevent the growth of dry rot pathogens during storage (by preventing infection and entry into the rhizome) and protects the emerging crop from plant pathogens. The quality of seed can be improved through priming with Trichoprime @ 10% prior to storage for better seed germination. The advantage of the technology is that any strain of Trichoderma spp, can be used for preparing antimicrobial composition for seed coating.
Brief Description of Technology Including Salient Features:
In many rhizomatous and tuberous crops, rhizome/tuber is the most important part that contributes to yield and is the only source of planting material in the subsequent seasons. The process of priming seed rhizomes/tubers with Trichoderma can activate the rhizome buds, bring all viable buds to an equal stage of germination, enable fast and uniform emergence when planted, besides protecting the developing buds on the rhizomes/tubers from fungal plant pathogens. In addition, the Trichoderma primed rhizomes when planted in the soil will enable the Trichoderma to colonize the emerging plant roots and root zone (rhizosphere) thereby enhancing the disease suppressing capacity of the emerging plants and the rhizosphere. This protocol for priming seeds of rhizomatous crops using Trichoderma spp, helps to shorten the germination time of rhizomes, improve the vigour of rhizome buds and also ensures uniform tiller emergence. The process also helps to prevent the growth of dry rot pathogens during storage (by preventing infection and entry into the rhizome) and protects the emerging crop from plant pathogens.
Benefits/Utility	:
priming seeds of rhizomatous crops using Trichoderma spp, helps to shorten the germination time of rhizomes, improve the vigour of rhizome buds and also ensures uniform tiller emergence. The process also helps to prevent the growth of dry rot pathogens during storage (by preventing infection and entry into the rhizome) and protects the emerging crop from plant pathogens.
Time Of Application Use	:	Before storage
How To Use	:
Product can be coated on rhizomes @10%
Social Impact	:
Coated seed rhizomes were free from storage rot incidence, improved germination and enhanced the yield from 10-15%. The technology can be used in organic production systems.
