Thanks a lot for your explanations. This is the most complete and serious video I have seen so far about this topic, I saved it in order to follow your process when needed.
You are on the cutting edge, sir. I have followed you since the inocucor days and I have always had a great respect and appreciation to your approach and how open you are to share what you have learned. If more people followed your model we would live in a more productive and equitable world. One thing people are doing in this space is adding insects to the grain media... its very easy to get dried grasshoppers, mealworms, various beetles etc. In a perfect world you can use a trap to find a small amount of your target pest for screening and then amplify the culture that likes to eat your enemy the best.The hope is that this can select for strains that can digest insects better. You can also add various phosphates to your solid media to screen for the ability to solubilize phosphate, another quality of trichoderma.
@@Spencer_Plant_Projects Thanks Spencer for your kind words. I have been experimenting in adding minute amounts of the pathogens to the Trich. Complete new metabolites very interesting
Basically, I use two grains, rye and sorghum. That grows well some of the strains I use. Others are very finicky and grow but not with enough spore production to make it worth my while.
@@markdenadventuretravelsfar4562 May be I think sterilized grain offer s cleaner method. i see people doing it but when multiplying micro organisms in sn open environment with unterilized materialscyou multiply the good and the bad
