Innovation Efficacy

This controlled study demonstrates the efficacy of Trillum’s Protein Defence Technology in suppressing key soil-borne pathogens. From left to right: Pythium, Rhizoctonia, and Fusarium. Trillum consistently outcompeted these pathogens through its enhanced formulation, enriched with targeted proteins and enzymes that disrupt pathogen activity and promote microbial dominance—ensuring reliable, repeatable results under diverse soil conditions.

Laboratory Trial: Trillum’s Protein Defence Technology

Digging Deeper into the Technology

High Performance Isolate

A proprietary, high-performance microbial strain exhibiting robust antagonistic activity, delivering consistent and superior suppression of soil-borne pathogens.

Protein Defence Technology

Protein Defence Technology incorporates supplemental enzymatic activity that enhances pathogen suppression by degrading microbial cell structures and reinforcing plant defence mechanisms.

Multi-pathway action

The technology has unique and various modes of action which suppresses pathogens through enzymatic mycoparasitism, antifungal metabolite production, competitive root colonization, immune system activation, and plant growth promotion.

Solid State Fermentation

Solid-state fermentation (SSF) enables the production of superior microbial formulations by promoting higher enzyme yields and fostering the development of more resilient, metabolically active microorganisms.
