Plant Growth Promoters

Red Cedar Ag • January 29, 2026

Plant growth-promoting fungi such as specific Trichoderma species support plant health through metabolite and enzyme production that enhances growth, stress tolerance, and pathogen resistance. Low abundance of these fungi suggests the soil microbiome is contributing little beyond basic nutrient cycling, leaving plants more vulnerable to abiotic stress, disease pressure, and weaker root development. Key benefits of adequate Trichoderma levels include hormone-driven root growth, reduced stress ethylene via ACC deaminase, improved micronutrient uptake, and biocontrol through induced systemic resistance.


Our Solution: Verone®

Verone® is a seed treatment enhancement designed to help crops get out of the ground faster and more uniformly. It includes Trichoderma, a plant growth-promoting fungus, to support early root development and stress tolerance. Stronger starts lead to better stand consistency and improved season-long performance.
