About Multiplex Trishul
Trishul (Vesicular Arbuscular Mycorrhiza, VAM) by Multiplex is a mycorrhizal biofertilizer used for improving root development and nutrient uptake in crops. It is recommended for all crops and helps plants take up more phosphorus, while also inducing resistance to fungal root diseases like root wilt and root rot, and suppressing nematode infestation. Multiplex Trishul is a ready to use liquid formulation, applied through seed treatment, soil application for nursery, soil application in the main field, or drenching through drip irrigation.
Multiplex Trishul Technical Composition
Mycorrhizal spp. (10 spores/gm and 1200 IP/g (Inoculum Potential), determined by MPN method with 10-fold dilution)
Mode of Action
Trishul works through VAM, a symbiotic fungus that forms a network of filaments associated with plant roots. This network extends the plant's effective root surface area, allowing it to draw nutrients, mainly phosphorus, from soil the roots alone could not reach, and exchange nutrients between the soil and the host plant.
Key Features and Benefits of Multiplex Trishul
-
Improves phosphorus uptake: Plants treated with Trishul have a higher concentration of phosphorus compared to untreated plants.
-
Acts as an extension of the root system: VAM acts as an extension of the roots in search of nutrition and water under stress conditions.
-
Builds disease resistance: Induces resistance to fungal root diseases like root wilt and root rot and suppresses nematode infestation.
-
Stimulates plant growth and root development: Accelerates root development and stimulates plant growth, along with increasing tolerance to environmental stress.
-
Supports soil health: Plays a role in the soil aggregation process and stimulates microbial activity in the soil.

Multiplex Trishul Expert Advice
"For best results, apply Trishul Expert to your crop stage, seed treatment before sowing, soil application at the nursery stage, and either a main field broadcast or a drip irrigation drench once the crop is established. Since Trishul is a live fungal culture, avoid mixing it with any chemical pesticide, fungicide or weedicide." – BigHaat Agronomy Expert
