2 Microbes to Bulletproof Your Plants — Without Harsh Chemicals.

Two proven biocontrol fungi—Trichoderma and Beauveria bassiana—can protect plants from pests and pathogens while boosting resilience from the inside out. In this episode, Brandon Rust explains how these microbes colonize xylem as endophytes, produce metabolites (enzymes, phytohormones, siderophores), and work synergistically to reduce disease pressure and insect damage—often outperforming conventional chemical programs when used correctly. What you’ll learn Endophytes 101: how Trichoderma and Beauveria bassiana colonize xylem and move with the transpiration stream Defense from within: ISR/SAR signaling, metabolite cascades, and why this matters for powdery mildew and sap-feeders Synergy data: why pairing Beauveria with Trichoderma can increase insect control efficacy Practical IPM: tank mixing, cadence, and where biologicals fit with your current program Common pitfalls: when molasses backfires, damping-off, timing BT-k for caterpillars Research in motion: ionomics, tissue/sap testing, and what new labs will let us measure next Who this helps Indoor/outdoor growers, market gardeners, and IPM leads who want higher protection and fewer residues using biologicals that actually scale.
