• The sweet pepper farmer shifted to biological control to avoid chemical residues

• Technical result: Well-rooted healthy cucumber crop, repeated Trichoderma application through drip irrigation provides Phytophthora control in sweet pepper crop
  
• Economic result: Residue free vegetables enter market at higher price
