One day Workshop on “Exploring the microbial world through foldscope”
 


 At Kendriya Vidyalaya, Gangtok 13.02.19

<pre class="wp-block-verse">Conducted by ICAR- National organic farming research institute Tadong, Gangtok </pre>











 In this workshop the total of 144 student had participated which are from class VI, VII, VIII &amp; IX standard. The student learned various thing like assembling of foldscope, slide preparation, identification of different plant parts (pollen), diseased samples of plants and the application of foldscope in identifying the pathogens and other plant samples (pollen, onion tissue). student were very keen to learn more about the use of foldscope and many students were also interested in buying the foldscope.

 Trichoderma
 
 is a genus of fungi in the family Hypocreaceae, that is present in all soils, many species in this genus can be characterized as opportunistic avirulent plant symbionts. Several of Trichoderma have the ability to form
 
 mutualistic endophytic relationship with several other plant species. Therefore, they are also used as bio-control agents in plants.
