I did a quick check and found several Trichoderma products registered in
California. I did not look further to see which might be registered on
grapes. You can check for yourself on the Calif.. Dept. of Pesticide
Regulation Web site.. Go to www.cdpr.ca.gov and follow the link to
Databases. You can find out what is registered in California or federally.
You will be asked for a chemical code. To save you the trouble of looking
up Trichoderma, there are three codes for different strains. They are
3977, 4019, and 5101. You can look at information on individual products
to see for what commodities they are registered.
