MYCOSTOP

A safe and reliable means of protecting your crops against pathogens

Developed from a naturally occurring bacteria, Streptomyces strain K61, MYCOSTOP is a preventative product that thrives in the rhizosphere for several weeks and provides effective control on a wide range of pathogens including damping-off caused by various fungi, such as Alternaria and Rhizoctonia solani; and wilt and root diseases caused by Fusarium, Phytophthora and Pythium. When applied as a drench or spray, the dried spores and mycelium of the Streptomyces culture in MYCOSTOP germinate and begin to grow on and around the plant root system. This creates a biological defense against seed and soil-borne pathogens.

MYCOSTOP provides effective control on a wide range of pathogens including:

  • Damping-off caused by various fungi, such as Alternaria and Rhizoctonia solani; and
  • Wilt and root diseases caused by Fusarium, Phytophthora and Pythium.

Mode of Action

  • Competition: Deprives pathogenic fungi of space and nourishment by colonizing the plant roots
  • Hyperparasitism: Produces enzymes, which disrupts the cell walls of pathogens
  • Metabolites: Inhibits plant pathogens

Application Methods

Applied as an aqueous suspension via:

  • Growing media treatment
  • Drip irrigation
  • Drench or sprayed onto the growing medium
  • Dry seed treatment
  • Bulb and cutting dip

Compatibility: Compatible with many chemical pesticides. For more details, ask your distributor
