MICOFRENDE

The Biological Barrier: How Mykofrend Works

The product is based on a consortium of beneficial microorganisms, primarily strains of Trichoderma fungi. This is not merely a fungicide but an active biological system that colonizes the root zone (rhizosphere), creating a robust barrier against pathogens. The mechanism of action is rooted in competition for space and resources: the beneficial microflora suppresses the development of phytopathogens, including those responsible for root rot, Fusarium, Alternaria, and late blight.

Technical Breakdown: Efficiency Factors

• Powder Formulation: The stability of the product is ensured by the spore form of the microorganisms. The powdered formulation allows for a high concentration of active units per gram, facilitating storage and precise dosing when preparing the working solution.
• Synergistic Action: In addition to directly suppressing fungal and bacterial infections (such as downy mildew and powdery mildew), the product acts as a growth stimulant. The metabolic products of these bacteria activate plant enzymatic systems, leading to improved uptake of mineral nutrients and, consequently, increased total yield.
• Application Methods: The technological flexibility of the product allows for use in both soil treatment (direct application to the root zone) and foliar spraying. This versatility covers the requirements of various crops, from vegetables (cucumber, bell pepper) and field crops (soy, sunflower) to permanent crops (fruit trees, walnut).

The product is classified as low-hazard (Class 4), making it safe for the environment and beneficial insects. It is crucial to note that maximum efficiency is achieved through proper preparation of the tank mixture; maintaining the correct temperature and water pH is critical to preserving the viability of the spores.
