Mode of action
Biocomposite PRO, L, is based on live cells of Pseudomonas selected by their ability to suppress the development of various phytopathogens. The protective effect is based on the ability of bacterial cells to produce extracellular metabolites (siderophores, phenazines, etc.) that inhibit the growth of phytopathogenic bacteria and fungi while promoting endogenous immunity. Moreover, bacterial cells produce indolyl-3-acetic acid (IAA, growth promoter) and various organic acids that convert insoluble phosphates in the soil into plant-available forms and produce a variety of phytohormones.
Biocomposite PRO, L, a biological fungicide, provides the best effect against diseases when used both during the pre-sowing seed treatment and growth period.
Pseudomonas bacteria have a systemic effect: they protect all organs of the plant, promote its growth, improve product quality and enhance growth processes, productivity and resistance to various adverse environmental factors. They also have a fungistatic effect, i.e., inhibit the disease at the stage of mycelium growth and sporulation.
Protective effect period
After soaking the seeds, the product acts on the roots of the plants throughout the growing season. The bioproduct acts on the stems and leaves of plants for 10-20 days, depending on the degree of infection and weather conditions.
