BactoFit

Biological barrier: how Baktofit functions

The product is based on a strain of Bacillus subtilis bacteria, shifting it from conventional chemicals to the class of biofungicides. Its contact action creates a protective film on plant surfaces. Upon contact with fungal spores or bacterial cells, the metabolites of Bacillus subtilis block their respiratory processes and compromise pathogen cell walls.

Technical specifications of the formulation

Baktofit is a suspension concentrate designed for stable distribution within tank mixtures. The suspension form is critical for contact plant protection products, ensuring uniform coverage of the leaf blade without the risk of crystallization or premature shedding of the active substance. Its 4th hazard class allows for application during the final stages of crop ripening without fear of accumulating toxic residues in the produce.

Scope of application and efficacy

The «Bionaservice Plus» technology targets a wide range of pathogens:

• Cereals and legumes: control of fusarium, septoria, and helminthosporium, essential for maintaining a healthy stalk stand.
• Vegetable and fruit crops: protection against late blight, bacteriosis, and powdery mildew.

The product serves as both a preventative treatment and an effective solution during the initial stages of infection, offering flexibility for integrated crop management programs.
