FITOLAVIN

Systemic protection against bacterial infections

When working with vegetable and fruit crops, bacterial diseases often become a challenge that traditional copper-based fungicides cannot handle. "Phytolavin" (Fitolavin) from the Estonian manufacturer VEGUMA O is a systemic agent that penetrates directly into plant tissues, working from within. In practice, this means that after application, the active ingredient moves through the vascular system, protecting not only the foliage but also the root zone.

Application and Handling Features

The product comes in the form of a water-soluble concentrate. It dissolves in water without residue, which is critical for modern sprayers—nozzle clogging is eliminated, and tank cleaning is straightforward. It belongs to the 3rd hazard class, requiring standard safety precautions when preparing the working solution.

• Effective against a wide spectrum of pathogens: It excels at suppressing bacterial wilt, soft bacterial rot, and root rot, which often devastate tomato and cucumber yields in greenhouses.
• Orchard and field protection: Highly effective against bacterial fire blight on apple trees and scab. In field conditions, it performs well on potatoes (against alternaria) and cereals.
• Systemic action: Unlike contact fungicides, Phytolavin provides an extended protection period, as it literally permeates the plant's internal structure.

Practical application tips

To achieve the best results, it is essential to follow the recommended timelines. As a systemic fungicide, it works best as a preventive measure or upon the first appearance of symptoms. When treating vineyards or apple orchards, keep in mind that the product penetrates deep into tissues, so monitor dosage carefully to avoid phytotoxicity. The advantage of this product is its ability to manage a complex of diseases, allowing for fewer tank mixes throughout the season.
