FITOPLAZMIN

A biological shield against bacterial diseases

When tomato plants in fields or greenhouses start to wilt rapidly and classic copper-based fungicides prove ineffective, "Phytoplasmin" offers a targeted solution. Unlike traditional products, this systemic agent is specifically formulated to combat bacterial pathogens rather than fungal ones.

Why it works where others fail

The core strength of this product lies in its ability to move systematically through the plant's vascular system. Unlike contact agents that merely coat the leaf surface, the active ingredients in "Phytoplasmin" penetrate deep into the plant tissue. This makes it an essential tool for managing vascular bacterial diseases:

• Bacterial wilt: quickly halts the spread of infection through conductive vessels.
• Bacterial canker: prevents the development of ulcers and necrosis on stems.
• Stolbur: suppresses symptoms and limits the progression of the pathogen.

Practical application insights

Supplied as a water-soluble concentrate, the product is easy to prepare for tank mixes. To achieve optimal results, it is crucial to strictly adhere to the application rate of 2–4 l/ha. Classified as a low-hazard (class 4) product, it is relatively safe for the ecosystem. However, users must follow the protocol: no more than 3 treatments per season, ensuring a 10-day pre-harvest interval.

Who is this for?

"Phytoplasmin" is designed for professional growers cultivating tomatoes on an industrial scale. It is the ideal choice when the risk of bacterial epiphytotics becomes critical. Its primary advantage is its specialized action against bacteria, while its limitation is the requirement for preventive or early-stage application, as stopping tissue necrosis in advanced infection stages is virtually impossible.
