Polypeptides ASFBIOF01-02

Description

Mode of action

Polypeptides ASFBIOF01-02 represent a group of bioactive peptide compounds that function as natural elicitors of plant immune responses. The action of these substances is based on the specific recognition of peptide fragments by receptors on the plant cell plasma membranes.

Upon entering plant tissues, these polypeptides trigger signaling cascades that activate primary and secondary defense genes. This promotes the accumulation of phytoalexins, phenolic compounds, and enzymes that strengthen cell walls against pathogen penetration.

In addition to their protective function, the ASFBIOF01-02 group activates the synthesis of endogenous hormones responsible for growth and development processes. This allows the plant to recover faster from damage and optimizes energy metabolism during photosynthesis.

The effectiveness of the impact is closely linked to the concentration of active molecules and the ontogenetic phase of the treated crop. The substances act as powerful inducers of Systemic Acquired Resistance (SAR), making them essential in environmentally friendly protection systems.

Unlike classical fungicides, these polypeptides do not exert a direct toxic effect on pathogens. Their activity is aimed at mobilizing the plant's own hidden reserves to combat both biotic and abiotic stresses.

What it targets

The group of polypeptides is used to increase the resistance of agricultural crops to a wide range of phytopathogens, including fungal, bacterial, and viral diseases. They are particularly effective in preventing rot, spotting, and powdery mildew infections.

Products based on this group are used as anti-stress agents when crops are exposed to extreme temperatures, drought, or phytotoxicity following the application of pesticides. Using polypeptides helps plants endure transplant stress and nutrient deficiencies more easily.

Rates and timing

Application rates for Polypeptides ASFBIOF01-02 vary depending on the method of application: foliar feeding or fertigation. The optimal effect is achieved with double treatment at intervals of 10–14 days during critical stages of development.

For foliar treatment, it is recommended to prepare a working solution with a concentration corresponding to the manufacturer's regulations for the specific crop. It is important to ensure uniform wetting of the entire leaf surface for complete absorption of the preparation.

When used in drip irrigation systems, rates are calculated based on the root zone area. It is recommended to apply the product in the morning or evening hours to avoid the impact of direct ultraviolet radiation on the active molecules.

Restrictions

The use of polypeptides requires strict adherence to temperature regimes: biological activity decreases at critically low (below +5°C) or extremely high (above +35°C) ambient temperatures.

It is not recommended to mix products of this group in a single tank mix with strong oxidizing agents or bacterial fungicides, as this may denature the protein structure of the active substance. Always perform a compatibility test before application.
