Polyversum-Biogarden fungicide for plant protection, 5 g

The product in the form of a wettable powder containing a so-called smart fungus serves to protect plants from fungal diseases. The oospores of the soil microorganism Pythium oligandrum represent a smart fungus with fungicidal effects against many fungal diseases, including for example, potato blight on potatoes, cucumbers, and tomatoes. Polyversum functions as a parasitic fungus, whose filaments penetrate directly into the cells of the pathogenic fungus and siphon off the necessary nutrients. Pythium does not attack the plants themselves; it exclusively parasitizes on fungi.

When applying, it is necessary to follow the instructions. The product can be applied in several ways: as a drench, as a spray on leaves, by soaking roots, cuttings, and whole plants, and also by soaking seeds.

• the use of this preparation is 100% ecological and features reliable effects
• mycoparasitism – there is a breakdown of the stems of phytopathogens and nutrient absorption for its own nutrition
• induction of resistance – secondary metabolites stimulate the formation of biochemical and morphological barriers
• growth stimulation – secondary metabolites promote the production of growth phytohormones
• due to the biological principle of functioning, there is no risk of overdosing treated plants.

It is important to soak the preparation in water for about 20 minutes to half an hour before the actual application to activate the oospores. This suspension should be consumed within 10 hours.

The product can be used at home for most houseplants, in the garden for edible crops (e.g., strawberries, cucumbers, potatoes, poppy, sunflowers, and others) and in field agriculture (e.g., rapeseed).

Use plant protection products safely. Always read the label and product information before use.

Methods of applying the Polyversum Biogarden fungicide:

Drench:

Drench with a 0.05% suspension of the product. This means 1 g of powder (about a teaspoon) in 2 liters of water. We dose approximately 5 ml of the suspension on a seedling. There is no danger in exceeding the dosage. The main goal is to initially support the growth of young plants, protect them from soil mycopathogens, and induce resistance to potato blight.

Spray:

Spray with a 0.05% suspension, prepared in the same way as for drenching. It is recommended to also pass the suspension through a filter (an old clean stocking is sufficient) to prevent possible clogging of the spray nozzles. Spray only in calm conditions or a light breeze, downwind and away from other people.

Soaking seedlings/roots of plants:

Soak the root ball of seedlings in the prepared 0.05% suspension just before planting (alternatively, the trays with seedlings can be drenched with the suspension).

Seed soaking

5 grams is sufficient for 1 kg of seed. It is enough to mix the seed with the preparation. The product serves as protection against damping off of seedlings.

For strawberries, treatment is carried out at planting against root rots and during the growing season against gray mold on the fruits. For cucumbers, the smart fungus can be applied against fungal diseases starting from seed sowing through seed soaking and then continue with drenches or sprays. This preparation also provides effective protection against diseases like sclerotinia rot, gray mold, or alternaria leaf spot that attack sunflowers.

When establishing vineyards, soaking the root system has proven effective. An advantage of the product is its long shelf life, with the lifespan of the oospores of the microorganism Pythium oligandrum reaching two years.

Crops:

Potatoes, seed potatoes, cruciferous vegetables, hops, sugar beet, mustard, peas, strawberry, spring barley, chestnut, fodder beet, lupin, poppy, cucumber, pepper, wheat, tomato, oilseed radish, rapeseed, vine, forest and ornamental nurseries, sunflowers, soybeans, golf and ornamental lawns, triticale, vegetables, rye.

Diseases:

Alternaria leaf spot, anthracnose, pea anthracnose, black rot of rapeseed, blackening of stem bases, red rot, fomopsis rot of rapeseed, fusarium of ears, phytophthora rot, helminthosporiosis, common tan spot, fungal diseases, root diseases, seedling fungal diseases, ink disease of chestnut, potato root rot, potato blight, hop mold, poppy mold, gray mold, cabbage mold, rusts, sticky smut of wheat, sugar beet scab, stem blight.
