How Does it Work?
Phozguard 620 is readily absorbed by the plant and translocated through the plant’s vascular system to all parts of the plant, ensuring effective disease control.
Directly produces fungi toxins to manage pathogens and enhance the immune system of the plant, which makes it capable of fighting diseases on its own!
Mode of Action
Phosphite, which is a biodegradable fungicide, used for disease invasion and prevention:
- Phosphites trigger molecular reactions within the plant cell
- Activates plants’ immune system and defense mechanisms
- Suppresses spore formation
- Recognition of disease by plant cell
- Phosphite encourages defensive molecules, such as phytoalexins, to attack the disease directly.
- The plant’s self-defense mechanism alerts the rest of the plant to start producing other compounds increasing plant resistance to infection or attack by other pathogens
- These responses are called systemic required resistance (SAR) and induced resistance (IR)
I bought the phosguard 600 for use with my private orchid collection. The directions for use were a little unclear for me as to mixing ratios for folia spraying and possibly drenching the pots with a diluted solution. If you could clarify this I would be grateful. Thanks Richard
