Organic biostimulant FUNGELIX ®

microorganismchitosanliquid

FUNGELIX ® acts as a plant defence inducer (PDI), a natural fungicide, bactericide, nematicide, and plant growth stimulator, enhancing resilience while promoting healthy development. Effective against: - Botrytis cinerea (gray mold) - Alternaria spp. (leaf spot, early blight) - Fusarium spp. (wilt and root rot) - Phytophthora spp. (late blight, root rot) - Rhizoctonia solani (root and stem rot) - Penicillium spp. (postharvest decay) - Powdery mildew (Erysiphe spp., Oidium spp.) - Xanthomonas spp. (bacterial leaf spot, blight) - Pseudomonas syringae (bacterial speck) - Erwinia spp. (soft rot, fire blight) Protection against: - Biotic stress - Heat stress - Cold stress - Salt stress Active Ingredient: Chitosan Net Content: 1 Litre Methods of Application: Foliar spraying (conventional, aerial), Root dipping, Ground watering, Post-harvest treatment, Seed coating Mechanisms of Action: - Enhanced nutrient uptake and mobilisation: Chitosan improves the availability and absorption of essential nutrients by plants, forming complexes with metal ions to make them more soluble and accessible in the soil. - Stimulates root development, increasing root surface area for nutrient and water absorption. - Helps plants cope with various abiotic stresses such as drought, salinity, extreme temperatures, and heavy metal toxicity. - Modulates phytohormone production: Influences synthesis and balance of plant hormones (auxins, gibberellins, cytokinins), improving growth, flowering, and fruit development. - Acts as an elicitor, activating the plant’s natural defense system (SAR), stimulating defense genes and production of protective compounds and enzymes. - Improves soil health by promoting beneficial microorganisms for nutrient cycling and disease suppression. Dual Mode of Action: - Direct antifungal effect: Chitosan disrupts fungal cell membranes, inhibiting spore germination and mycelial growth. - Indirect elicitor effect: Stimulates the plant’s own defense mechanisms (production of phytoalexins, callose, and defensive enzymes). Active combat against fungi, viruses, bacteria, and nematodes via: - Disruption of cell walls - Inhibition of viral and bacterial replication - Binding viral particles to impede entry into host cells - Modifying permeability of nematode cuticles - Damaging nematode eggs Induced systemic resistance from root to shoot: - Stimulation of defense-related enzyme production - Activation of plant symbiotic and immune signaling - Promoting overall plant health Benefits: - Increased crop yield: Promotes vigorous vegetative growth, enhances flowering and fruit set, and improves nutrient use efficiency. - Improved crop quality: Positively influences sensory characteristics of fruits (taste, aroma, texture). Why Choose Fungelix? - Supports high-yielding crops: Helps plants produce metabolites and enzymes required for maximum yield. - Alleviates stresses: Aids plant recovery and reactivation of biochemical processes and enzyme synthesis necessary for growth. - Maintains crops in optimal condition: Nourishes plants with physio-nutritional compounds to support productive cycles and avoid stresses. - Boosts uptake of mineral fertilizers: Improves root activity, enhancing nutrient use efficiency when co-applied with soluble fertilizers. - Improves efficiency of agrochemicals: Facilitates activity and transport of herbicides and fungicides within the plant.
