Microbiological biopharmaceutical “Phytopsin” is intended to protect agricultural plants from fungal and bacterial diseases, caterpillars of leaf-eating pests (tortrix of leaf rollers, geometer moths (Geometridae), snout moths or grass moths, owlet moths, codling moth (Cydia pomonella), etc.) by means of pre-sowing seed treatment and spraying the vegetative plants.

Biopharmaceutical “Phytopsin"” is a fungicide-insecticidal drug containing in its composition 2 strains of bacteria Pseudomonas aureofaciens, as well as biologically active substances, which are produced in the process of production cultivation.

How it works

Bacteria Pseudomonas aureofaciens, entering the soil together with the treated seeds, actively occupy the rhizosphere (root system) of plants and, feeding on the root secretions, produce enzymes, and antibiotics that inhibit the development of phytopathogens. When processing vegetative plants they show antimicrobial, fungicidal and entomopathogenic activity.

The bacteria Pseudomonas aureofaciens are producers of essential for plants amino acids, cytochromes and vitamins. They live symbiotrophically on the surface of the roots, stimulating the growth and development of plants, and ensure the passage of phases acceleration of plant development, an increase of biomass (including the surface area of ​​the leaves), and an increase of crop output. Due to the phenazine pigments complex synthesis, they inhibit development of pathogens of fungal and bacterial diseases and protect plants against infection when applied to the seeds before sowing, introducing into the soil and when spraying on the leaf surface. By means of synthesis of entomopathogenic toxin, plants are protected from caterpillars of the I-II ages, leaf rollers, cankerworms (Geometridae), pyralid moths (Pyralididae), seedworm (Laspeyresia), owlet moths.

How to apply

Seed treatment with the biodrug “Phytopsin” shall be conducted on the day or 1-2 days before sowing.

Spraying the plants. Before use, be sure to shake the drug to get a homogeneous mass. The needed amount of drug is to be strained into the sprayer and add water.

Application norms. For 1 hectare pour at least 200-300 liters of working solution. Treatments are carried out after 6 pm prophylactically before the disease outbreak or at the beginning of pest regeneration. Repeat treatments every 7-10 days.

To reduce losses from diseases during winter storage, phytopsin is applied to treat repositories, containers, apples, potatoes, cabbage, root crops of carrots, beetroots and other vegetables at a rate of 2-3 liters of drug mixture per 1 ton of products.
