LALSTOP Contans WG
Actively reduce the amount of sclerotia in contaminated topsoils
Protect your plants from sclerotia of Sclerotinia sclerotiorum and Sclerotinia minor. These fungi are responsible for white mold lesions causing crop wilting and death. causing severe economic losses. LALSTOP CONTANS WG significantly reduces the expression of symptoms on sensitive crops by reducing the level of inoculum in contaminated topsoils.Targeted pests:

MODES OF ACTION
Following the application of LALSTOP CONTANS WG, its incorporation into the soil allows the contained spores to make contact with the sclerotia.
The germinating spores of C. minitans CON/M/91-08 then penetrate these sclerotia through their germ tube (secretion of ß-1.3-glucanases) and produce a mycelium.
This mycelium attacks and destroys the sclerotia. Infected sclerotia are then unable to generate apothecia or produce mycelium of Sclerotinia spp.
