MYCOSTOP
A safe and reliable means of protecting your crops against pathogens
Developed from a naturally occurring bacteria, Streptomyces strain K61, MYCOSTOP is a preventative product that thrives in the rhizosphere for several weeks and provides effective control on a wide range of pathogens including damping-off caused by various fungi, such as Alternaria and Rhizoctonia solani; and wilt and root diseases caused by Fusarium, Phytophthora and Pythium. When applied as a drench or spray, the dried spores and mycelium of the Streptomyces culture in MYCOSTOP germinate and begin to grow on and around the plant root system. This creates a biological defense against seed and soil-borne pathogens.

MYCOSTOP provides effective control on a wide range of pathogens including:
- Damping-off caused by various fungi, such as Alternaria and Rhizoctonia solani; and
- Wilt and root diseases caused by Fusarium, Phytophthora and Pythium.
Mode of Action
- Competition: Deprives pathogenic fungi of space and nourishment by colonizing the plant roots
- Hyperparasitism: Produces enzymes, which disrupts the cell walls of pathogens
- Metabolites: Inhibits plant pathogens
Application Methods
Applied as an aqueous suspension via:
- Growing media treatment
- Drip irrigation
- Drench or sprayed onto the growing medium
- Dry seed treatment
- Bulb and cutting dip
