MYCOSTOP
Provides effective suppression on a wide range of pathogens creating a biological defense against seed and soil-borne pathogens.
Product details
Developed from a naturally occurring bacteria, Streptomyces Strain K61, Mycostop is a preventative product that thrives in the rhizosphere for several weeks. 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.

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
