FG-R90 is a proprietary blend of quaternised chitosan nano particles (a natural polymer) with extracts of herbs and materials of vegetable origin. Completely biodegradable, this has a very broad spectrum effect and can be one single protector against a wide range of diseases such as wilt, rots, powdery mildew, downey mildew, rice blast, sheath rot etc. In general , both soil and foliar plant pathogens – fungal, bacterial and viral may be controlled by this application. It also boosts the immunity of the plants against disease causing organisms.
FG R90 has been proven to control numerous pre and post harvest diseases on various horticulture commodities.
Microscopical observations indicate that FG R90 has a direct effect on the morphology of the treated microorganisms reflecting its fungistatic or fungicidal potential.
FG R90 has been shown to increase the production of glucanohydrolases, phenolic compounds and synthesis of specific phytoalexins with antifungal activity, and also reduces macerating enzymes such as polygalacturonases, pectin metil esterase etc.
Salient Features:
- Effectively controls all soil borne pathogens when applied as root drench.
- It induces defence reactions in plants, including the induction of chitinase, chitonase and 1,3 glucanase isoforms.
- Foliar application reduces transpiration of plants through partial or full closure of stomata. It equips the plant during draught conditions.
- It directly influences the production of substances related to stress response, such as phytoalexins and chitinases.
- Offers protection for a long time when sprayed.
Usage:
To eliminate diseases like Fusarium wilt, Rhizome Rot and all soil borne diseases, Dilute 2ml/litre of water and drench the root & soil. Spraying 1.5 to 2ml/litre of water every 21 to 30 days will ensure complete protection.
To control all other plant pathogens, Spray 1.5 to 2ml/litre water. Spraying every 21 to 30 days will ensure complete protection.
To control transpiration losses during draught season, spray 1.5 to 2ml/litre water and spraying every 21 to 30 days will ensure complete protection from draught situations.
