Fosphite is a systemic fungicide for controlling downy mildew, Phytophthora, and Pythium on crops.
Registered as a reduced risk pesticide by US EPA, Fosphite acts systemically for several weeks with a four-hour re-entry interval and a zero-day pre-harvest interval.
The active ingredients in Fosphite break down the metabolism and cell wall components of pathogens. Fosphite then goes on to slow pathogen growth and inhibit their sporulation. By reducing pathogenic growth rate this allows plant defense systems extra time to develop and kill invading organisms. Fosphite enables plants to recognize pathogens and quickly raise their own natural defenses against them.
Control various diseases on crops, ornamentals, and bedding plants with Fosphite safe and superior disease protection.
