BioWorks Introduces New Biofungicide

BioWorks has introducedPreFence, a new organic biological fungicide that effectively controls a wide range of pathogens: damping-off caused by various fungi, such as Alternaria and Rhizoctonia solani; wilt and root diseases caused by Fusarium, Phytophthora and Pythium. PreFence can also be used to suppress gray mold caused by Botrytis.

PreFence contains mycelium and spores of Streptomyces strain K61, a naturally occurring bacterial strain isolated from Sphagnum peat.

The wettable powder is mainly used in the form of an aqueous suspension.
It may be applied by any of the following methods: drip irrigation, drenching or spraying onto the growing medium, incorporating into the growing medium, as a dry seed treatment, or as a bulb and cutting dip.

PreFence is a product that features well in programs with RootShield PLUS+and CEASE/MilStop. It is safe for beneficials and is compatible with many chemical inputs.
