Pesticide-free Program Compete Plus A bio-drench of rhizosphere inoculants
A blend of naturally occuring beneficial bacteria, antagonistic fungi and streptomycetes, Compete Plus will safely invigorate your substrate with high concentrations of these soil-dwelling micro-organisms. Routinely applied, via the drip irrigation, to both organic and conventional glasshouse crops resulting in: nutrient cycling and uptake; improved yields; disease management; and enhanced growing media structure. Proven in hydroponic and organic crops to reduce crop stress, improve disease management and increase yield.
Rate: 1-2 Kg/Ha every 2-4 weeks applied through irrigation system
Sentry R
Triggering the plant’s immune system
PHC Sentry R uses the plant’s own disease prevention system to help reduce disease prevalence. We have harnessed this natural defence response and formulated a unique plant extract that contains super-high levels of the intermediates that are one step away from the naturally produced defence response chemicals. Sentry R’s plant extracts are converted by your plant’s own enzyme pathways in to natural defence response chemicals such as phytoalexins (Emodin and Physicon), resveratrol, stilbene, catechin, and anthraquinones. These are key to natural resistance of diseases such as Powdery Mildew, Rust, Botrytis, Bacterial Cankers and Blights. Due to Sentry R being a natural plant extract, there are no residue issues or harvest interval.
Rate: 0.5 - 1% spray volume every 7-10 days to increase natural defences to disease
Harpin – PreTect & ProAct
Crop health, crop quality, crop yield Harpin is being used extensively throughout the world and can be used at different stages of crop production for the following benefits: • Increases photosynthesis and nutrient uptake. • Activates growth mechanisms that result in improved plant vigour, increased plant stamina and an improved stress-defence response. • Actively promotes flower initiation, fruit set and size. • Increases storage time/shelf-life and post-storage quality. • Applied during season through to harvest it has the ability to raise Brix levels, increase shelf-life and increase fruit firmness. • Reduces splitting by increasing calcium movement and availability within the plant. The two Harpin formulations: ProAct – Harpin PreTect – Harpin plus natural blend of slow release micronutrients
Rate: PreTect 2.0 kg/Ha or ProAct 200 g/Ha every two weeks applied as a foliar application
