A biological
fungicide developed from a naturally occurring
biocontrol microbe
The organism was discovered by researchers at a leading
European University and developed into a user friendly
product by the biocontrol team at Verdera Oy in Finland .
It is now an approved product in over 15 countries.
Key
Highlights:
- Control or suppression of many root rot and wilt pathogenic fungi. Pythium, Fusarium, Alternaria, Phomopsis, Rhizoctonia, Phytophthora, Botrytis. Plants often respond with increased vigor and yield, like a vitamin boost. Safe to apply. Organic approved. Non- phytotoxic. Use on all crops such as vegetables, herbs, ornamentals. Easy application. Small packets store for 1 yr. when refrigerated.
- EPA registered since 1994. Increasingly used by large and small growers.
- Recent price reduction makes it very affordable.

Product Detail
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 roots. In doing
so they create a biological defense against root infecting
pathogenic fungi which cause disease such as wilt and root
rot. Mycostop is used by growers for diseases caused by
Pythium, Fusarium, Rhizoctonia, Alternaria, Phomopsis, and
to a lesser extent for Botrytis and Phytophthora. Mycostop
has particularly good activity against Fusarium.
Mycostop is increasingly used as a seed treatment for
Pythium, Fusarium, and other seedling pathogens.
Mycostop has been shown to increase plant vigor and yields
even in the absence of obvious root pathogen activity. The
explanation is that the Streptomyces produce plant root
stimulating hormones (which has been demonstrated in the
lab) or the Streptomyces control minor root pathogens which
slowly feed on and damage roots.
