take control of botrytis


TripleX is a world first for BioStart. TripleX is the first commercially released bio-fungicide to use Bacillus Amyloliquefaciens for the control of Botrytis cinerea in grapes, top fruit and vegetables. Botrytis is an aggressive and invasive pathogen affecting many crops causing substantial crop losses.

 

TripleX is powered by a unique dual mode of action, a combination of fermentation extracts and Bacillus amyloliquefaciens BS 1b. The fermentation extracts provide the initial knock down, clearing a pathway for the establishment of the Bacillus amyloliquefaciens. The Bacillus amyloliquefaciens is an aggressive antagonist towards Botrytis. It produces a number of enzymes and antimicrobial compounds that kill any Botrytis it comes in contact with.

 

  • Controls Botrytis Cinerea
  • TripleX has a nil withholding period
  • Can be used right up to harvest

 

TripleX can be applied with most cover and nutritional sprays. Some spreaders may reduce efficacy. For a full compatibility list contact your local BioStart Territory Manager.

 

Pack sizes available: 5 and 20 litre
