PRESTOP® - roots application

Naturally fight against above ground-diseases (Botrytis and Didymella) and root or base rot diseases (Pythium, Phytophthora, Rhizoctonia and Fusarium).

Prestop® contains mycelia and spores of Gliocladium catenulatum strain J1446, a naturally occurring soil fungus, selected through Lallemand Research for its capacity to control a range of very important crop diseases.

The active fungus Gliocladium catenulatum strain J1446 operates through several useful modes of action:

  • hyperparasitism: production of enzymes which cause the breakdown of cell walls of plant pathogens.
  • competition: quick colonisation of root and aerial parts of the plant depriving pathogenic fungi of living space and nourishment. 

Prestop® can give effective control of a wide variety of plant pathogens:

  • Grey mould and stem cankers caused by Botrytis cinerea on leafy crops, tomatoes, peppers, cucumbers, aromatic plants, ornamentals, strawberries and other soft fruit.
  • Gummy stem blight caused by Didymella sp. on cucumbers.
  • Damping-off and root or base rot diseases caused by Pythium, Phytophthora, Rhizoctonia and Fusarium on vegetables, salads, aromatic plants and ornamentals.

Composition: 2×108 CFU/g (320 g/kg of active ingredient) of spores and mycelium of Gliocladium catenulatum strain J1446. (CFU: Colony Forming Unit. Unit of measure for living microorganisms able to multiply).

Formulation: wettable powder

Organic culture: usable in organic production subject to certification body approval.

Harvest interval: none

Harmful residues: none

Storage: can be stored unopened for 12 months in a cool and dry place below +4°C. It is recommended that all of the contents of the package are used immediately once opened.

       1 kg bag

 

The most efficient way to use Prestop® is preventatively. The active microorganism survives in the rhizosphere and on the aerial parts of plants for several weeks, protecting them against pathogens.

Dose and frequency

For other crops application recommendations: see brochure or crop section.

Compatibility: Prestop® is compatible with many chemical pesticides and can be used in Integrated Pest Management (IPM) programmes.
