A live micro-organism crop aid approved for use on organic crops in the EU.
The effect of FOXY is to prevent the occurrence of plant fusariosis, thanks to the colonization of the plant by the beneficial fungi Fusarium oxysporum contained in FOXY. Because spores of disease-causing fungi can survive in the soil for up to several years, it is recommended to use FOXY when fungal diseases have appeared in previous years, even if there are no disease symptoms at present. In the mix are several other beneficial fungal and bacterial species that compete with pathogens by producing secondary metabolites, competing for space and absorbing nutrients.
The microorganisms contained in FOXY contribute to the development of the root system by accelerating the proliferation of root cells. The product should be applied preventively before the appearance of disease symptoms on the plants.
Application:
Before use, dilute in water and mix with CARBOGEN L, then let stand for 12-24 h for activation of microorganisms contained in the formulation. This activation will allow the microorganisms to realize their full potential, it will also allow them to start working immediately in the soil or on the plant and ensure longer activity. FOXY should not be combined with chemical preparations. It can be used at the same time with other mycorrhizal preparations, but in this situation the activation itself should be carried out in separate containers.
