Product Description
GENERAL DIRECTIONS
The Triple P® (Plant Promotion Products) range is formulated for the protection of professional plant growth programmes in conjunction with Integrated Pest Management (IPM), Integrated Crop Management (ICM) and Biological Control Programmes.
ELICITEX MIST® is a proprietary mixture of modified plant elicitors in combination with a proprietary blend of optimised biostimulants that delivers highly effective environmentally sustainable protection from pathogenic fungi such as Alternaria solani and Phytophthora infestans (potato and tomato blight), Phytophthora capsici (pepper blight and rot), Alternaria cucumerina (cucurbit leaf blight in cucumber, watermelon and pumpkin), viruses and parasitic nematodes, as well as pest insects such as aphids, whiteflies, thrips, mealybugs, leafhoppers, psyllids, scale insects and archnid or mites such as spider mites.
ELICITEX MIST® contains a novel proprietary combination of food grade pathogen-associated molecular pattern (PAMP) elicitor polysaccharides including, amongst others, chitooligosaccharides (COs) and ß-glucans. These have been modified for optimised binding affinity to transmembrane plant pattern recognition receptors (PRRs) such as Chitin Elicitor Receptor Kinase 1 (CERK1) and by multiple signal transduction pathways act as elicitors and mount numerous plant defence immune responses to biotic and abiotic stress.
ELICITEX MIST® contains multiple polysaccarhides of oligomeric chain length, selected for optimal immune activity and therefore, indirectly protects plants from predation and pathogen attack. ELICITEX MIST® triggers plant defences by inducing complex physiological and biochemical processes. It effectively generates multiple plant defence molecules including phytoalexines and pathogenesis related proteins (PR), proteinase inhibitors, chitinases, chitosanases, glucanases, reactive oxygen species and plant secondary metabolites.
ELICITEX MIST® is biocompatible, biodegradable and uses strategic green chemistry. Foliar application increases abscisic acid (ABA) content, increases stomatal conductance, reduces transpiration and significantly reduces water use without affecting plant height, root length, leaf area or plant biomass. An optimal blend of co-stimulatory elicitors has been selected and this has been combined with biostimulants, synergists, adjuvants and a delivery system for improved plant immunostimulation.
BENEFITS OF ELICITEX MIST® USE
- ELICITEX MIST provides fast and long acting indirect control of plant pathogens (by induction of endogenous defence Plant Secondary Metabolites)
- Fits well with Integrated Pest Management (IPM), Integrated Crop Management (ICM) and Biological Control Programmes.
- Acts as an anti-transpirant and significantly reduces water use (by abscisic acid induction and downstream effects on stomatal conductance).
- It is not harmful to beneficial organisms such as pollinators like bees or organisms which predate on plant pests.
- Active substances are food grade and can be used up to harvest without human toxicity.
- ELICITEX MIST induces disease resistance in Solanum tuberosum L. (potato) by boosting the plant innate and adaptive immunity. Active against potato Soft Rot Pectobacteriaceae (SRP) bacteria (Dickeya, Pectobacterium and Musicola genera). Elicits effective endogenous potato defence activity against the oomycete (omycota) Phytophtora infestans that causes late potato blight and the fungal pathogen Alternaria solani that causes early potato blight.
- Harvested crops have extended shelf lives, thus reducing food waste by delaying crop decay (improving food security).
- Improves soft fruit firmness and induces rapid production of the red anthocyanin pigments in strawberries.
- Rapid and highly efficacious induction of plant secondary metabolites (which include flavonoid anthocyanins, terpenes, phenolics, capsaicinoids, carotenoids and tocopherols) to increase nutritional density and improve organoleptic properties including flavour, smell, colour and customer satisfaction.
- Safe for use on all edible crops and degrades rapidly in the environment.
- Effective as a plant growth promoter, improves tolerance to osmotic, salinity, drought and extreme temperature stresses.
- Rapid and highly efficacious induction of secondary metabolites to improve crop quality, taste, phytochemical induction eg. capsinoids.
- Improves tolerances to osmotic, salinity, drought and extreme temperature stresses.
- Acts as a synergist with plant hormones, giving further growth boosting effects.
- Preconditioning of mother plants improves cloning success.
- It aids growing, regrowth, assists photosynthesis and sustains healthy-looking plants.
