It was found effective against Rhizoctonia, Sclerotinia, Botrytis and other fungi. and is also effective against different bacteria, Tests for Seeds applications are presently being carried out The formulation is based on microencapsulated essential oils with a slow and controlled release profile with a material composition that conforms to Organic farming regulations
OrganoCide Sachet
Our latest development is a powder formulation of microencapsulated essential oils for post-harvest applications. The powder is packed in a porous Sachet and placed in the delivery boxes of fresh post harvest crops. There is no direct contact between the active ingredient and the crop. The efficacy is based upon the essential oil evaporation and release from the microcapsules that maintains an effective antimicrobial environment for about a couple of weeks. For example in one application it prevents the Botrytis fungus and thus significantly extends the shelf life of fresh fruits and vegetables
