ecocarb PLUS
Ecocarb PLUS is an organic, dual action fungicide containing potassium bicarbonate and potassium silicate. Ecocarb PLUS is an effective alternative to conventional broad spectrum fungicides and is environmentally safe. Regular applications of Ecocarb Plus have been proven to control powdery mildew in apples, grapes, roses, strawberries, vegetables, as well as rust in geraniums and brown rot in nectarines. Ecocarb PLUS also has a strong suppression effect on downy mildew infection in wine grapes.
- Targets powdery mildew, downy mildew, blackspot and brown rot
- IPM & pollinator compatible
- Zero withholding period
- Zero re-entry restrictions
- Minimal effect on soil biodiversity
Active constituent: 633 g/kg Potassium Bicarbonate, 312 g/kg Potassium Silicate
Ecocarb PLUS is a contact fungicide that works by disrupting the fungus cell, which causes the cell walls to collapse. The potassium silicate in the formulation also adds a preventative effect by increasing the natural resistance of the plant against infection. Ecocarb PLUS effectively combats powdery mildew flag shoots due to its ability to be effective in cooler temperatures. Ecocarb PLUS is safe to use during pollination and in environmentally sensitive areas where other fungicides may leave undesirable residues on flowers and foliage.
DO NOT apply oil sprays within 10 days of applying chlorothalonil.
