Environmentally Safe

PHYTON-27/24 is an Environmentally Friendly Product. It is safe for operator, domestic animals, etc. PHYTON-27/24 is biodegraded rapidly in the environment and inside the plant. Also, it does not cause pest resistance and can be used in rotation with other chemical pesticides to delay pest resistance development of chemical pesticides. PHYTON-27/24 is an Environmental friendly product that is approved for use in Organic Cropping. Because of the systemic effect of PHYTON-27/24, it reduces by 98% the Cu amount going in to the environment when using conventional copper fungicides.

EPA Exempt and Organic Cropping

The active ingredient of PHYTON-27/24 is exempt of tolerance of residue in treated crops by the US-EPA, so PHYTON-27/24 can be used in the Export Crops, without the problems of illegal pesticide residues. Also, PHYTON-27/24 is approved and recommended for used in Organic Cropping.

How does it works

Because of the patented process, makes possible the systemic action of PHYTON-27/24 in the plants. This process makes the Copper Sulfate Pentahydrate be absorbed systemically in the plant and “protect internally” against the bacterial and fungus diseases. In the conventional copper fungicides, the active ingredient stays outside the plants as a “protectant”. Because of the systemic effect of PHYTON-27/24, it reduces by 98% the Copper amount applied to crops and sprayed into the environment when using conventional copper fungicides.

PHYTON-27/24 have been effectively used for the control of 150 diseases (bacteria and fungus) in over 145 crops worldwide, such as ornamental, vegetables, herbs, cereals, raw crops, forest, fruits trees, export crops such as coffee, sugarcane, plantain, banana, etc.

Preharvest Intervals

There is no preharvest interval, because the active ingredient is exempt from tolerance of residues. PHYTON-27/24 can be sprayed the same day of harvest.

Application

PHYTON-27/24 can be used in the same frequency as other insecticides in a Pest Management Program (every 5-7 Days).

To improve and maximize the performance of PHYTON-27/24, it is recommended to add first PH-PLUS to the mixing tanks to improve the quality of the spraying water solution and then add the recommended rate of PHYTON-27/24 to the mixing tank.

PH-PLUS reduces the pH (4.5-5.5) and softens (neutralizing carbonate salts) the spraying water solution. Water Alkalinity and Hardness will make PHYTON-27/24 biologically inactive.
