Development and production
of biologic plant protection agents

In cooperation, among others with the Federal Swiss Institute of Technology Zurich and the Research Institute of Organic Agriculture (FiBL, Frick, Switzerland), Biophyt Ltd is investigating new plant protection agents and formulations to enhance plant health.

Since January 2003 the new soil bio activator "Biofitac Pf1" can be delivered in Switzerland.

Principle of function

Pseudomonas fluorescens strain "Biophyt Pf1".

This bacterium activates the biological soil life, increases the microbiological equilibrium in the soil and invigorates the plants. Plant grow improves and disease infestations get reduced.

Application

Soil (free field or green house): 1 Litre "Biofitac Pf1" per 100 m2.

After soil steam treatment: use, as soon as soil temperature drops below 40 °C (1 Litre "Biofitac Pf1" per 100 m2).

Compost: 10 Litre per 1 m3 at the beginning or during the ripening process (after heating phase)

Substrate: Incorporate 10 Litre per 1 m3
