AgraQuest introduces BIO-TAM fungicide for control of soil diseases
AgraQuest, Inc. has added BIO-TAM fungicide to its line of soil and foliar products. BIO-TAM is labeled for a wide range of crops, including cucurbits, leafy vegetables and root and tuber vegetables such as carrots, and will be available to growers immediately.
A soil fungicide, BIO-TAM combines two species of Trichoderma fungi, Trichoderma asperellum and Trichoderma gamsii, for the control of soil borne diseases. This combination allows BIO-TAM to protect crops under varying environmental conditions.
“Once applied, BIO-TAM quickly colonizes the soil and competes with plant-pathogenic fungi for critical nutrients and space. Additionally, BIO-TAM attacks the cell walls of pathogens, actively inhibiting disease infection,” said Ken Phelps, North American Marketing Manager for AgraQuest. “This bi-modal activity of BIO-TAM fungicide improves crop quality and yields by enhancing overall root health, while promoting water and nutrient uptake.”
The naturally occurring active ingredients of BIO-TAM help growers manage soil diseases and maximize the health of their crops.
