Fytosol
Biocontrol plant defence inducer for natural protection against potato late blight
Stimulates the plant’s natural defenses with innovative COS-OGA technology
Fytosol® is a next-generation biocontrol plant defence inducer developed by FytoFend as a biosolution to protect potato crops from late blight (Phytophthora infestans). It enhances plant immunity naturally and safely, through a patented COS-OGA-based formula.
Key benefits:
Improved yield potential: Stronger foliar protection leads to better tuber production.
Proven efficacy: Delays and reduces late blight symptoms in potato crops.
Unique biostimulant action: Prevents the pathogen from hijacking the salicylic acid (SA) defense pathway.
Sustainable disease control: 2 to 3 preventive applications boost protection with cumulative effects.
Residue-free assurance: Compatible with organic farming, zero-residue programs, and low-input agriculture.
Scientific mode of action
Fytosol® regulates SA levels to prevent overaccumulation that P. infestans can exploit. This fine-tuned balance keeps the plant alert and responsive across different stages of infection. FytoSol® transiently activates defense genes while preserving overall plant metabolism.
Application guidelines
- Target crops: Potato and Tomato
- Recommended use: 2 to 3 preventive applications before high-risk infection periods
- Dose rate: 4 L/ha in solo or 2.5 L/ha in mixture with other registered plant protection products
Integration in crop protection programs
As a biosolution developed by Fytofend, Fytosol® is designed to meet the demands of both organic and conventional growers seeking high-performance alternatives or additional tools to synthetic inputs.
FytoSol® is ideal for integrated pest management (IPM) strategies. It complements partial tolerance in cultivars and enhances the performance of reduced-dose conventional fungicide programs. It’s particularly effective for farmers aiming to transition to more sustainable and residue-free agriculture.
Scientific evidence
A peer-reviewed study by the University of Namur (Plant Pathology, 2018) demonstrated that:
- Fytosol® fully blocked symptom development even under severe necrotrophic conditions under controlled conditions.
- It fine-tunes hormone signaling (SA, Jasmonic acid, Ethylene) better than other plant defence inducers.
- It transiently activates key plant defense genes without disrupting growth or development.
