Biofungicides

As a result of rigorous research and trials, Donaghys' Animal and Plant team are happy to offer an alternative to traditional fungicides used in the vineyard.  Used post veraison, FoliActive aids control of Botrytis with no residue or witholding issues.  Utilising optimal microbial fermentation, Donaghys biofungicides also bring high levels of beneficial compounds for stimulating plant and soil micro-organisms. 

In short, we help nature to help you and help your bottom line.

Foliactive

FoliActive is a biofungicide containing a dual mode of action.  Live Bacillus subtilus strains provide protection from Botrytis and Powdery Mildew during times of low disease infection pressure.  Effective bacterial establishment is aided by Donaghys unique fermentation extracts, ensuring rapid colonisation on plant and fruit.  These microbial extracts and foliar fertilisers also promote plant growth and plant health leading to improved natural disease resistance.

Foliactive is ACVM Registered as a biofungicide and a plant growth regulator.
