Lifegard WG Biological Plant Activator bag (1 lb)

The active ingredient of LifeGard WG is a naturally occurring bacterium Bacillus mycoides isolate J (BmJ). Instead of the traditional approach of attacking disease directly, the naturally occurring ingenious mode of action triggers the plant’s built-in immune system. When triggered by application, plants “switch on” resistance genes, causing a cascade of plant metabolic responses that limit infection and disease development. LifeGard’s activation of a plant’s immune response is known as induced resistance, or IR. it is a highly effective mode of action for limiting infection and the development of bacterial and fungal diseases.

• Improves crop quality without compromising yield with over 20 years of trials showing no phytotoxicity
• Easy to use formulation that can alternate or mix with a broad list of fungicides and bactericides
• “Switches on” the plant’s built-in immune defenses by eliciting an IR response in
  plants to help fight against bacterial, viral and fungal diseases
• Low risk of developing resistance, the first fungicide in its class (FRAC P6)
• A residue exempt material with a 4 hour REI and a 0 day PHI
