How it works
The mode of action of Dustacida upon plant pathogenic fungi and bacteria is the alteration of the cell membrane and inhibition of cellular respiration. The product possesses the ability to inhibit and control fungal and bacterial growth at labeled application rates.
Its dry powder formula is another important advantage compared to fungicides applied with water, because humidity is an important spreading factor of fruit rots caused by Botrytis cinerea and other similar fungus or bacteria.
Also available as a ready to use formula.
