3. various oily (vegetable or paraffinic) preparations: against overwintering insects such as mites, aphids, shield aphids

4. agents containing a combination of these e.g. copper + oil, sulphur + oil, copper + sulphur, copper + sulphur + oil

Spraying 🍄 with Tricho Immune

At this time of year, i.e. when pruning fruit trees a Tricho Immunand then repeat the treatment again (at the latest until flowering) when the plant is already in the lomblevel stage. 

VIDEO: Tricho Immun contains two Trichoderma fungal strains that live in the tissues of the plant: Trichoderma simmonsii and Trichoderma afroharzianum.

The ingredients of the fungal preparation were isolated from Furmint grapes from Tokaj, infected with grape scab but showing no symptoms. In trials conducted since 2015, researchers have discovered a number of interesting findings that are also useful in home gardens, such as the inhibition of the following pathogens and the absence or absence of symptoms:

• nuts Botryosphaeria dothiodea, Diaporthe eres
• vines Diplodia seriata, Eutypa lata, Neofusicoccum parvum, Alternaria alternata, Fomitiporia sp. 
• sea buckthorn Fusarium poliferatum
• chies Monilinia laxa, Monilinia fructigena, Colletotrichum acutatum, Leucostoma persoonii
• plum Monilinia fructigena, Monilinia fructicola
• alma Venturia inaequalis
• caysi Verticillium sp.
• peaches Taphrina infestans

(In addition, many ornamental plants and vegetables could be listed, but preventive control against their pathogens is timely later)
