Features & Benefits

Features

The particular HI-TECH formulation gives it a markedly higher resistance to washout than non-formulated bicarbonates. The high tam poses power creates an osmotic pressure on the mushroom wall, deactivating their spore.

Focus On the Product
  • Acts against Oidium, Botrytis, Punctuation and Monilia.
  • It favors the raising of the pH by increasing the osmotic pressure of the leaf surfaces, creating unfavorable conditions for the fungal spores
  • Thanks to the co-formulants it has high adhesiveness to the treated surfaces and considerable resistance to washout, compared to common bicarbonates.
  • Thanks to the particular formulation ARMICARB® 85 creates micro droplets that cling and are distributed evenly on the vegetation.
  • Night humidity or dew tends to reactivate the product and ensure a lasting effect.
