Solution Sheet
How Botector works

Microscratches on the plant’s surface provide a natural entry point to gray mold (Botrytis cinerea). These scratches are colonised immediately after applying the highly effective microrganism (Aureobasidum pullulans).

The rapid proliferation of Aureobasidum pullulans consumes available nutrients and inhibits the development of Botrytis

The microscratch is sealed by Aureobasidum pullulans, which acts as a natural shield and prevents Botrytis cinerea from infecting the plant.
