Organic Fungicide – Biopesticides
Description
Organic fungicides harness the power of nature to protect plants from fungal diseases. They rely on naturally occurring compounds, beneficial microorganisms, and plant-based extracts to prevent and control fungal infections. By avoiding synthetic chemicals, these fungicides minimize harm to the environment and promote a healthier ecosystem in agricultural settings.
पौधों को फंगल रोगों से बचाने के लिए जैविक कवकनाशी प्रकृति की शक्ति का उपयोग करते हैं। वे फंगल संक्रमण को रोकने और नियंत्रित करने के लिए प्राकृतिक रूप से पाए जाने वाले यौगिकों, लाभकारी सूक्ष्मजीवों और पौधे-आधारित अर्क पर भरोसा करते हैं। सिंथेटिक रसायनों से बचकर, ये कवकनाशी पर्यावरण को होने वाले नुकसान को कम करते हैं और कृषि सेटिंग में एक स्वस्थ पारिस्थितिकी तंत्र को बढ़ावा देते हैं।
MECHANISM OF ACTION
- Disruption of Fungal Cell Walls: Organic fungicides weaken fungal cell walls, leading to cell leakage and eventually, fungal cell death.
- Inhibition of Spore Germination: They inhibit the germination of fungal spores, preventing the establishment of fungal infections.
- Interference with Fungal Growth: Organic fungicides disrupt key metabolic processes in fungi, hindering their growth and development.
- Induction of Plant Defense: Some organic fungicides can stimulate the plant’s natural defense mechanisms, making it more resistant to fungal attacks.
- Reduction of Mycelium Growth: They can slow down the spread of fungal mycelium within plant tissues.
- Biocontrol Microorganisms: Some organic fungicides contain beneficial microorganisms that compete with and suppress harmful fungi.
- Anti-fungal Compounds: Organic fungicides may contain natural compounds that have antifungal properties.
- Minimal Environmental Impact: They are less harmful to the environment and non-target organisms compared to synthetic chemical fungicides.
- Residue Breakdown: Many organic fungicides break down rapidly, reducing the risk of residue buildup in crops.
DOSE OF Organic fungicide
- Foliar application- 100 gm in 15-liter water
BENEFITS OF Organic fungicide
- Environmentally Friendly: Organic fungicides are derived from natural sources, reducing harm to the environment.
- Safe for Beneficial Organisms: They are less harmful to beneficial insects and organisms.
- Reduced Chemical Residues: Organic fungicides leave fewer chemical residues on crops.
- Compliance with Organic Standards: Suitable for use in organic farming practices.
- Healthier Soil: They can contribute to improved soil health and microbial diversity.
- Lower Human Toxicity: Generally safer for farmworkers, consumers, and communities.
CROPS
- Fruits, Vegetables, Nuts, Berries, Herbs, Field Crops, Legumes, Ornamental Plants and Greenhouse Crops.
