AGTIV Defend Enhances Plant Protection with Bacillus.
AGTIV Defend, integrated into PRO-MIX growing media, offers robust protection for plants against root pathogens using Bacillus bacteria. This process begins when Bacillus bacteria multiply on the plant’s roots, using sugars supplied by the plant for nourishment.
As the bacteria grow, they create a biofilm that contains lipopeptides—biofungicidal molecules that safeguard the entire root system. This protective layer helps ensure that plants can absorb nutrients effectively while defending against harmful pathogens.
