About this product
Polyversum WP Biological Fungicide: Advanced Protection and Growth Stimulation for Your Crops
Polyversum WP Biological Fungicide is an innovative, eco-friendly solution designed to protect your crops from a wide range of fungal and bacterial diseases while promoting healthy growth. This powerful wettable powder (WP) formulation contains germinable oospores of Pythium oligandrum, a naturally occurring microorganism known for its unique modes of action against phytopathogens. By harnessing the biological properties of Pythium oligandrum, Polyversum WP provides a dual function: it acts as a potent biological fungicide and a plant growth stimulator.
Active Substance:
The active ingredient in PolyVersum WP is Pythium oligandrum, a beneficial fungus that works through multiple mechanisms to protect and enhance plant health. Each gram of the product contains 1 x 10^6 germinable oospores, ensuring effective and consistent performance across various crop types.
Modes of Action:
- Mycoparasitism: Pythium oligandrum targets and decomposes the tissue of harmful phytopathogens by producing hydrolytic enzymes. This process not only neutralizes the pathogens but also provides nutrients for the fungus’s growth, effectively reducing the threat of disease.
- Induction of Resistance: The secondary metabolites produced by Pythium oligandrum stimulate the plant’s natural defenses, inducing the production of both morphological and biochemical barriers. This enhanced resistance helps the plant ward off attacks from a variety of fungal and bacterial diseases.
- Growth Stimulation: In addition to its protective properties, Pythium oligandrum promotes the production of growth phytohormones through its secondary metabolites, leading to healthier, more vigorous plants with improved yield potential.

Step-by-Step Guide to Using Polyversum WP Biological Fungicide
Step 1: Preparation
- Read the Instructions: Before use, carefully read the product label and brochure to understand the specific application rates and timing for your particular crops.
- Mixing: Prepare the fungicide by diluting the required amount of Polyversum WP in water, following the recommended dosage. Stir thoroughly to ensure a uniform suspension.
Step 2: Application
- Apply to Soil or Foliage: Polyversum WP can be applied directly to the soil or as a foliar spray, depending on the target disease and crop type. Ensure even coverage to maximize the effectiveness of the fungicide.
- Timing: Apply at the first signs of disease or as a preventative measure during favorable conditions for disease development. Reapply as necessary according to the crop’s growth stage and disease pressure.
Step 3: Post-Application
- Monitor Crops: After application, monitor your crops for signs of disease and overall growth. The effects of Polyversum WP on disease suppression and growth stimulation will become evident as the plants develop.
- Reapplication: Depending on disease pressure and environmental conditions, you may need to reapply Polyversum WP to maintain its protective and growth-promoting effects.
