CASE STUDIES
Mitigate Challenging Diseases
Banana – Sigatoka – Ecuador
In-vitro test of fungicides with OCC.
Fungicide efficacies improve with various dosages of OCC.
✓A fungicide developed for the control of Sigatoka was ineffective.
✓The efficacies improved in all three new formulas with added OCC against the original formula.
Summary
✓The efficacies improved in all three new formulas with added OCC against the original formula.
Blackberry_Fusarium Root Rot – Mexico
Laboratory test before field implementation of zero residue mitigation.
Successfully mitigate all soil-borne pathogens.
✓ Blackberry farm infested with soil-borne fungal pathogens and nematodes.
✓ Soil drench was tested to assess the outcome.
✓ All harmful fungal pathogens and nematodes were mitigated without harming beneficial fungi.
Summary
✓ Soil drench was tested to assess the outcome.
✓ All harmful fungal pathogens and nematodes were mitigated without harming beneficial fungi.
Grapevines_Mitigation of GTD – Spain
Two-season program to mitigate ESCA grapevine trunk disease.
A zero-residue approach to protection management of grapevines
✓ Eliminate grapevine trunk disease symptoms in one season.
✓ Includes an In-vitro test by SARDI of Australia comparing the solution with an industry-standard fungicide to mitigate Eutypa dieback.
✓ Includes the zero-residue spray approach to adopt in the fields.
Summary
✓ Includes an In-vitro test by SARDI of Australia comparing the solution with an industry-standard fungicide to mitigate Eutypa dieback.
✓ Includes the zero-residue spray approach to adopt in the fields.
Latex Rubber_Bark Necrosis – Thailand
Reverse Bark Necrosis Syndrome.
Earlier production of latex from young trees.
✓ The systemic mode of action of OCC improved the efficacy of bio-fungicides.
✓ Young rubber trees started producing latex in their third year instead of the typical sixth year.
Summary
✓ Young rubber trees started producing latex in their third year instead of the typical sixth year.
Papaya_Mitigate Ring Spot Virus – Thailand
Improved efficacy of bio-fungicides.
Reverse symptoms within weeks.
✓ The systemic action and encapsulation characteristics of OCC vastly improved bio-fungicides' efficacy, which was ineffective.
✓ Includes a new zero-residue spray approach as an option.
Summary
✓ Includes a new zero-residue spray approach as an option.
Plum_Sharka-Plum Pox Virus – Spain
OCC improved an ineffective fungicide.
Significantly reduce infection rate in the orchard.
✓ The orchard in Murcia has had an average infection rate of 30% over the past seasons using the same cocktails of fungicides.
✓ The infection rate was down to 4% with the inclusion of OCCbased biostimulant in the spray mix.
Summary
✓ The infection rate was down to 4% with the inclusion of OCCbased biostimulant in the spray mix.
