Maven Elicitex Mist Defence Biostimulator

Product Description

Elicitex Mist from Maven is a ready-to-use plant defence biostimulator. It delivers highly effective environmentally sustainable protection from pathogens and pests. This product comes in foliar spray form and is designed to deliver effective control of aphids, whiteflies, thrips and spider mites. It can also control a range of other intruders including mealy buds, leafhoppers, psyllids, suckers and scale insects when applied.

Key Features

• Provides fast and long acting indirect control of plant pathogens
• Fits well with IPM, ICM and Biological Control Programmes
• Acts as an antitranspirant and significantly reduces water use
• It is not harmful to beneficial organisms such as pollinators like bees or organisms which predate on plant pests
• Active substances are food grade and can be used up to harvest without human toxicity
• Harvested crops have extended shelf lives, thus reducing food waste by delaying crop decay and improving soft fruit firmness
• Safe for use on all edible crops and degrades rapidly in the environment
• Effective as a plant growth promoter, improves tolerance to osmotic, salinity, drought and extreme temperature stresses
• Rapid and highly efficacious induction of secondary metabolites to improve crop quality, taste, phytochemical induction eg. capsinoids and improve customer satisfaction
• Acts as a synergist with plant hormones, giving further growth-boosting effects
• Preconditioning of mother plants improves cloning success
• It aids growing, regrowth, assists photosynthesis and sustains healthy-looking plants

What It is Used For

It contains a novel proprietary combination of food grade pathogen-associated molecular pattern (PAMP) elicitor polysaccharides and delivers highly effective environmentally sustainable protection from pathogenic fungi such as Alternaria solani and Phytophthora infestans (potato and tomato blight), Phytophthora capsici (pepper blight and rot), Alternaria cucumerina (cucurbit leaf blight in cucumber, watermelon and pumpkin), viruses and parasitic nematodes, as well as pest insect herbivores such as aphids, whiteflies, thrips, mealybugs, leafhoppers, psyllids, scale insects and archnid or mites such as spider mites. ELICITEX MIST is biocompatible, biodegradable and uses strategic green chemistry.

How It Works

It effectively generates and triggers multiple plant defence molecules inducing complex physiological and biochemical processes. Foliar application increases abscisic acid (ABA) content, increases stomatal conductance, reduces transpiration and significantly reduces water use without affecting plant height, root length, leaf area or plant biomass. An optimal blend of co-stimulatory elicitors has been combined with biostimulants, synergists, adjuvants and a delivery system for improved plant immunostimulation.

How To Use Maven Elicitex Mist Defence Biostimulator

Shake well before using. Ensure complete wetting of different areas of the plant including the underside of the leaves. Apply with even coverage with slight runoff. Only treat established plants when fully hydrated.
