Protection against mold

Fungicides and effective protection against mold and fungi. Acute solutions and prevention of plants from fungal diseases. Effective plant protection.

Molds are classified as phytopathogenic fungi. They cause disease and are dangerous for the entire plant. They can attack roots, leaves, flowers and fruits. On leaves, it usually appears on the upper side of the leaves, which look like they are powdered. Protection against molds is quite difficult.

Mold thrives best in a humid environment, so don't let the humidity in your grow room get too high. It is known that some plant species are more resistant, while others are more susceptible. Mold can destroy your entire crop, so pay enough attention to regular plant inspections. The best approach is adequate prevention and strong, healthy plants. In addition to high humidity, mold can also be caused by polluted growing areas, weeds in the area, etc.

Chemical fungicides are a powerful protection against mold, but...

Classic fungicides should be used with caution. Products such as Acrobat, Discus, Kuprikol, Dithane, etc. usually contain heavy metals. Although they are quite successful in eliminating mold, it is necessary to observe the protection period before consumption after application. We recommend using aggressive fungicides in extreme cases and always thoroughly rinsing the plants before harvesting. When growing outdoors, keep in mind that heavy metals are deposited in the soil. We recommend always throwing away moldy parts of the plants.

Roots can be protected from fungi with Trichoderma or Phospoderma, which can be found in the Soil Supplements category. This special friendly fungus coats the roots and prevents the access of hostile fungi and supports higher nutrient uptake. Phosphoderma also increases phosphorus uptake.

To protect plants from mold during organic cultivation, products from the Bio Plant Protection category are more suitable. When growing in hydroponic or aeroponic systems, the risk of mold formation is reduced compared to growing in a substrate.
