AGRARES BotrySTOP – Eco-Friendly Botrytis Prevention & Control

AGRARES BotrySTOP is an advanced, residue-free bio-protective solution designed to prevent and control Botrytis cinerea (gray mold) in vineyards, horticultural crops, and fruit trees. This eco-friendly alternative to synthetic fungicides ensures effective fungal suppression without compromising the fermentation process in winemaking or leaving chemical residues on fruits and vegetables.

Botrytis cinerea is one of the most economically significant fungal pathogens in agriculture. It thrives in humid conditions and infects a wide range of crops, leading to gray mold formation, fruit rot, and reduced post-harvest quality. In vineyards, it can cause bunch rot, affecting the quality of wine production. In soft fruits and vegetables, Botrytis spreads rapidly, making early control essential.

How Does AGRARES BotrySTOP Work?

AGRARES BotrySTOP acts as a physical barrier that prevents fungal spores from germinating and infecting plant tissues. Its action mechanism is based on two key processes:

1. Protective Film Formation: Upon application, BotrySTOP forms a thin, natural biofilm on leaves, flowers, and fruits. This film prevents fungal spores from adhering and developing.
2. Fungal Growth Inhibition: The biofilm reduces oxygen availability, which is essential for Botrytis cinerea to germinate and establish an infection.

Key Benefits of AGRARES BotrySTOP

• ✅ 100% residue-free: Does not leave chemical residues on crops.

• ✅ Preserves grape quality: Ideal for vineyards as it does not interfere with fermentation.
• ✅ Enhances fruit and vegetable storage life: Reduces post-harvest spoilage.
• ✅ Strengthens natural plant defenses: Forms a protective layer against fungal colonization.
• ✅ Works in various climates: Effective in both humid and dry growing conditions.
• ✅ Ideal for sustainable agriculture: Suitable for organic and integrated pest management (IPM) programs.

Composition & Active Ingredients

• Active Component: Glycerin esters derived from grape acids.

Recommended Application & Dosage

For best results, apply AGRARES BotrySTOP preventively before conditions favor fungal development. It can also be used for curative treatments when Botrytis symptoms appear.

Curative Applications

• For high infection risk or curative treatments, apply 3 L/Ha combined with MildiuSTOP.
• In the case of visible “gray mold” symptoms, ensure complete crop coverage with spray treatments.

Best Practices for Maximum Effectiveness

• ? Apply preventively: Start applications before Botrytis symptoms appear.
• ? Monitor weather conditions: Reapply after heavy rains or prolonged humidity.
• ? Combine with IPM strategies: Use with other organic disease management techniques.

Compatibility & Mixing Instructions

• ✅ Compatible with most organic and conventional crop protection programs.
• ❌ Do not mix with strong acidic products or systemic fungicides.
• ? Always conduct a compatibility test before mixing with other products.

Storage & Safety Guidelines
