BotryStop WP is an organic wettable powder biological fungicide based on a naturally occurring, non-pathogenic saphrophytic fungus known as Ulocladium oudemansii (U3 strain). This live spore preparation has been developed as a preventative specifically to control common plant pathogens such as Botrytis cinerea, Sclerotinia sclerotiorumand Monilinia spp.
BotryStop WP has a unique mode of action in that it aggressively occupies the same ecological space as plant pathogens and will out-compete them for nutrients. This process begins when you apply BotryStop WP spores to dead and senescent plant debris. Once applied, they will germinate and then colonize the plant debris until further sporulation occurs. Once that happens, the new spores will spread to available space on remaining dead and senescing tissue, depriving the pathogens of their room and board. This thriving colony of Ulocladium oudemansii provides protection from pathogens to fruit, blossoms, and plant tissue.
