Natural broad-spectrum root fungicide formulated from Yucca schidigera extract. Targets the four major soil-borne pathogens that stunt crop development — preventatively and curatively — via soil irrigation.

OMRI Listed for organic use

Fungus Control is a plant extract-derived fungicide formulated to prevent and treat root fungal infections that stunt crop development. Its active ingredient — Yucca schidigera extract rich in fungicidal saponins — produces chitinases that degrade the chitin in fungal cell walls, suppressing infection while simultaneously stimulating plant and root growth. Applied via soil irrigation throughout the growing season, it provides reliable broad-spectrum protection across all crops.

Key benefits
  • Targets all four major root pathogens: Fusarium, Pythium, Phytophthora and Rhizoctonia (damping off).
  • Enzymatic mode of action — chitinases degrade fungal cell walls without synthetic chemicals.
  • Works preventatively before infection occurs and curatively at first disease onset.
  • Stimulates plant and root growth while suppressing fungal colonisation.
  • Naturally derived, OMRI listed and safe for organic production programmes.
