Spore Control
An all-natural thymol fungicide delivering broad-spectrum control of fungal spores — with preventative and curative action against Botrytis, Fusarium, downy mildew, anthracnose, root rot, and more across a wide range of crops.
Spore Control is an all-natural fungicide built around thymol — a phenolic monoterpene extracted from Thymus species with well-documented antimicrobial and antifungal properties. Applied as a foliar spray at disease outbreak onset, it aids in disease resistance and improves crop yields through both preventative and curative modes. Thymol degrades rapidly (DT50: 16 days in water, 5 days in soil), leaving negligible impact on soil microbiomes and aquifers — making it an excellent rotation partner and organic-compatible alternative to persistent synthetic fungicides.
- Broad-spectrum control: effective against seven major fungal disease classes including Botrytis, Fusarium, Phytophthora, and anthracnose.
- Both preventative and curative action when applied at disease onset.
- Aids disease resistance and improves crop yields.
- Rapid degradation — DT50 of 16 days in water and just 5 days in soil; negligible environmental persistence.
- Safer alternative to persistent chemical fungicides; compatible with IPM programs.
- Effective across a wide crop range from strawberries and grapes to bananas, potatoes, and tobacco.
