Control in greenhouse soil was recorded across a range of economic application rates.

Key Points: 
  • Control in greenhouse soil was recorded across a range of economic application rates.
  • The disease causes severe root damage and wilting, with yield losses ranging from 10% to 100% in infected fields (1).
  • Industry experts conservatively estimate $20 million in annual pulse crop losses in Canada and $100 million globally caused by Aphanomyces (1).
  • Current treatment measures cannot control Aphanomyces - they are only able to slow down the spread and reduce the incidence and severity of the disease.

Aphanomyces is a water mould pathogen responsible for root-rot disease, infecting a variety of peas, lentils and other legumes collectively referred to as pulse crops.

Key Points: 
  • Aphanomyces is a water mould pathogen responsible for root-rot disease, infecting a variety of peas, lentils and other legumes collectively referred to as pulse crops.
  • "It is great to see MustGrow's mustard plant-based biopesticide continue to perform, particularly with 100% disease control measured at exceptionally low application rates.
  • MustGrow feels it makes both logical and ecological sense to protect plant-based protein crops with plant-based crop protection inputs.
  • In addition, this new mustard-derived technology could have other applications in several different industries from pre-plant soil treatment to post harvest pest and disease control.
