Kafom Zn-Mn

KAFOM Zn-Mn is a plant defense enhancer based on zinc phosphite and manganese phosphite.

The application of KAFOM Zn-Mn makes crops more resistant to oomycete pathogens such as Phytophthora spp. and Pythium spp., by disrupting their metabolism, by promoting the synthesis of phytoalexins in the plant, with an antimicrobial effect, and by activating stress response systems in crops.

By these mechanisms, KAFOM Zn-Mn prevents the symptoms caused by infection by these pathogens such as plant rot, among others, which prevent the proper development of the crop and decrease yields. Zinc phosphite and manganese phosphite are sources of these microorganisms and zinc for the plant. In addition, phosphites exhibit high systemic capacity, enhancing the distribution and absorption of these elements in the plant.
