Key Benefits

Key Components

Foliacin contains a combination of compounds from the fermentation of beneficial bacteria and yeast.

Mode of Action

Foliacin is an elicitor of plant defence mechanisms. Folicin activates two different plant defence mechanisms that prepare the plant to resist attacks from plant pathogens. Foliacin consists of a combination of enzymes, signal molecules, bacteriocins and secondary metabolites from the fermentation of beneficial bacteria. These components mimic the presence of pathogens which prime the plant’s defence system, and activate the beneficial microbes that live on the leaf’s surface. Foliacin promotes plant health and growth during periods of environmental, disease and chemical spray stress.
