It has to be, as there’s only one chemical product against whitefly in [...] Mycotal has been and continues to be the most efficient product on the market. Instead of conidia, we use blastospores from the fungus Akanthomyces muscarius [...] slightly higher dosages of the predatory bug. As a result of that choice, we’ve yet to find out how much of the effect can be attributed to Mycotal.’ Greater peace

Life cycle and appearance of Early blight From the primary [...] particular when spores surviving in the soil are the main source of infection. Especially wheat and barley reduce the number of surviving conidia in the soil [...] spread to the flowers (especially dangerous in crops for seed production) and to the crown.
