characteristics

PLINIUS S is a plant resistance enhancer containing the active ingredient Chitosan, derived from the exoskeleton of crustaceans. This Basic Substance acts as an elicitor increasing plant resistance against

pathogenic fungi and bacteria.  Plants recognize chitosan derivatives as foreign molecules (“non self”) considered potentially pathogenic, activating the defence mechanisms in an intense and rapid way. This creates the conditions for metabolic decline of pathogens and its reproductive structures (spores).

Chitosan hydrochloride is an authorised Basic Substance in accordance with Regulation (EU) No 563/2014 implemented under Regulation (EC) 1107/2009.
