Halo contains the Harpin protein. Harpin does not act directly on disease organism, nor does it alter the DNA of treated plants, but instead activates a natural defense mechanism in the host plant, referred to as systemic acquired resistance (SAR). This new active ingredient is currently the only broad-spectrum, proteinaceous elicitor of SAR commercially available. Harpin is effective against certain viral diseases for which there are no other controls or resistant plant varieties. It also protects against soil-borne pathogens and pests, such as certain nematodes and fungal diseases. In addition to its ability to protect plants against diseases, Harpin protein also reduces infestations of selected insects and enhances plant growth, general vigor, and yield of many crops. Apply as a foliar spray. Unique!
All plants contain biochemical pathways that are responsible for growth and defence mechanisms. Halo triggers these mechanisms, which prompts accelerated growth and heightens levels of defence. The result, you get stronger, healthier plants with an increased yield.
Extensive trials prove that Halo can:
- Accelerate plant growth
- Increase photosynthesis
- Increase root development
- Increase yield
- Encourage earlier flowering and fruit maturation
As well as improving growth, Halo increases a plant's ability to protect itself from a wide range of pests and diseases.
The fungal, bacteria and viral diseases Halo can prevent include:
- Stem Rot
- Fire Blight
- Botrytis (Bud rot)
- Tobaco Mosaic Virus
The pests Halo can prevent include:
- Spider Mite
- Thrips
- Aphids
