Absorption: The Key to Broad Spectrum Disease Control in Greenhouses and Nurseries

Absorption-based disease control provides long-lasting, broad-spectrum protection by moving active ingredients through the plant’s vascular system. Learn how absorption-based formulas like Phyton 27 can help greenhouse growers safeguard both tender ornamentals and edible crops.

Protecting plants from disease is one of the most important steps you can take to ensure healthy plants and successful growing seasons. Growers face constant challenges from fungal and bacterial pathogens. These diseases spread quickly under warm, humid conditions.

The solution for most greenhouses and nurseries is broad-spectrum disease control built on absorption. When protection moves inside the plant, it lasts longer and works more effectively.

Why Absorption Matters

Traditional foliar sprays leave residue only on the surface of the plant. While this can provide short-term protection, foliar sprays can be washed off, degrade in the sunlight, or fail to reach all plant tissues. This creates windows of vulnerability where pathogens can take hold in your plants.

With the patented formulas of Phyton 27 and its food crop safe twin, Phyton 35, active ingredients penetrate plant tissue, moving through a plant’s vascular system. This systemic movement delivers disease-fighting power from the inside out, offering long-lasting protection against a wide range of pathogens.

Absorption Offers Broad-Spectrum Protection

Absorption allows for broad-spectrum disease control in both edible and ornamental crops. Phyton 27 and Phyton 35 protect against:

• Gray Mold: A common threat in humid greenhouse conditions.
• Powdery and Downy Mildew: Diseases that reduce photosynthesis and slow growth.
• Bacterial Leaf Spots and Blights: Conditions that can rapidly defoliate plants.
• Root and Stem Rots: Threats that attack a plant’s foundation.

With up to 21 days of protection, our absorbed copper-based proprietary formulation ensures crops remain shielded throughout critical growth stages.

Choose Phyton 27 or Phyton 35

Both Phyton 27 and Phyton 35 use absorption to solve three key concerns for greenhouse and nursery operators.

  1. Gentle on sensitive plants, including poinsettias and other tender ornamentals.
  2. Residue-free, with no unsightly deposits on leaves, flowers, fruits, or bracts.
  3. Extended coverage that stays active in plants for weeks, reducing application frequency.

With Phyton, you can protect your investment without compromising crop quality or marketability. By choosing absorption-based disease control, you can safeguard your plants from propagation to harvest, shipment, and sale. Healthy plants not only look better, they deliver greater returns at retail.

Plant Disease Control FAQs

What makes absorption-based disease control different from traditional sprays?
Unlike surface sprays that remain on the outside of the plant, absorption-based solutions penetrate plant tissues and provide systemic protection from the inside out.

How long does absorption-based protection typically last?
Absorbed copper formulations can remain active in the plant’s system for up to 21 days, reducing the need for frequent reapplications.

Is absorption-based disease control safe for sensitive plants?
Yes, Phyton 27 and Phyton 35 are gentle enough for tender crops such as poinsettias, herbs, and leafy greens while still delivering strong disease control.

Which diseases can absorption-based products help manage?
They are effective against a wide range of bacterial and fungal pathogens, including Botrytis (gray mold), powdery mildew, downy mildew, bacterial leaf spot, and root rots.
