Keeping your poinsettias and other seasonal ornamentals healthy and beautiful requires consistent disease control. Phyton’s flagship product, Phyton 27, can help you stay on top of poinsettia disease control throughout the growing season, from propagation to shipping.
A Broad-Spectrum Bactericide and Fungicide
Phyton 27 is a broad-spectrum bactericide and fungicide that controls or prevents most common poinsettia diseases. It is absorbed into the plant vascular tissue and moves up, down, and across the plant, killing pathogens that have attacked internal plant tissues. Phyton 27 has residual activity of up to 21 days, making it a cost-effective disease control solution that has a very low risk of resistance.
Effective during times of stress, including crowding prior to sale, storage, and shipment, Phyton 27 is gentle on most tender plant tissues and will not damage plants, blooms, or bracts. It does not leave a residue on the plant or on the blooms when applied as a dip or spray, ensuring your plants are attractive to customers throughout the holiday season.
