Essentially non-toxic, biocompatible, and biodegradable waste from the seafood industry, chitosan offers broad-spectrum disease and pathogen control by tricking plants into thinking they are being attacked by pests. As a result of this perceived infestation, the plant’s immune system goes into protective mode. In agriculture, HYSHIELD™ has been used in seed, leaf, fruit and vegetable sprays, and as fertilizer with astounding results.
Chitosan not only protects plants against harmful microorganisms, but it helps to increase plant productivity. For you, this means a bigger yield and higher quality product come harvest. When applied to crops as a foliar spray or drench, HYSHIELD™ increases your plant’s resilience to survive in high heat and cold stress environments.
