Solufeed TeMag+HPE
Solufeed Temag HPE Key Points
• Contains unique Harpin technology
• Fully chelated micronutrient package
• Increased plant growth & chlorophyll production.
• High chelated iron content
• Low water volumes for foliar uptake.
Solufeed Temag HPE is a water-soluble, chelated iron and fully chelated micronutrient package, with elevated magnesium.
It also contains ‘Harpin Plant Elicitor’ (HPE) helping turf to combat stresses caused by a variety of sources. The soluble formulation works synergistically with
Harpin, to provide the building blocks that allow increased photosynthesis and chlorophyll production.
Harpin Plant Elicitor
In nature, the Harpin protein is produced by Erwinia amylovora, a bacterium that causes the disease Fire Blight in apples and pears. This protein was isolated
and a commercial variant, identical to the natural strain, was produced. Harpin is a plant elicitor, which works by stimulating the plant to grow better whilst under the effects of stress, disease or nematode damage.
Harpin does not directly affect a pathogen, nor does it enter the plant, rather it binds to receptors on the plant leaf and thereby triggers physiological processes within the plant itself.
These processes constitute the natural defence mechanism of the plant, referred to as ‘systemic acquired resistance’ (SAR) and provide proven protection against plant pathogenic fungi and nematodes.
Enhanced Plant Health and Nematode Suppression
Harpin has been trialled in a variety of crops as well as turfgrass, against the action of nematodes. Although the exact mechanism has not been clearly identified, application of Harpin is linked to enhanced plant physiology, providing growth benefits under the effect of numerous species of nematodes including Stunt, Root-Knot, Spiral, Sting and Cyst.
Mycoforce
Myco-Forceâ„¢ is a talc-based formulation containing the entomopathogenic fungal species Beauveria bassiana, Metarhizium anisopliae, and Verticillium lecanii. The inclusion of these three species together in one product is a world first and it has proven to be extremely effective in the control of mealy bugs, white flies ,mites, thrips, scale insects, locusts, weevils, leafhoppers. leaf-eating insects, grasshoppers, grubs, cock chafers, beetles, termites, storage pests, bill bugs, cutworms and armyworms.
Trichoshield
Beneficial fungi to improve the balance between desired and undesirable micro-organisms on the leaf surface and in the soil.
Tricho-Shieldâ„¢ is a talc-based formulation containing the beneficial fungal species Trichoderma harzianum, Trichoderma lignorum and Gliocladium virens, and the plant growth promoting, bio-balancing bacteria Bacillus subtilis. Trichoderma is also a root growth promoter.
With the strong combination of highly effective strains, this biological fungicide controls a broad-spectrum plant diseases including phytophthora, pythium, rhizoctonia, fusarium silt, verticillium wilt in the soil. This species can also be used for foliar control of downy mildew.

5. Cabbage Whitefly
6. Loopers
Bacchus can be applied to the following crops:
1. Vegetables
2. Fruits
3. Amenity Trees
4. Turf

Root Guard
Root-Guardis a talc-based formulation biological nematicide containing the following naturally occurring fungal species Arthrobotrys oligospora, A.conoidus, Paecilomyces funosoroseus, P.lilacinus and Verticillium chlamydosporium.. A highly efficient bio-balancer capable of improving soil food web ratios. Biodegradable and target specific.
This is ideal for both organic and conventional growers.
