Bio-Tam® Biofungicide

Dual-strain performs well in all conditions and temperatures

Bio-Tam® is a powerful biofungicide for the management of grapevine trunk and pruning diseases, including ESCA, in both conventional and organic grapes. Utilizing a unique blend of two highly active Trichoderma strains, Bio-Tam® colonizes pruning wounds to form a protective shield that prevents the spread of pathogenic fungi within the plant.

Key Features:

• Strains selected for high activity against fungi responsible for grapevine pruning diseases
• Worker-friendly product featuring 4-hour REI and zero-day PHI
• Stable performance in a wide range of environmental conditions, as low as 44.6 degrees F
• Excellent IPM partner

Product Overview:

Bio-Tam® is a unique blend of two highly active Trichoderma strains, delivering preventative activity against several key soil-borne diseases. By using two different strains, Bio-Tam® provides consistent performance across various environmental conditions (soil temperature, soil pH, organic matter) compared to single species formulations.

Benefits:

• Broad-spectrum disease control across a wide variety of crops
• Consistent performance in diverse soil temperatures and pH conditions
• Dormant spores ensure a best-in-class shelf life of 15 months
• Outstanding formulation with high wettability and dispersibility, preventing machinery clogs and reducing the need for constant agitation
• OMRI-Listed for organic production
• 4-hour REI
• Zero-day PHI

Invigorated Roots and Soil:

Bio-Tam® establishes a living barrier around your crop’s roots, protecting against major disease-causing fungi including Pythium, Phytophthora, and Rhizoctonia. Early inoculation helps crops establish quickly, withstand in-season abiotic stresses, and increase yields. Bio-Tam® is your first step in an effective, economical disease control program that harmonizes with other fungicides.

Each strain in Bio-Tam® colonizes the soil rhizosphere, outcompeting pathogens for nutrients and space. They enter symbiotic relationships with plant roots, enhancing root growth and development. Binding to the root surface, they provide expanding protection by actively attacking soil-borne pathogens. In short, Bio-Tam® delivers disease protection that grows with your crop.

• Consistent performance in various soil conditions
• Best-in-class shelf life of 15 months
• High wettability and dispersibility
