Trichoderma viride is used for protection of potatoes, tomatoes, beets, cabbages, peppers, cucumbers, onions, eggplants, garden strawberries, roses, carnations, asters, onion flowers and others. Grain myceliym Trichodermaveride does not just protect plants, but increases their crops, keeping quantity and the quality of production. It also stimulates root nutrition, improves fetility of soil, increases seed germitation.
Ingredients: Spores and mycelium of the fungus Trichoderma viride
Preparative form: Mycelium mass with green fungus spores
Hazard class: III (moderately dangerous)
Mechanism of Action: Once in moist soil, spores of Trichoderma viride germinate, releasing natural antibiotics and disinfecting the surrounding soil. Trichoderma viride acts in the long term: as the dormant and hibernating stages of pathogens are destroyed, spores germinate, falling on the damaged area of the plant, feeding on the diseased tissue, and at the same time treating the plant.
Protective period: When applied on seeds, the protective action is maintained throughout the growing season. The mycelium acts on the stems and leaves of plants for 7-10 days, depending on the degree of plant infection and weather conditions.
Activity: Used to protect potatoes, tomatoes, beets, cabbage, peppers, cucumbers, onions, eggplants, garden strawberries, roses, carnations, asters, bulbous flowers, etc. from various diseases. Trichoderma viride parasitizes fungi that cause the development of white mold, noble rot, dry rot, root rot, helminthosporiosis, late blight of scab, mildew, oidium, curly leaves, fusarium and other diseases. Grain mycelium of Trichoderma viride does not only protect plants, but increases their yield, product quality and preservation period, stimulates root nutrition, improves soil fertility, and increases seed germination rate.
Compatibility: Compatible with most pesticides. However, physical and chemical incompatibility of preparations is possible, therefore it is recommended to carry out a compatibility test before mixing and use. Can be used with growth stimulants and mineral fertilizers and also with chemical insecticides (neonicotinoids, pyrethroids, avermectins, etc.). Simultaneous use with bioinsecticides is undesirable.
Storage conditions and shelf life: the package with grain mycelium is stored in dry, clean, ventilated rooms, protected from direct sunlight and atmospheric precipitation, at a temperature not exceeding 80С and at a relative humidity below 60% for 6 months. Do not freeze the product! Use the working solution within 24 hours after preparation.

Metarhizium anisopliae .The furgus is the probiotic for plants. It recovers the microbial balance in agrocoenosis. As a result crops increase causes the growth and development and also the decline of harmful effect on phytophagous Insects and other harmful organisms.
Ingredients: Spores and mycelium of the fungus Metarhizium anisopliae
Preparative form: Mycelial mass with green fungus spores
Hazard class: IV (low hazard)
Mechanism of Action: Metarhizium anisopliae eliminates pests as a result of the development of spores on their surface. The most effective way of infection is to apply the solution directly to the pest or letting the pest contact the treated surface. IInsects die within 4-10 days after the infection. The time of elimination will depend on the type of insect, age and number of spores. The dead insect will serve as a spore source for secondary contamination. An infected adult male pest will also transmit spores during mating.
Protective period: The effectiveness and protection period depend on weather conditions, temperature, the number and susceptibility of pests. In humid conditions, spores remain active longer and infect more pests, also contamination of uninfected pests that appeared after the death of infected ones occurs more often. Under ideal conditions, the elimination period takes less than three weeks. In dry sunny weather, the period of protective action is significantly reduced. With a large number of pests, it is necessary to apply once again after 10-14 days.
Activity: The fungus is a probiotic for plants, the action of which is aimed at restoring microbial balance in agrocenoses. As a result, the productivity of plants increases by stimulation of growth and development, and by elimination of phytophagous insects and other harmful organisms that cause damage to the plants.
Spores of Metarhizium anisopliae fight insects hibernating or going through one of their stages of development in the soil or under plant debris on the soil surface. Metarhizium anisopliae destroys pests such as: Colorado potato beetle, spider mite, strawberry leaf beetle, strawberry sawfly, strawberry mite, raspberry-strawberry weevil, raspberry beetle, raspberry stem gnat, gooseberry firefly, currant flower gallfly, berry sawfly, berry sawfly, berry sawfly, berry peel slimy sawfly, cruciferous fleas, cabbage moth, cabbage fly, turnip fly, cabbage leaf beetle, cruciferous bugs, beetroot fleas, carrot fly, onion moth, onion fly, onion lurker, etc.
Compatibility: working solution can be mixed with chemical and biological insecticides, as well as with basic chemical herbicides for open ground and greenhouses. The mycelium of Metarhizium anisopliae is sensitive to the action of chemical fungicides, but the spores are resistant to fungicides in joint working solutions. The only limitations are solutions based on copper and mercury.
Storage conditions and shelf life: the package with grain mycelium is stored in dry, clean, ventilated rooms, protected from direct sunlight and atmospheric precipitation, at a temperature not exceeding 80С and at a relative humidity below 60% for 6 months.

Paecilomyces lilacinum protects from such insects as: wireworm, Colorado potato beetle larvae, mole cricket, cutworm larvae, maybug, white flies, aphid. Grain mycelium is proper for vegetable crops of open and glass covered ground, and for berries, fruits, bulb plants, grain and leguminous plants, ornamental plants and shrubs, seedlings and room flowers.
Ingredients: Spores and mycelium of the fungus Arthrobotrys oligospora
Preparative form: Mycelium mass with yellowish or white fungal spores
Hazard class: IV (low hazard)
Mechanism of Action: Predatory fungi are natural enemies of the nematode. The fungus lures nematodes with attractants (biologically active compounds, which are insoluble in water and not subject to rapid destruction by microorganisms), forms traps and chlamydospores, into which it captures the pest. Destroying nematodes while in the soil, fungi release stimulants for plants, maintaining the ecological balance of the soil. During germination and growth of plants, the nematophagous fungus activates the development of the root system. The mycelium fights all stages of nematode development with mobile larvae and eggs protected by cysts, while it does not cause the pests to develop resistance, does not pollute the soil with toxins and does not adversely affect other beneficial organisms.
Protective period: The effectiveness and protection period depend on weather conditions, temperature, the number and susceptibility of pests. In humid conditions, spores remain active longer and infect more pests, also contamination of uninfected pests that appeared after the death of infected ones occurs more often. Under ideal conditions, the elimination period takes less than three weeks. In dry sunny weather, the period of protective action is significantly reduced. With a large number of pests, it is necessary to apply once again after 10-14 days.
Activity: Used to protect plants from parasitic nematodes (against larvae and eggs by protected cysts), as well as to enhance the nutrition and protective properties of plants. The maximum activity of the mycelium occurs 2 weeks after the introduction of the mycelium into the soil, therefore, the second week after the application is the best period for planting.
Compatibility: working solution can be mixed with chemical and biological insecticides, as well as with basic chemical herbicides for open ground and greenhouses. The mycelium of Metarhizium anisopliae is sensitive to the action of chemical fungicides, but the spores are resistant to fungicides in joint working solutions.

Beauveria bassiana, an entomopathogenic fungus that can significantly reduce the number of insect pests in the treated area (including flying, as well as some species of ticks). It is used for soil cultivation, spraying of plants and disinfection of plant residues.
Ingredients: Spores and mycelium of the fungus Beauveria bassiana
Preparative form: Mycelial mass with white fungus spores
Hazard class: IV (low hazard)
Mechanism of Action: Beauveria bassiana eliminates pests as a result of the development of spores on their surface. The most effective way of infection is to apply the solution directly to the pest or letting the pest contact the treated surface. IInsects die within 4-10 days after the infection. The time of elimination will depend on the type of insect, age and number of spores. The dead insect will serve as a spore source for secondary contamination. An infected adult male pest will also transmit spores during mating.
Protective period: The protective period depends on weather conditions and the density and susceptibility of the pest population. In wet weather, fungal propagules retain their viability longer and infect insects more effectively; moreover, in such conditions, contamination via contact with a dead infected insect is more likely to occur. In this case, the period of protective action lasts at least three weeks. In dry sunny weather, the period of protective action is shortened.
Activity: Beauveria bassiana, an entomopathogenic fungus that can significantly reduce the number of the following insects:

Myco Guardian is an international biotechnological company. Since 2004 our highly equipped laboratory produces high quality biofungicides and bioinsecticides, developing systems that cope with different problems occurring in the agricultural sector. We aim to enhance the production of crops using the predaceous as well as entomopathogenic fungi that eliminate harmful insects and fungi, preventing disease, healing the plant and improving the quality of the soil.
Today Myco Guardian laboratory produces 7 types of grain mycelium, which helps to defeat 60 plant diseases and many harmful insects that affect vegetables, grains, beans, fruits and other crops. The sustainable and safe results are ensured by constant modernization of the production technology based on the newest scientific studies.
In our laboratory we use only licensed strains of microorganisms with certificates of effectiveness against phytopathogens.
Our mission is to give the world a more efficient and sustainable way to protect and nourish the plants, responding to the need of the agricultural industry to use natural and safe fungicides and insecticides that do not harm the soil, human health and biological diversity of the planet.
Why do we focus on biotechnology?
The modern world is faced with serious environmental problems - global warming, environmental pollution, decline in biodiversity.
Conscious rejection of fungicides and insecticides of chemical origin in favor of living biological organisms allows not only to provide protection and ideal conditions for growing plants, but also prevents the destructive effects of harmful substances on humans.
