BioSafe OxiPhos Systemic Fungicide

OxiPhos® is a potent bactericide and fungicide offering dual-mode action to protect crops from devastating oomycete pathogens such as Pythium, Phytophthora, and downy mildew. EPA-registered for use across a wide range of agricultural and horticultural crops, OxiPhos provides comprehensive protection through systemic and contact actions, and is approved for ground sprays, chemigation, in-furrow, and postharvest uses on select crops.

What is the mode of action of OxiPhos?

SYSTEMIC ACTION: 
OxiPhos improves plant absorption of soluble potassium salts, also called potassium phosphite, which metabolize inside the plants to form phosphorus acid. As OxiPhos mobilizes within the plant, the phosphorus acid inhibits the mitochondria from producing vital energy for the cells and blocks essential pathogen enzymes that limit pathogen growth directly.

CONTACT ACTION: 
Hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) oxidizes the target pathogen's cell membranes on contact through oxidation-reduction (redox). This process involves the transfer of electrons between the hydrogen peroxide and the pathogen which irrevocably damages the cell structure and kills it. Hydrogen peroxide’s high oxidation potential makes this one of the quickest inactivations of pathogen cells.
