What is Fracture Fungicide?
NEW & patented fungicide for preventive use in tomato, strawberry, grape, & almond (Additional crops pending further development)
• Powdery mildew (Oidium spp., Sphaerotheca macularis), Botrytis (Botrytis cinerea)
• Biological active and exempt from tolerances
• Organic Materials Review Institute (OMRI) approval expected 4Q 2016
Powered by PROBLAD Technology
• New active ingredient is called BLAD
• Novel polypeptide active ingredient
• Derived from the Lupine bean storage protein
2.1 SC
*PMRA Registration Granted
5
Fracture Active Ingredient
The BLAD polypeptide is unique and new to the fungicide
market
• Received a new FRAC group classification M-12
Inhibits both cell wall production and nutrient uptake
through multiple action sites
• Binds very strongly to chitin and other structural
components tearing open the cell wall (chemical)
• Coats cell membrane and blocks nutrient uptake
binding to the sugars (physical)
• Low risk of resistance
