Protein Defence
Disease suppression by Tri-Cure & Trillum is mediated through various modes of action. The active ingredient, T. asperellum, produces various proteins called enzymes that are involved in the degradation of phytopathogenic fungal cell walls, inhibition of phytopathogenic fungal growth, assist Trichoderma to colonise plant roots and trigger induced systemic resistance in plants.
Solid State Fermentation
At MBFi we utilize Solid-state fermentation (SSF) to produce high quality Trichoderma asperellum spores. SSF is an alternative method to submerged fermentation (SmF) to produce fungal spores and secondary metabolites. SSF possesses several biotechnological advantages above SmF, such as higher fermentation productivity, superior volumetric productivity of secondary metabolites (enzymes etc.), higher concentration of the end-product to facilitate recovery as well as extended stability of the product.
Genetic Expression Technology
GET – Genetic Expression Technology is a complex scientific approach consisting of bio-stimulants in researched quantities and formulas mixed with the correct complementing micro and macro nutrients the plants will require at certain growth stages. Certain nutrients are essential for genetic expression, for example zinc finger proteins that can control the expression of certain genes naturally present in the plant. The growth stage of the crop and the environment on the farm will determine the product used in a program. During the vegetative stage you need to ensure that your plant is balanced and you remove all manageable stress to maintain optimal growth rate and solid foundation for the reproductive stage. During the reproductive stage you need to make the plant manage the stress of creating flowers and the ultimately seed formation. Maximise the plant ability to be reproductive and expressing the yield functions in the plant.
Micronisation
MBFi’s utilizes the micronization process to reduce the average diameter of a solid material’s particle. This process yields very fine nano-scale micronutrients which can be supplied in a highly concentrated, easy to apply, one step, quick drying coating liquid. MBFi offers a comprehensive range (B, Cu, Fe, Mg, Mn, Mo and Zn) of micronutrient coatings based on this technology which is known as the M-coat range. The reactivity of these particles will be very high due to the micronized nature of our M-coat products, rendering them highly bio-available. Furthermore, because most of these particles are not immediately water soluble, they provide a sustained release micronutrient source for longer periods throughout the growing season.
