Aastha Derma is a biological fungicide, broad-spectrum in action against soil-borne fungal pathogens for various crops. It competes with the pathogenic fungi for available nutrients and space and produces secondary metabolites inhibitory to their growth. It helps decompose organic matter into bioavailable nutrients and improves the development of root and immunity in plants.

📌 Mode of Action:
• Antagonistic Activity: Competes with pathogenic fungi for space and nutrients thereby preventing their spread.
• Mycoparasitism: Direct parasitism by killing the mycelia of fungal pathogens by the liberation of hydrolytic enzymes
• Induction of Systemic Resistance: Increases plant's defense mechanisms, thereby protecting them against the infection caused by fungi
• Decomposition of Organic Matter: Breaks down complex organic matter and releases more plant available nutrients thus improving soil fertility
📌 Benefits:
• It controls the soil-borne fungal diseases quite effectively.
• It produces healthy plants along with increased root growth.
• It decomposes organic matter in the soil for higher fertility.
• Increases plant's resistance to environmental stress.
• Non-toxic, environmentally friendly, no toxic residues.
