Protectorhml™
Protectorhml is a liquid containing specific complexes of potassium soaps. Collectively, these soaps are also known as ‘soft’ soaps, or potassium salts of fatty acids. All ingredients involved in its manufacture are food or food grade.
Protectorhml is fully registered by New Zealand Food Safety Authority (ACVM) – registered number P7149. Its use is as a fungicide for botrytis control on wine grapes, and as an adjuvant to assist with other fungicides in their activity on grapes and other crops.
A good example of adjuvant use would be the combination with sulphur for powdery mildew control on wine grapes or apples.
Use of Protectorhml with other ‘soft’ products to enhance overall efficacy is a key focus for further research.
Protectorhml is BioGro™ approved for use as an adjuvant with other BioGro™ approved fungicides and insecticides – licence number 5079.
