BioSafe Guarda 2.5Gl biofungicide ( Thyme Oil )
Description
Guarda® Botanical Fungicide & Bactericide is the first EPA-registered crop protection solution formulated with botanical thyme oil as its active ingredient, offering up to 14 days of residual activity against bacterial and fungal diseases. Ideal for Integrated Pest Management (IPM) programs, Guarda has no use restrictions, is MRL/tolerance exempt, and features a 0-hour REI and zero-day PHI, making it a safe and flexible choice for edible crops, ornamentals, and turf. Its proprietary HOLDit® Technology stabilizes thyme oil, extending its efficacy by preventing volatilization and ensuring prolonged contact with plant surfaces. Guarda combats plant pathogens through cellular damage, telomerase inhibition, and membrane disruption, leading to the loss of cytoplasmic content and ergosterol depletion. With its low risk of resistance and tank mix compatibility with most agrichemicals, Guarda is an innovative, sustainable, and effective tool for disease management.
