AgroShield’s Larixifol Enhances Plant Growth and Combats Disease in Hemp

Over the past decade, consumer demand has shifted away from nondegradable materials towards more sustainable alternatives. One of the most versatile and expanding markets is industrial hemp. Hemp can be utilized in a variety of ways, including rope, textiles, clothing, shoes, food, paper, bioplastics, insulation, and biofuel. For cultivators, one of the biggest obstacles occurs in the early stages of plant development but isn’t revealed until flowering takes place—Botrytis Cinerea. Botrytis is a necrotrophic fungus that, once germinated, produces enzymes and toxins, which are fatal to the host plant. Similar to botrytis, industrial hemp requires growing conditions that are cool and wet. 

To prevent and combat botrytis, as well as other harmful diseases, AgroShield has introduced its Larixifol product. Larixifol is 12% Taxifolin, which is highly purified in a micro-emulsion. Its main active ingredient (dihydroquercetin) is obtained from Dahurian Larch trees. Dihydroquercetin enhances plant resistance to diseases, pests, and adverse climatic conditions. Additionally, Larixifol can be utilized as a seed treatment or foliar spray to enhance growth processes and photosynthesis. In previous trials, Larixifol-treated plants experienced greater initial growth and lower mortality rates than the control plants. Larixifol has also proven to be effective in treating late-stage infections in hemp. Whether it’s being utilized as a seed treatment or foliar spray, Larixifol is leading the way for all-natural plant amendments.
