Biological Fungicide with Multiple Benefits
BIOCONTROL PRODUCTS
At TIMAC AGRO | LYDA, we invest in biocontrol solutions, a new generation of natural, science-based technologies that protect crops through beneficial microorganisms.
By incorporating selected strains of Trichoderma, beneficial bacteria, and mycorrhizae, the product forms a living protective barrier around the root system.
These microorganisms enhance root architecture, optimize nutrient uptake, and provide biological control against soil-borne fungi, preventing the establishment of pathogens in the soil.
At TIMAC AGRO | LYDA, we transform this natural biological intelligence into real agronomic performance, supporting Greek farmers with solutions that regenerate soils, strengthen crop resilience, and ensure sustainable profitability in agriculture.
TUSAL: BIOLOGICAL SOIL FUNGICIDE FOR ROOT PROTECTION BASED ON TRICHODERMA
TUSAL is TIMAC AGRO’s leading biological soil fungicide, based on two synergistic Trichoderma strains. Following soil application, these microorganisms rapidly establish in the rhizosphere, creating a dominant beneficial microbial environment that competes with pathogens for space and nutrients.
During this process, Trichoderma secretes enzymes that degrade the cell walls of harmful fungi, delivering strong biological fungicidal action. At the same time, TUSAL activates the plant’s natural defense mechanisms and stimulates root development, leading to healthier, more resilient, and more productive crops.
Key Benefits:
- Natural protection against soil-borne fungal diseases (biological control of fungi)
- Improved nutrient uptake and a stronger root system
- Full compatibility with fertilizers, microbial fertilizers, and biostimulants
- Safe for the soil, beneficial insects, pollinators, and the environment
- Supports biological balance and long-term soil fertility
BIOCONTROL & NUTRITION: A LIVING AGRONOMIC SYNERGY
At TIMAC AGRO | LYDA, biocontrol solutions are an integral part of a comprehensive crop nutrition strategy. When TUSAL is combined with fertilizers containing beneficial microorganisms and TIMAC AGRO technologies such as NPRO, FERTIACTYL, and VITALFIT, growers benefit from enhanced root activity and superior crop performance.
This synergy ensures:
- More efficient nutrient uptake and increased root metabolic activity
- Greater tolerance to abiotic stress (heat stress, drought, salinity)
- Long-term improvement of soil microbial life
- Consistent and sustainable yields, adapted to Mediterranean conditions
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
What are biocontrol products?
Biocontrol products are biological solutions based on beneficial microorganisms such as Trichoderma, bacteria, and mycorrhizae. They enhance the plant’s natural defenses against soil-borne pathogens while improving root health and nutrient uptake.
How does TUSAL protect plants?
TUSAL acts through biological competition: Trichoderma colonizes the rhizosphere, competes with pathogens, secretes antifungal enzymes, and activates the plant’s defense mechanisms, providing continuous and natural protection.
Can biocontrol products replace chemical fungicides?
Biocontrol products offer a natural and sustainable alternative. Although their action is not as immediate as that of chemical fungicides, they provide long-term protection by enhancing soil biological activity and strengthening the plant’s natural resilience.
Are biocontrol products suitable for organic farming?
Yes. TUSAL and TIMAC AGRO | LYDA’s microbial fertilizers are compatible with organic farming standards, providing effective protection with no environmental footprint.
Can biocontrol products be combined with fertilizers and biostimulants?
Absolutely. TIMAC AGRO technologies such as NPRO, FERTIACTYL, and VITALFIT are designed to work synergistically with biocontrol products, improving nutrient efficiency, soil microbial life, and root metabolism.
When is the best time to apply TUSAL?
For maximum effectiveness, TUSAL should be applied at planting or during the early stages of vegetative growth, ensuring early colonization and continuous protection throughout the crop cycle.
Why choose TIMAC AGRO | LYDA for bioacontrol solutions?
Because TIMAC AGRO | LYDA combines scientific expertise, field-proven validation, and close relationships with Greek growers, delivering reliable solutions tailored to Greek soils and Mediterranean crops.
