CASTELL® - Biosolution for the Control of Fungicidal Diseases in Crops

Fungicide

Innovation that protects the root

What makes Castell innovative is its advanced biotechnological formulation, developed from patented strains of Streptomyces spp. (JOFER 383 and S. jalisciencis 030). This formulation combines viable spores with active secondary metabolites, providing a multi-site mode of action that includes:

- Inhibition of essential protein synthesis in phytopathogenic fungi.
- Disruption of the respiratory process.
- Compromise of the integrity of the fungal cell membrane.

This comprehensive mechanism significantly reduces the risk of resistance development and ensures an immediate control effect after application.

In addition to its role as a biofungicide, Castell also works as a soil bio-stimulant: it reactivates soil microbial life, enhances nutrient availability and uptake, and stimulates the development of absorptive roots, thus strengthening the overall health of the crop.
