- How It Performs
As a result of viral replication, AgriPhage™ actually increases in concentration due to the fact that the virus remains constant and replicates under favorable environmental conditions to continue its attack on Citrus Canker.. AgriPhage™ can be used in organic groves under the USDA National Organic Program, but can also be used to enhance performance of conventional tactics in groves where bacteria has been problematic.
- Recommended Uses
AgriPhage can be used in existing programs where conventional controls have not been effective.
