Benefits :-
- Contains phosphorus in the form of phosphite (PO₃), which enables it to move throughout the different parts of the plant (xylem and phloem). The phosphite ion stimulates the formation of phytoalexins, which constitute the plant's natural defense system against many fungal diseases.
- It also has a toxic effect on oomycetes responsible for Phytophthora, downy mildew, and Pythium diseases.
- CAUTION: Do not mix with calcium compounds.
