OxiPhos is a combination of phosphorous acid and activated peroxide that provides a one-two punch against diseases. The activated peroxide helps the phosphorous acid active ingredient to have a broader effect on targeted organisms. OxiPhos can be used throughout the growing season to prevent and control diseases caused by the oomycete group of pathogens. OxiPhos has a dual mode of action: Systemic and Contact. Systemic Action: Potassium salts of Phosphorus Acid, also called Potassium Phosphite, metabolize inside the plants into phosphorus acid. Phosphorus Acid inhibits oxidative phosphorylation in the metabolism of oomycetes and blocks essential pathogen enzymes limiting pathogen growth directly. Potassium phosphite has also shown to enhance the natural defense system of plants. Contact Action: Hydrogen Peroxide, upon contact with pathogens, oxidizes components of cell membrane resulting in increased cell permeability and eventual death.
