Soy Lecithin for Biological Agricolture

Soy Lecithin is a natural substance obtained from optimized mixtures of oils in an emulsifiable concentration. The active ingredients composing it are compatible with the environment and are harmless to humans. It leaves no residue and it's commonly used for animal and human nutrition.

In agriculture, Soy Lecithin has a remarkable preventive and fungistatic action especially on some pathogenic fungi because it closes the main penetration pathways. It effectively controls pathologies such as: anthracnose, scab, powdery mildew, peach leaf curl, brown rot of stone fruits and downy mildew.

It reinforces and gives elasticity to the cell walls avoiding various physiopathologies like: cracking, sunburn, etc, in fruits. 

Used near the harvest, it gives hardness to the fruits, brilliance and colour, increasing their quality and organoleptic characteristics. In post-harvest it extends fruit and vegetable shelf life.

Concerning the new European regulations about the reduction of Copper in agriculture, Soy Lecithin can be used combined with low rates of Copper-based products as a synergist and as a fungicide enhancer.
