NE-ZERØ – beneficial fungi Metarhizium anisopliae and Paecilomyces fumosoroseus (Isaria)

NE-ZERØ is a liquid live inoculum containing the beneficial fungi Metarhizium anisopliae and Paecilomyces fumosoroseus (Isaria), designed for application in the root zone. It supports the development of a powerful root system, nutrient uptake, and plant resistance to adverse conditions.

The product is particularly suitable for inclusion in programs targeting pressure from the Peach Flathead Borer (Capnodis tenebrionis) in stone fruit species, where the strength of the roots and the base of the stem is key.

NE-ZERØ contains live beneficial microorganisms that develop in the root zone and support the interaction between the plant and the soil environment. The product stimulates root elongation and thickening, expands the active zone for water and nutrient uptake, and supports plant vitality.

In stone fruit orchards, the product is suitable for programs under conditions of increased Peach Flathead Borer pressure, helping to maintain a strong and well-developed root system. The recommended program includes treatment in the spring at the beginning of active vegetation and a repeat application in the autumn after harvest.

Combination with Planta Sana Nutri Liquid

To maintain active soil microflora, NE-ZERØ can be combined with Nutri Liquid – an organic liquid fertilizer with nitrogen and organic carbon.

Nutri Liquid activates biological processes in the soil, supports the development of beneficial microorganisms, stimulates root formation, and improves the retention and uptake of nutrients.

The combination of NE-ZERØ + Nutri Liquid is suitable for a comprehensive program in stone fruit orchards with Peach Flathead Borer pressure, as it simultaneously supports beneficial soil microflora, an active rhizosphere, and strong root system development.

Active microorganisms

• Metarhizium anisopliae
• Paecilomyces fumosoroseus (Isaria)
• Concentration: 3.5 × 10⁸ CFU/L of each strain
• Form: liquid
• pH: 4.5–5.0

Key benefits

• Supports the development of a strong and branched root system
• Improves water and nutrient uptake
• Stimulates plant vitality and physiological processes
• Supports plants during drought, heat, and other stress conditions
• Suitable for stone fruit orchards
• Suitable for programs targeting Peach Flathead Borer (Capnodis tenebrionis) pressure
• Destroys pest eggs, thereby stopping their reproduction.
• Compatible with organic and mineral fertilizers
• Suitable for application via drip irrigation

Dosage and application

Recommended dose: 100–400 ml/decare

It is applied mainly to the soil in the active root zone, including via drip irrigation systems. If necessary, it can also be applied to the above-ground parts of the plants.

It can be used throughout the crop's development cycle, with 2–3 treatments per cycle performed if necessary.

For stone fruit species

A program with two main applications is suitable:

Spring – at the beginning of the growing season for active development and strengthening of the root system.

Autumn – after harvesting, for recovery and preparation of the plants for the next season.

Compatibility

NE-ZERØ is compatible with organic and mineral fertilizers, including Nutri Liquid.

Do not mix with products based on copper or sulfur, as they may reduce the viability of the live microorganisms.
