What is the primary mechanism by which Actigard 50WG functions to control plant diseases?
- It acts as a direct fungicide and bactericide to kill pathogens on contact.
- It acts as an inducer of host plant resistance by mimicking the natural SAR response.
- It creates a physical barrier on the leaf surface to prevent pathogen entry.
- It alters the pH of the plant tissue to make it inhospitable to viruses.
Show answer
