MYCOV-43™
Natural Product Biofungicide in Development
MYCOV-43™ is Mycologics’ flagship biofungicide, developed from natural products and inspired by deep scientific insight into fungal biology. Through years of research, we identified a core mechanism used by plant pathogens to invade and colonize crops and leveraged this discovery to create a powerful, sustainable disease-control solution with a novel mode of action.
Why MYCOV-43™?
High efficacy powered by nature
Targets a fundamental infection pathway in plant pathogens
Helps prevent major fungal diseases affecting fruits, vegetables, and field crops
Minimizes risk of resistance development due to its unique mode of action
Compatible with integrated pest management (IPM) programs
Derived from renewable natural sources
How It Works
A new approach to crop protection
MYCOV-43™ offers a differentiated approach that complements existing crop protection strategies. While traditional fungicides primarily target fungal cell membranes and walls, MYCOV-43™ addresses biological processes involved in pathogen infection and establishment.
This complementary mechanism provides:
- Additive or synergistic activity when used with traditional fungicides
- Resistance management benefits through multi-site action
- Extended protection across the infection cycle
- Support for integrated disease management programs
Field trials have demonstrated that MYCOV-43™ can enhance the performance of existing fungicide programs while reducing overall chemical inputs.
