Maven Elicitex Mist Defence Bio stimulant

Prime your plants' own immune system before stress hits

Maven Elicitex Mist Defence is a ready-to-use foliar biostimulant that works with the plant rather than against the pest. Its modified plant elicitors trip the plant's own systemic acquired resistance, so defences are already primed when pathogens, sap-feeding pests or environmental stress arrive. Suited to hydroponic and soil systems, it strengthens resilience without the residues of a conventional pesticide.

Key Benefits

• Triggers induced systemic resistance using modified chitooligosaccharides and ß-glucans that plants read as an attack signal
• Broad protective priming against fungal pathogens (Alternaria, Phytophthora), viruses, nematodes and pests including aphids, whiteflies, thrips, mealybugs and spider mites
• Zero-day pre-harvest interval - food-grade substances that are exempt from maximum residue limits
• Ready to use - no mixing, no measuring, straight onto the canopy
• Improves crop quality, stress tolerance and post-harvest shelf life

Why do stressed plants show damage before you can react?

By the time stippling, wilting or fungal lesions appear, the plant is already on the back foot and yield quality is slipping. Elicitex primes the plant's natural defence pathways ahead of time, so it mounts a faster, stronger response the moment pest or pathogen pressure builds.

How to Use

• Prophylactic: spray once every 5 days as a routine preventive
• Under pressure: spray once every 3 days during active pest or disease pressure, then return to the 5-day rhythm
• Shake well, then cover both leaf surfaces including undersides to slight run-off
• Apply only to established, fully hydrated plants; use as a routine rather than a one-off rescue
