Mak Group - Solutions for disease control in durian

Durian trees are susceptible to diseases such as anthracnose, fruit rot, and stem cracking with sap exudation, which reduce yield. Mak Group offers effective disease management solutions to improve the quality of the orchards.

In recent years, Vietnam's agricultural sector has witnessed a boom in durian cultivation area, opening up opportunities for sustainable wealth creation for thousands of farmers. However, this rapid expansion has made it difficult for many farmers to access systematic pest and disease management techniques, leading to unnecessary economic losses.

Dangerous diseases such as stem cracking and sap exudation, leaf blight, and especially durian fruit rot are a major concern, causing serious declines in yield and commercial quality. Without timely and proper intervention, fungal diseases can wipe out an entire harvest for farmers.

Understanding these concerns, Mak Group has researched and developed optimal plant protection solutions that simplify the process of caring for and managing pests and diseases. These methods not only help control diseases thoroughly but also save on investment costs. Below are solutions shared by many farmers in key raw material producing regions who have trusted and used them for many years:

1. Solution for managing anthracnose on durian leaves, flowers, and young fruits (TUTIN 40SL + BIOTOP 30WP)

The causative agent of anthracnose disease in durian is the fungus Colechotrichum spp.

The solution is a combination of two active ingredients:

Kasugamycin inhibits protein synthesis, reducing the growth of Colletotrichum fungi and making it more difficult for them to infect the fungus.

Polyoxin B inhibits the formation of cell wall chitin, causing fungal hyphae to deform and die. The combination of these two active ingredients enhances the effectiveness of anthracnose disease control in durian, achieving high efficacy.

2. Solutions for managing durian fruit rot (TUTIN 40SL + HUSSA 722SL)

Main causative agent: Caused by the fungus Phytophthora palmivora and other opportunistic fungi, including bacteria.

Kasugamycin inhibits protein synthesis, reducing the growth of pathogenic fungi and bacteria, and limiting the development of lesions. Propamocarb inhibits the formation of cell membranes and hyphae of Phytophthora palmivora, causing the fungus to stop growing and gradually die.

At the same time, the solution incorporates drip irrigation to thoroughly address soil-borne pathogens and provide more effective long-term management.

3. Solution for Stem Cracking and Sap Eruption (HUSSA 722SL + BIO TOP 30WP)

Main causative agent: Caused by the fungus Phytophthora palmivora.

The solution is a combination of two advanced active ingredients: Propamocarb and Polyoxin B.

Propamocarb: Acts directly by inhibiting the formation of cell membranes and the growth of Phytophthora fungal hyphae. This active ingredient has strong systemic properties, allowing the pesticide to penetrate deep into plant tissues, preventing the spread of ulcers and quickly drying out sap-oozing lesions.

Polyoxin B: Inhibits chitin biosynthesis in fungal cell walls, preventing new fungal spores from forming complete cell walls, leading to deformation and ultimately eradicating the pathogen.

The combination of Propamocarb's systemic action and Polyoxin B's specific antibiotic mechanism creates a double "shield," not only helping wounds on the tree trunk heal quickly but also strengthening the tree's resistance to fungal diseases under unfavorable weather conditions.

The journey of durian cultivation has never been easy, especially when facing increasingly complex disease pressures. Mak Group offers solutions that are highly valued by many farmers for their effectiveness and cost optimization, helping them to have more proactive and sustainable orchard management options.
