MG BioGuard®(Oil Palm) consists of a cocktail of indigenous microbes having antagonistic properties towards oil palm basal stem rot (BSR) causal agent, Ganoderma spp.
When MG BioGuard®(Oil Palm) is applied to the soil around the infected palm, the microbes quickly spread to control and inhibit the growth of the BSR causal agent.
MG BioGuard®(Oil Palm) carries a high percentage of organic matter and contains high content of humic and fulvic acids. Such bio-organic properties act like a sponge to increase the water holding capacity of the soil and improve the soil structure to prevent soil compaction. Besides that, organic matter will hold on to the nutrients and release them in the forms suitable for plant absorption. Healthier palms are therefore less susceptible to disease attack.
