PRODUCT FEATURES
Propolis is a resinous substance collected by bees, used to defend the hive from health issues. The product is a natural extract containing exclusively the active fraction of Propolis, composed of vitamins and flavonoids. Propolis is used in organic agriculture as a plant protectant and biostimulant for various plants. Among its various functions, it exerts a protective action by enhancing plant defenses against attacks by fungi (powdery mildew and other molds) and bacteria, protects plants from external attacks of various natures, promotes the healing of wounds due to pruning trauma and/or unfavorable environmental conditions, improves fruit resistance at harvest when applied pre-harvest, and enhances their storage by reducing the onset of rot when applied post-harvest. Finally, thanks to its distinct fragrance, it promotes pollination by attracting pollinating insects (bees and bumblebees). It is applicable in fruit growing, horticulture, and gardening and can be used at any time during the production cycle, including flowering. When used in a tank mix with sulfurs or copper salts, it increases their efficacy. It must not be used mixed with Bordeaux mixture.

DIRECTIONS FOR USE
Apply the product as a foliar spray, shaking well before use. Use Propolis alone during the flowering, fruit set, and pre-harvest stages at 10-12 day intervals. When applied alone, dilute 2-2.5 ml of product in 1 liter of water, spraying the plant from a distance of 40-50 cm and uniformly wetting the entire surface (including the underside of the leaves). When applied in a tank mix with fungicides, dilute 1.5-2 ml of product in 1 liter of water. For a protective action, treat every 5-10 days after the first application. Repeat the treatment immediately after a hailstorm. 1 liter of solution is sufficient to treat approximately 10 m2.
