Myconate®

● Formononetin is active ingredient – biologically active isoflavone● Discovered by researchers at Michigan State University● Natural signalling compound that stimulates development of mycorrhizal

fungi● Increases growth and colonization of roots by beneficial Vesicular-

Arbuscular Mycorrhizal (VAM) fungi, increasing absorbing surface area of roots

Harpin Proteins

●Harpins are a class of proteins that function in

nature as warning compounds

●Harpins are part of the attack mechanism of

pathogenic bacteria

●Derived from “Hypersensitive Response &

Pathogenicity N” gene (HrpN)

●Discovered by Zhongmin Wei et al. at Cornell

University

●Featured on cover of Science Magazine

●Received E.P.A. “Green Chemistry Challenge

Award” in 2002

●Acquired by PHC in 2007Wei, Z., Laby, R., Zumoff, C., Bauer, D., Ho, S.Y., Collmer, A. and Beer, S. (1992), “Harpin, elicitorof the hypersensitive response produced by the plant pathogen Erwinia amylovora”,Science, Vol. 2 No. 57, pp. 85-7.
