DCM Tomato concept, the ideal strategy for a vigorous plant

PMV®-01

Just after planting

PMV®-01 is a vaccination strategy that has been used since 2011 in greenhouse tomato cultivation to offer protection against the highly infectious Pepino mosaic virus (PepMV). This vaccination strategy offers a sustainable and biological way to avoid serious quality and production losses caused by PepMV.

PMV®-01 is the result of 10 years of scientific research in Belgium, the Netherlands and Spain. This research showed that the best protection against PepMV was achieved with a vaccination strategy based on a unique, mild and stable Chilean PepMV-isolate. This isolate quickly colonizes the plants and subsequently offers optimal protection against PepMV damage. Based on this knowledge PMV®-01 was developed. The product itself has a certified production process with strict quality controls.

DCM INTERACT®

Before or during first flower set

DCM INTERACT® is a liquid biostimulant based on a natural polysaccharide. DCM INTERACT® gives a temporary and reversible generative impulse in a young stadium of the tomato plants, by which the polysaccharide optimizes the nutrient uptake. Naturally, the degree and speed of the plant's response depends on the plant species and variety, stage of growth and climate conditions.

DCM INTERACT® is interesting if you are looking for a generative boost for your crop. Application of the product ensures an earlier ripening of the first truss and a lower fruit load at the beginning of the cultivation. In addition, it can also result in a heavier first truss.

DCM VITACT® F

Plants on slabs

DCM VITACT® F consists of a unique combination of several Bacillus spp. with lignosulphonates. The different Bacillus isolates colonize the rhizosphere. They provide more fine root hairs and thus promote a better absorption of nutrients. Providing these nutrients to the plants allows a more optimal and faster rooting , which makes the plants stronger and showing a better growth pattern.

DCM VITACT® F also contains lignosulphonates, which are complex organic carbon chains. These lignosulphonates increase the availability of nutrients to the roots and thus stimulate the root formation of the plant.

Through its combined effect of Bacillus spp. and lignosulphonates, DCM VITACT® F ensures an optimal start of the growing season.

DCM IMPULS TD®

End of spring or before a stressful period

DCM IMPULS TD® is a biostimulant based on various Trichoderma spp. isolates, a soil fungus that lives in the rhizosphere. These Trichoderma isolates mainly feed on root exudates and organic matter. By applying several Trichoderma isolates, DCM IMPULS TD® is effective under different (climate) conditions.

DCM IMPULS TD® stimulates nutrient uptake, which results in better root growth and therefore better shoot system growth. The application of DCM IMPULS® TD results in an increased plant resistance: the plant is more resistant to all kinds of abiotic stress, including heat and sub-optimal watering. In addition, the application of Trichoderma in the rhizosphere ensures higher biodiversity and a more active soil life.

DCM IMPULS TD® is interesting if you are looking for a vegetative boost of your crop during a period of stress, for example when the plant is heavily loaded with fruits or during the summer months.
