EQUISTUN is a basic substance made of Equisetum arvense L known as horsetail (Nº CAS: 71011-23-9). The equisetum is a perennial bush to the Equisetaceae family, that presents a rhizomatous stem and is distributed throughout the northern hemisphere. It is rich in silicon (10-25% MS) in nanoparticle form (SiO2). In addition, also it is characterized by its flavonoids content, like hydroxycinnamic acids (caffeic acid and phenolic acids), compounds that have antimicrobial and antifungal activity.

EQUISTUN strengthens the defense mechanisms of crops against pathogenic fungi. Thanks to the silicon EQUISTUN provides rigidity to the plant walls, making difficult for the fungi to cause infections. In addition, thanks to the careful extraction process, EQUISTUN presents in its chemical composition styrylpyrones, which are part of the chemical composition of the fungi, triggering in the plant a defensive response against the presence of these metabolites.

Use in organic farming approved by CAAE under the requirement RCE 834/2007 & NOP
