BOTECTOR – Organic Botrytis Protection for Vineyards

17. July 2025

We are excited to share our recent campaign for BOTECTOR, our leading biological fungicide to protect vineyards. Developed to combat Botrytis cinerea, one of the most damaging fungal threats to grape quality, BOTECTOR offers a residue-free, rainfast, and winemaking-safe solution that supports sustainable viticulture practices.

What is BOTECTOR?

BOTECTOR is a biological fungicide designed to protect vineyards from Botrytis cinerea, a widespread and destructive fungal pathogen. Its active ingredient, the naturally occurring microorganism Aureobasidium pullulans, prevents Botrytis from colonizing fruit surfaces. This unique mode of action significantly lowers the risk of resistance while leaving no harmful residues, making BOTECTOR an ideal choice for organic grape production.

Why BOTECTOR?

BOTECTOR is a certified organic fungicide which is designed for consistent performance and remains effective even after rainfall. In fact, rain can stimulate the growth of its active ingredient by up to 20%, enhancing its effectiveness in the field. The flexible application timing allows use at any fruit stage, with particularly effective results before and during bunch closure, providing preventative control as disease pressure reaches its peak.

BOTECTOR is also winemaking-friendly, with no impact on fermentation or wine flavor. Field trials confirm that the wine’s essential chemical composition is preserved, maintaining stable levels of alcohol, acidity, and sugar. This ensures quality and consistency from vineyard to bottle.
