vivastTM Elicitor and Plant growth Enhancer
vivast™ is a proprietary unique range of products based on advanced polymerization technique of Poly D-Gulosamine non-toxic biodegradable polymer that combines a unique set of versatile physicochemical and biological characteristics which allow for a wide range of applications. vivast™ triggers a defense response within the plant, leading to the formation of physical and chemical barriers against invading pathogens (acting much like a vaccine ). A range of products has been developed using vivast technology catering different needs of organic farming for best product quality and profitablity getting premium in the market place. vivast™ acts in a unique way by activation of defensive genes in plants in response to insect and pathogen attacks in which various elicitors generated at the attack sites activate the octadecanoid pathway via different recognition events to induce the expression of defensive genes in local and distal tissues of the plants. vivast™ is used for seed treatment, foliar application and soil application. vivast™ has been proved to boost seed germination and vitality, stimulate emergence and sprouting, enhance plant vigor, promote root growth, promote foliar growth induces certain enzymes (synthesis of phytoalexins, chitinases, pectinases, glucanases, and lignin), increase crops yields, improve crop vigor and quality. Suppress diseases and pathogens; activate plant resistances to environment stress, drought, and disease pressures, including the suppression of parasitic nematodes. vivast™ has been proved to protect tomato, cucumber, pea, melon, strawberry, lettuce and pearl millet against powdery and downy mildews as well as other diseases. vivast™ has been one of the best choice for the greenhouse crops, organic farming, and product of high export value. It has been one of the best proved alternatives for the post harvest treatment of fruits and vegetables against the toxic chemicals.
vivast™ has been widely used on corn, Potato, canola, soybeans, rice, sugar beets, vegetables, herbs, sunflowers, wheat, grains, cereals, legumes, and flowers.
Seed Treatment: The best choice to start the farming
vivast™ can boost seed germination and vitality, stimulate emergence and sprouting, enhance plant vigor, promote growth, suppress disease and pathogens, activate plant resistances to and disease pressures, including the suppression of parasitic nematodes, increase crop yields, and improve crop quality.
Low temperature stress during germination and early seedling growth is important constrain for every farm globally, vivast™ helps in overcoming this problem globally.
Seed priming with vivast™ enhanced seed germination index, reduced the germination time, increased shoot height, root length and shoot and root and shoot dry weight, which has the direct correlation on the crop yield.
Seed Priming with vivast™ for 60 ̴64 hrs have the best effect by improving the speed of germination in Maize, Peanuts etc and seedling growth under low temperature stress. Seed coating in carrot restrain further development of sclerotinia rot.
Lettuce seed treated with vivast™ has provide the equivalent seed germination percentage and in addition provide elicit the immune response against soil microorganism and making the seedling stronger during the initial stage of growth with more root length and shoot length.
vivast™ is recommended for use as seed treatment on corn, soybeans, Potatoes, vegetables, herbs, grains, legumes, fruit, citrus and pastures. It protects them against fungus, mosaic, virus, stem wilt , damp-off, early blight, late blight and mold.
For best results use pH neutral (pH 6.9 to 7.0) mix water. Follow specific crop instructions for dilution rates and application usage. Do not apply within three days of harvesting.
Elicitor of Plant Defense Mechanism and : Antimicrobial activity against Virus, Fungus and Bacteria
vivast™ exhibits a variety of antimicrobial activities. vivast™ has a special manufacturing process and advanced polymerization technology to be highly effective than the regular active ingredient. This has been proved in various field trials and farmers have seen it on their field. vivast™ has been reported to have a better antifungal activity.
vivast™ is been used as to control disease or reduce their spread, to chelate nutrients and minerals preventing pathogens from accessing them to enhance plant innate defenses, in both monocotyledons and dicotyledons. The defence mechanism is induced by lignification, ion influx variations, cytoplasmic acidification, membrane depolarization and protein phosphorylation and expression of unique early responsive and defense-related genes.
vivast™ in cucumber efficiently reduces susceptibility to downy mildew caused by P. cubensin a way similar to a standard fungicide. Applications of vivast™ is most effective in this concern. Application of vivast™ showed significant increase in cucumber growth parameters attributed to increased ion uptake, cell elongation, cell division, enzymatic activation and protein synthesis also elicit the resistance against pathogens, by activating the genes. vivast™ is also effective in controlling Pythium root rot of cucumber when amended with soil along with other micronutrients.
vivast™ application in rice by seed soaking before planting followed by soil application for four times throughout cropping season tended to stimulate growth and significantly increased rice yield. On the other hand, seed soaking before planting followed by foliar application tended to generate an ability in disease control.
vivast™ formulation induces downy mildew disease resistance and growth promotion in pearl millet. Soaking the seed for 6 hours have the maximum germination and high seedling vigor. Seed treatment and foliar application have shown 70% control and reduction on the downy mildew severity. Also this has promoted the growth of the plant and increased the yield and also protected the plant from other disease by building up the resistance mechanism.

vivast™ is commercially used as soil treatment for effective control of Rhizoctonia solani,Fusarium solani and Sclerotiumrolfsii which causes tomato root rot. vivast™ as a fungicide alternative is considered as one of low cost and effective applicable methods for controlling such soilborne plant pathogens causing tomato root rot diseases
Post-harvest: Preferred option to stay healthy
The consumer market sets high expectations for food coating substances which are analyzed in view of their health implica¬tions and antibacterial properties. vivast™ has a number of health ben¬efits – it is an effective antioxidant capable of retaining vitamin C in fruit and vegetables, and it has bacteriostatic and bactericidal properties. Since vivast™ is natural and biodegradable, it will be a biologically sound alternative to fungicide.
In order to control post-harvest diseases, addition of vivast™ stimulated microbial degradation of the pathogens in a way resembling the application of hyper-parasite. This application is important because it suggests the alternatives of the use of pesticides on fresh fruit storage.
Coating tomatoes with vivast™ have shown to delay ripening by modifying the internal atmosphere, which reduced decays due to pathogens. We have been working on new applications in the post harvest usage and the results are promising.
vivast™ dipping proved 30% lower ripening rates in sugar-apples ( Custard Apples), Annona squamosa, in addition it was found that vivast™ treated sugar-apples maintained their quality better and preserved nutrient qualities during a storage period of 12 days at 10°C.
vivast™ On table grape forms a film on the surface of the berries that can act as a physical barrier to the infection, reducing conidial germination and mycelial growth of B. cinerea and resulting in a long-lasting protection of grape berries against gray mold.
vivast™ form a semi-permeable coating around plant tissues and thereby inhibits the activity of plant pathogenic fungi. It inhibit the radial mycelial growth of Colletotricum musae significantly. Since vivast™ is natural and biodegradable, it will be a biologically sound alternative to fungicides for post harvest treatment of anthracnose in banana.
vivast™ shows antifungal activity to the anthracnose disease causing fungus and stimulates the defense response on the papaya peel by increasing the chitinase and β,1-3 glucanase activities. The antifungal activity of vivast™ is attributed to the induction of elicitation activity due to these defense enzymes. It also forms a semi-permeable coating around the fruit and extends storage life of papaya by reducing the rate of respiration and delaying
