Product scienceHow It Works: Mode of Action

Gretel works by disrupting the cell division process of the fungus, effectively stopping it from growing and spreading.

  1. Absorption: Upon application, Gretel is absorbed by the roots (via soil drench) or leaves (via spray).
  2. Translocation: It travels upward through the plant's water system (xylem) to reach even the untreated tips.
  3. Elimination: It attacks the fungal cells during division (mitosis), destroying the germ tubes and mycelia, leading to fungal death.

This systemic movement ensures that the fungus cannot hide inside the plant tissue.
