Under the direction of Prof Frahm from the University of Bonn, a number of native moss species were tested on crops infected with fungi, such as tomatoes, cucumbers, peppers and wheat. One particular type of liverwort proved to be convincing due to its plant-strengthening effect.
Liverwort extract is a natural product that is rapidly biodegradable. In contrast to fungicides such as copper broth, no residues remain in the soil. There are also no known side effects.
The total extract of mosses contains a "cocktail" of different chemical compounds. The synergistic effects of these combinations of active ingredients therefore play a role here. The cocktail stimulates an increased resistance of the treated plants to a variety of fungi and other pathogens.
The research was preceded by the observation that mosses growing in damp conditions are not themselves attacked by fungi and are also avoided by voracious snails and beetles. But mosses can do even more: North American Indians used them to make antiseptic wound dressings and the Canadian Red Cross drew on this traditional knowledge and used moss compresses for the wounded during the First World War.
Lebermooser is a plant strengthening substance for preventing fungal diseases and bacterioses. The alcoholic extract from a species of liverwort contains a "cocktail" of various chemical substances that increase the resistance of the treated plants to a variety of fungi and other pests.
Lebermooser is approved for organic farming! The product has been included in the "Betriebsmittelliste für den ökologischen Landbau in Deutschland". www.biologischgaertnern.de
Directions for use:
As a preventive measure, 5 ml/litre of water is sufficient. Spray the plants dripping wet during the vegetation phases in which the pathogen may appear on the treated host plants. Repeat the treatment about every 14 days. In case of frequent rainfall and strongly changing weather conditions, the treatment interval can be reduced to 7 days.
For better adhesion to the plants we recommend the application together with neem oil & neem oil emulsifier "Rimulgan". Due to the better adhesion, liverwort extract remains effective longer.
A detailed instruction leaflet is enclosed with the product.
Plant strengthening agent according to § 45 PflSchG listed at the Federal Office for Consumer Protection and Food under the No. LSN 025102-00/00.
In addition to the three components of the “Neem Combipack", Mildew Combipack Plus also contains the plant strengthening agent "Lebermooser". By dissolving the components in water, you get a highly effective spray broth that makes a decisive contribution to keeping your plants healthy. The resistance of your plants is strengthened against powdery and downy mildew as well as against other fungal diseases and bacterioses.
For easier handling, the components Neem Oil and Rimulgan are already premixed.
Dosage for 1 litre of water:
For soft-leaved plants (cucumbers and other vegetables):5 ml (g) Neem oil-emulsifier mixture + 2.5 ml (g) sodium hydrogen carbonate ( mildew salt) + 5 ml (g) liverwort.
For hard-leaved plants (roses, fruit trees and shrubs, many houseplants):10 ml (g) neem oil-emulsifier mixture + 10 ml (g) sodium hydrogen carbonate ( mildew salt) + 5 ml (g) Lebermooser
Neol Moss Extract Spray is a ready-to-use spray with liver moss extract for skin and fur care. It ensures a smooth and shiny fur and makes it difficult for microorganisms and fungi to adhere to and spread on the fur.
Discover tried and tested from nature: mosses have existed for more than 350 million years in damp shady regions and are not attacked by fungi or bacteria there.
Application instructions:
Spray the spray finely onto the stressed areas of the coat and skin.
Ingredients:
Water, alcoholic moss extract
The foot cream with moss extract contains a high proportion of essential oils and camphor in addition to the natural extract of liverwort. This cream cools, cares for and revitalises the feet and also helps with perspiration odour. It pleasantly relieves agonising soreness of the feet. It also regulates moisture, stimulates cell metabolism and reduces cornification. Moss extract foot cream has a very pleasant fragrance and consistency, and is quickly absorbed without being excessively greasy. Healthy freshness and invigorating elasticity are best achieved when the cream is massaged in after washing.
