“Chitin and Chitosan have been  proven to control numerous pre and post harvest diseases on various  horticultural commodities. It has been scientifically demonstrated that both  soil and foliar plant pathogens of fungal, bacterial and viral origin may be controlled  using chitin and/or  chitosan based  products”.Sciences direct Crop Protection 25 (2006) 108-118

        Sol-Actif® stimulate soil biodiversity and restors  beneficial organisms that attack, repel, or otherwise antagonize  disease-causing plant pathogens. Sol-Actif like a vaccination render a soil  disease-suppressive. Plants growing in disease-suppressive soil resist diseases  much better than in soils low in biological diversity.   
       
         - Better  survival rate after transplantation. 
 
        
       Existence of  antagonistics micro-organisms in great quantity surrounding roots increase  nutriment absortion and enable plants to develop normally despite the existence  in soil of disease causing pathogens and a susceptible host. 
       Sol-Actif® stimulate mycorrhizal fungi that form symbiotics associations  with plants roots. This greater soil biodiversity improve nutriment  availability for plants, particularly for nitrogen and phosphore, which have a  great impact on production rate.
       
         - Simple and without danger.
 
              
      Sol-Actif®is without  danger for human, animals and environment.
