[QUOTE="Northantsplants, post: 8134172, member: 71356"] Good question. Yes, unlike conventional fungicides, chitosan is not directly biocidal. Instead it acts by activating plant defence mechanisms and producing a bioplastic barrier to spores. Chitosan has got a long history of use in brewing and in drug delivery. As such, it is safe to use just before harvest. I just published a blog post on the subject of PHI and chitosan here: [URL]https://www.eutrema.co.uk/post/why-chitosan-is-the-most-flexible-fungicide[/URL] [/QUOTE]
