Organic TripleX is an biofungicide that aids in the control of Botrytis cinerea in grapes, avocado, top fruit and vegetables. In kiwifruit TripleX reduces sooty mould and increases the percentage of marketable fruit.
BioStart Organic TripleX has two functional components; Bacillus amyloliquefaciens BS 1b and a combination of fermentation extracts and other bioactive nutrients. The B. amyloliquefaciens BS 1b is the microbial active ingredient in Organic TripleX and controls Botrytis and prevents sooty mould. The fermentation extracts help to prime the plants leaf biofilm and create an ideal environment for the establishment of the B. amyloliquefaciens.
Like all biocontrol agents, the best results for Organic TripleX are obtained when the product is used as a preventative. It works by colonising the foliage, flowers and fruit (areas where the disease-causing fungi like to grow) to protect against Botrytis and sooty mould-causing fungi. The B. amyloliquefaciens produces antimicrobial compounds that destroy the disease and reduce re-infection.
Organic TripleX is Registered pursuant to the ACVM act 1997 No P8137.
Every batch of OrganicTripleX is independently tested to be free of amino alcohols and quaternary ammonium compounds (DDAC).
Organic Triplex is BioGro-Certified.

| Pre bunch closure | Spray the bunch line at a dilution rate of 1:200 (500 mL/100 L). Minimum 1.5 L/ha water rate i.e. apply 1.5 L/ha in 300 L of water. | |
| Late season | Spray the bunch line fortnightly at a dilution rate of 1:200 (500 mL/100 L), Minimum 1.5 L/ha water rate i.e. apply 1.5 L/ha in 300 L of water. | |
| Vegetables, Stone Fruit, Citrus, Avocado and Persimmons Botrytis | Prior to periods of disease pressure | Spray fortnightly on to vegetables/fruit and foliage at a dilution rate of 1:200(500 mL/100 L). Minimum 1.5 L/ha in 300 – 500 L of water per hectare. May be applied with an approved super wetter to increase coverage, always check crop safety prior to use of any tank mixtures. |
| Kiwifruit sooty mould prevention | EEarly January to late March when passion vine hoppers and cicadas are active | Spray 2-3 weekly intervals on to fruit and foliage. Apply a minimum of 3 L/ha diluted in 1,000 L water. Add an approved super wetter at the recommended label rate (Call 0800 116 229 if uncertain of compatibility) to ensure good fruit coverage including the stem where most sooty mould infections are located. |
Pack sizes available: 1, 5 and 20 L.
Ensure good spray coverage for optimum disease control. Sprayers should be calibrated before use. For best results spray early morning, early evening or in overcast conditions. Do not apply if heavy rain is forecast within the next 24 hrs. OrganicTriplex has limited efficacy if day time temperatures do not reach 18 C.
BioStart Organic TripleX can be applied with most cover and nutritional sprays. Some spreaders may reduce efficacy. An extensive chemical compatibility list is available below. If the product you would like to co-apply is not listed, please contact your local BioStart Territory Manager.
Organic TripleX contains living microbes. Prior to use the spray tank must be thoroughly cleaned to remove any chemical residues that could be toxic to the BS1b microbe. Sanitise spray tank before application to remove any contaminating microbes. Partially fill the spray tank with clean water and start agitation. Maintain a spray solution pH between 5.0 and 7.5 or efficacy may be affected. Add the required amount of Organic TripleX to the tank. Complete filling. Apply diluted product within 8 hours of mixing. Store Organic TripleX below 25°C and out of direct sunlight.
Sooty mould prevention: Use Organic TripleX in conjunction with approved insecticidal sprays to reduce numbers of PVH and cicadas in the orchard and boundary areas.
Botrytis control: Integrate Organic TripleX into an overall disease management strategy whenever fungicide use is necessary. Follow practices known to reduce disease development which may include rotating and/or tank-mixing with other products with different modes of action.
