SOFTGUARD® is a linear polysaccharide (Oligosaccharide) algal liquid fertilizer with high content of seaweed extract and chitosan Oligosaccharide to promote plant growth.

It is obtained from the deacetylation of chitin, a long-chain polymer of N-acetyl-glucosamine present and easily extracted from fungal cell walls or crustacean shells. Soft Guard® is a chitosan-oligosaccharide-based formulation that prevents fungal, bacterial, and virus infections in plants. It can also significantly restrain nematodes.

Soft Guard® is a crop immunity enhancer (plant resistance elicitation) and pathogen control agent.
