Biological Defense for a Healthier, More Resilient Crop
Tidal Grow® Spectra is a biological fungicide, bactericide, and nematicide liquid concentrate that aids in controlling agricultural diseases and pests while strengthening overall crop vigor. Its chitosan-based formula enhances the plant’s natural defenses, promotes healthy microbial balance, and supports long-term soil and plant vitality.
By combining disease suppression with biological stimulation, Spectra offers an effective, non-toxic solution for modern crop protection—defending roots, foliage, and yield potential without disrupting beneficial soil organisms.
