Zillon®

Antiviral & prophylactic immunobooster

Phytotron began its antiviral programme in 2000. Zillon builds plant immunity against vector-spread viral disease: leaf curl in chilli, tomato, cotton and papaya; mosaic and yellow-vein mosaic in soybean, mung, okra and cucurbits. Preventive framing, always, like a child's treatment given in advance, not a cure after the fact.

Phytotron holds sales permissions for Zillon as an anti-viral and prophylactic treatment; it is ICAR approved.
