YSY® Yeast — Biological Fungicide: Origin, Action & Biology
This video explains the origin and biological mechanisms of YSY® Yeast as a biological fungicide. It breaks down how this patented yeast strain works in crop protection, emphasizing its mode of action through competitive colonization and exclusion of plant pathogens rather than chemical toxicity. The presentation highlights YSY®’s natural, biology-based approach to disease control, its environmental safety, and its role within integrated pest management.
YSY® Yeast — Soil Activity: Nematode Control
This video demonstrates how YSY® Yeast functions as a biological solution against nematodes in agricultural settings. It explains the yeast’s mode of action in suppressing nematode activity through competitive interactions and biological processes rather than chemical toxicity. The presentation highlights practical field or greenhouse examples of nematode reduction, positioning YSY® as an eco-friendly tool for integrated pest and soil health management.
YSY® Mode of Action — Soil Borne Disease Control
This video explains the biological mode of action behind YSY® Yeast as a crop protection solution for soil borne disease control. It focuses on how the yeast interacts with plant pathogens and the environment to suppress disease without synthetic chemicals, emphasizing competitive colonization, nutrient competition, enzyme production, and resilience in stressful conditions. The video also illustrates practical applications and field outcomes, positioning YSY® as an eco-friendly, science-based tool for growers.
YSY® Yeast — Stone Fruit Disease Control
This video provides an accessible overview of how YSY® Yeast provides biological stone fruit disease control. It explains the key mode of actions, like competitive colonization, resource competition, and suppression of pathogens, that enable YSY® to reduce disease pressure without relying on synthetic chemicals. The presentation also shows practical examples of YSY® application in agricultural settings and highlights its role in sustainable integrated pest management systems.
YSY® Yeast for Biological Nematode Control: IR-4 2024 USA technology session
This video presents how YSY® Yeast is used as a biological tool to manage plant-parasitic nematodes. Shown during a 2024 IR-4 Technology Session, it explains the yeast’s mode of action for nematode suppression through ecological and competitive mechanisms rather than synthetic chemicals, highlights application contexts, and positions YSY® as an eco-friendly alternative in integrated pest management.
YSY® Yeast in Action — Control of Soil Borne Diseases: IR-4 2025 USA technology session
This video gives an accessible overview of YSY® Yeast and how it controls soil borne pathogens and nematodes while improving soil and plant health. It breaks down the yeast’s ecology-based mode of action — how it colonizes plant surfaces, competes with pathogens, and supports plant health — and illustrates practical examples of its use in agricultural systems. The presentation positions YSY® as a sustainable, non-toxic alternative to conventional fungicides and nematocides within integrated pest management frameworks.
YSY® Yeast Volatilome Mode of Action for Soil Borne Disease Control: IR-4 2026 USA
YSY® Yeast (Papiliotrema terrestris PT22AV) protects crops from soil-borne diseases through a volatilome-based mode of action. After colonizing the rhizosphere, the yeast releases bioactive volatile compounds that diffuse through the soil, suppressing pathogenic fungi and other harmful organisms around the roots. This natural mechanism helps reduce disease pressure while supporting plant resilience in a sustainable, non-toxic way compatible with integrated pest management (IPM).
Mode of Action YSY® Yeast (Papiliotrema terrestris PT22AV): Biocontrol Conference 2025 Napoli, Italy
YSY® Yeast is a sustainable biocontrol product developed by Agroventures using Papiliotrema terrestris (PT22AV) to protect crops from a wide range of pathogens. It works through a multi-mode biological action—competing for nutrients, forming protective barriers, and stimulating plant defenses—while also improving plant resilience. Field trials show it can match or outperform chemical treatments, with strong safety for humans, pollinators, and the environment. It integrates easily into IPM programs and offers a promising, eco-friendly alternative to conventional pesticides.
YSY Yeast for the Containment of Root System Pathogens: Giornate Fitopatologiche Bologna 2026
AgroVentures participated in the Giornate Fitopatologiche in Bologna, where Professor Giovanni Minuto presented results on YSY®, a yeast-based biocontrol product. Multi-year field and greenhouse trials showed consistent effectiveness against soil-borne pathogens like Rhizoctonia and Pythium, as well as reduced nematode pressure. When integrated into standard programs, YSY® matched or improved performance compared to conventional treatments while reducing chemical use and supporting higher yields, reinforcing its value in sustainable IPM strategies.
