Faget ltd. Agro consulting
Faget d.o.o. is a private consulting company dedicated to combating GTD (Grapevine Trunk Diseases) including Esca, Eutipa and Phytoplasma.
Through over 8000 demonstrative experiments conducted between 2017 – 2021, we have demonstrated that it is possible to reduce GTD and maintain grape production significantly.
We developed Inhibo HBF herbal paste as the best solution in that period.

Curative use of INHIBO HBF - treatment of vines infected with GTD diseases
Recognizing symptoms in the crown and cross-section of the vine show us how much the disease has affected the vine and which vine can be cured.
Procedure: cut the vine 20 – 40 cm higher than the place of grafting, especially above thethickening with buds or an shoot without symptoms.
Phytoplasma, Bacteria
Phytoplasma - suppression and prevention of spread
Pathogen: Bacteria, Mollicutes.
Vector: Leafhopper and possibly other insects
The time of Phytoplasma infection is related to the appearance of the carrier, when the
temperatures are sufficient for its activity. Infected plants that were not removed from the vineyard
last year are a source of infection even before symptoms appear. The biggest problem is partially
infected plants, which have a shoot on one side of the plant and which the winegrowers leave during
pruning.
