A mycoherbicide is adapted to be sprayed in solution on to an agricultural property such as seeds, germinating seeds, seedlings or plants and comprises a moisturizer such as water which is microencapsulated for time release onto the surface of agricultural property. In a further embodiment of the invention, a microencapsulated phase change material is also added to the solution to control the temperature on the surface of the agricultural property. A sticker is employed to enhance retention of the microcapsules on the agricultural property. The solution operates to control the microclimate on the surface of the agricultural property in order to enhance the effectiveness of the mycoherbicide fungi or bacteria on the host or to provide frost/freeze protection at low temperatures. In another aspect of the invention, microencapsulated phase change materials such as water and/or paraffinic hycrocarbons are applied to the surface of the agricultural property in order to regulate the microclimate to enhance germination and to limit the ability of soilborne pathogens to infect the agricultural property.

La présente invention concerne un mycoherbicide conçu pour être pulvérisé en solution sur une propriété agricole composée de graines, de graines à germination, de semis ou de plantes. Le mycoherbicide comprend un humidifiant, tel que l'eau, qui a été encapsulé afin d'avoir une action retard sur la surface de la propriété. Dans un deuxième mode de réalisation, on ajoute également à la solution une substance microencapsulée à changement de phase, de manière à réguler la température de la surface de la propriété. Par ailleurs, on utilise un adhésif pour améliorer la rétention des microcapsules sur la surface de la propriété. La solution agit de manière à réguler le microclimat sur ladite surface afin d'améliorer l'efficacité du mycoherbicide bactérien ou eumycète sur l'hôte, ou assurer une protection contre le givre/gel à basses températures. Dans un troisième mode de réalisation, on applique sur la surface précitée lesdites substances encapsulées, telles que l'eau et/ou les hydrocarbures paraffiniques, pour réguler le microclimat, améliorant ainsi la germination et limitant la capacité des agents pathogènes du sol à infecter la propriété agricole.
