The Library explains physiology, biology, chemistry, modules, combinations, stages, preparation, reasoning, evidence and limits. Private details of formulas, quantities, dosages, internal weights or authorizations remain subject to the actual delivery gates.

This Library is updated continuously. The underlying content is already complete on every entry; we keep polishing the writing, entry by entry, so it reads clearer and more precise over time.

TAF-02 · Fusarium Antifungal — bulb rot

FULL PROFILE

The 17 points of this module

Each section opens separately — tap the title to expand it.

1. Code, name, species

TAF-02 — Fusarium Antifungal. Tulipa spp. This module belongs to the Tulip Catalog family, within the Defense functional class, and is prepared as an infusion within Yolia's complete catalog of documented safe modules for the species in this system.

2. Application method

Root watering / direct bulb treatment before planting. This method was chosen because it distributes the contribution gradually toward the area where the plant can absorb it, being consistent with the rest of the Tulip Catalog family's modules documented in this catalog.

3. What the real problem/need is

Unlike Botrytis (which attacks leaf and flower), several species of the genus *Fusarium* attack the bulb directly, causing dry rot — the bulb initially looks normal on the outside, but cutting it open reveals rotten, reddish-brown internal tissue.

4. Exact function

Specifically protecting the bulb (not the leaf) against soil rot fungi — a different timing and objective than TAF-01. This specific function is what the Yolia engine evaluates when considering whether module TAF-02 is relevant to a case within the Tulip Catalog family.

5. Chemistry

Pure cinnamon at a concentrated dose is a real, documented practice in commercial bulb management — literally dusting or treating bulbs with cinnamon before storing or planting is a known organic technique specifically against Fusarium.

6. Preparation method

[Infusion], used both as a preventive substrate watering and to directly treat the bulb's surface before planting. As an infusion, this preparation process is what determines the final availability of the active compounds before being applied within the family's program.

7. Mechanism

Protective barrier over the bulb's surface, this fungus's real entry point — the fungus generally enters through small wounds or the base spot where the old root used to be. This mechanism is what Yolia's engine documents when evaluating the real function of module TAF-02.

8. Stage of use

Before planting (direct bulb treatment) and as preventive watering throughout the period the bulb is in the soil, especially in moist substrate. This stage was chosen because it's when the plant can best take advantage of this specific input.

9. Frequency

One-time treatment at planting, plus preventive irrigation every 3-4 weeks. This frequency aims to sustain the effect without saturating the plant, taking into account the stability and preparation method specific to this infusion module within the Tulip Catalog family.

10. Stability

5-7 days refrigerated (more stable than TAF-01, without the same dependence on fresh allicin). This stability time reflects how long the preparation retains its activity before losing effectiveness, being relevant for planning the application frequency of this infusion module.

11. Concentration

Moderate for direct bulb treatment, low for continuous preventive watering. This concentration level is adjusted according to the sensitivity of the use stage and the specific function of this module within the Defense functional class of Yolia's complete catalog.

12. How the engine processes it

Capacidad `defensa_biologica`. El motor lo activa automáticamente en el evento "plantación de bulbo" del caso, distinto del disparador de TAF-01. Así es como el motor de Yolia evalúa la inclusión de este módulo TAF-02 dentro de una fórmula, considerando su función específica dentro de la familia.

13. Compatibility

Recommended for use together with [TU-01] at planting time. This compatibility is checked within the Compatibility Engine before including this module together with other elements of the Tulip Catalog family in the same formula generated for the case.

14. What to expect

A bulb that, when dug up (or at the next harvest), shows no rotten/discolored internal tissue. This expected signal helps verify whether module TAF-02 is working as documented within the Defense functional class of Yolia's complete catalog of safe modules.

15. If misused

Low risk of phytotoxicity to the bulb at the correct doses. This is the risk the Risk Engine considers before approving a higher concentration or frequency for this infusion module within the Tulip Catalog family of the complete catalog.

16. Special precaution

It is the module of greatest preventive importance in the entire tulip catalog — loss from Fusarium is silent (not seen until digging up or until the bulb simply fails to emerge) and often irreversible once established. This precaution is part of the safety documentation.

17. Related to

[TU-01] Bulb Rooting — [TAF-01] Botrytis Antifungal — [How to identify a healthy bulb before planting] These relationships help understand how this TAF-02 module connects with other elements of the Tulip Catalog family and the Defense functional class within the complete catalog.
