Pseudomonas fluorescens 1.0% WP is a nonpathogenic, gram-negative bacterium that can be used in agriculture for biocontrol and bioremediation.CFU Count:1 x 108 cfu / grams
Mode of action:
fluorescens can induce systemic resistance in plants against fungal diseases, reducing the severity of infections.
It stimulates the production of plant defense-related enzymes and compounds that enhance the plant's ability to withstand pathogen attacks.
Benefits of Pseudomonas fluorescens 1.0% WP:
Pseudomonas fluorescens 1.0% WP protect crops from a number of soil borne / seed borne plant pathogens.
It is specific to the plant pathogens and eco-friendly in nature.
It induces resistance in crop plants also.
It helps in controlling pathogenic nematodes present in the soil.
Recommendations:
Seed Treatment: Mix 20-25 gm formulation in 1 litre of water and applied specially tuber crops like Potato, Sweet potato etc. Shade dry the seeds for 20-30 minutes before sowing.
Seedlings Treatment: Dissolve 500 gm formulation in 25 litre of water. Dip seedling root for about half an hour in the suspension and transplant immediately.
Nursery Seed Bed Preparation: Mix 500 gm formulation in 10 kg of well-decomposed farm yard manure/compost/vermicompost and broadcast in an acre.
Horticulture/Vegetable Crops: Mix 500 gm formulation in 100 litre of water and drench the soil near the root zone up to 15 – 20 cm depth for collar rot control with high volume sprayer without nozzler or big nozzle
