Pseudomonas fluorescens 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:

• Pseudomonas fluorescens 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/vermi compost 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
