Bio-Fungicide. MILDOWN (Bacillus subtilis 2% A.S) Liquid CFU - 2 X 108 per ml Packaging : 250ml, 500ml, 1litr, 20litr Documents: MSDS / LABEL / CIB Registration License / COA / Trial reports Mode of Action : Bacillus subtilis is a rhizospheree and phyllosphere colonizing bacterium. These are proven bacterial and fungal antagonize that protect plants from diseases. They are able to control several soil borne, seed borne and air borne crop diseases caused by fungus belong to deuteromycetes, oomycetes, ascomycetes and bacterial plant pathogens. Because Bacillus subtilis forms spores, pesticide products containing this bacturanium are stable. Therefore, even if treated seeds are stored for prolonged period, the bacteria stay alive and then grow and multiply after the seeds are planted. Bacterial and fungal antagonism is due to nutrient composition on the site of exclusion, colonization of bacteria on fungal pathogen and release of cell content during growth to eliminate the fungal pathogen in immediate environment. It also induces plant natural systematic resistance against bacterial and fungal pathogen known as (SAR) Systematic Acquired Resistance. Growth Promotion Activity :Bacillus subtilis produce growth promoting substances thereby increase sprouting rate of seed and growth of seedlings and plant. Target Crops :Cotton, Pea, Beans, Millets, Pulses, Oilseeds, Tomato, Cucurbits, Potato, Mango, Ber, Grapes, Citrus, Ginger, Cereal, Pomegranate, Apple, Peach, Plum, Banana, Tea, Coffee, Plantation crop, and Cumin, Medicinal & Aromatic crops and Fruits & Vegetable crops.
