PRODUCT : Containing strain of Bacillus subtilis.
TRADE NAME : Bio Strain Active WP/ AS
ACTIVE INGREDIENT : Cell Mass and Spores of Bacillus subtilis CFU count : 2 x 109/ml. min. or 2 x 109/gm. min.
FORMULATION : AS (Aqueous Suspension) and WP (Wettable Powder)
SPECTRUM : Highly active on root rot and stem rot caused by Schlerotinia, Macrophomia; wilt caused by Verticillum, Fusarium; ; leaf spot caused by Alternaria, Cercospora; powdery mildew caused by Erysiphae; black scarf in potato caused by Rhizoctonia; downy mildew and many other bacterial and fungal diseases caused in various crops like Cotton, Pulses, Paddy, Groundnut, Fruits, Vegetables and Plantation crops.
MODE OF ACTION : Bio Strain Active WP/ AS bacteria produce a class of lipopeptide antibiotics including iturins. Iturins help Bacillus subtilis bacteria out-compete other microorganisms by either killing them or reducing their growth rate. Iturins also have direct fungicidal activity in pathogens. Bacillus subtilis products are made for many uses. For plant disease control, these include foliar application and products applied to the root zone, compost or seed. When applied directly to seeds, the bacteria colonize the developing root system, competing with disease organisms that attack root systems Bio Strain Active WP/ AS inhibits plant pathogen spore germination, disrupts germ tube growth, and interferes with the attachment of the pathogen to the plant. It is also reported to induce systemic acquired resistance (SAR) against bacterial pathogens.
