Bactonus

Target Disease

• Granville Wilt Control (Pseudomonas solanacearum)
• Bacterial Soft Rot Control (Erwinia spp.or Pseudomonas spp. )
• Bacteria Wilt Control (Ralstonia solanacearum)
• Root Rot Control (Phytophthora, Pythium and Fusarium)
• Sheath Blight Control (Rhizoctonia solani)
• Crown Gall Control (Agrobacterium tumefaciens)

Mode of Action

• Prevention of bacterial diseases: It produces bacteriolytic substances and secreting antibacterial components including ribosomal peptides and volatile substances. Pseudomonas chlororaphis produces phenazine antibiotics, pseudomonas aeruginosa, and other components that together inhibit and biological control pathogenic bacterial disease.
• Prevention of fungal diseases: Bacillus safensis can adsorb on the mycelium of pathogenic fungi and produce chitinase to break down the fungal mycelium, and secrete antibiotics such as phospholipids, aminoglycans, peptides and lipopeptides to inhibit the growth of fungal mycelium.
• Improvement of root environment: Bacillus velezensis and Pseudomonas chlororaphis can form biofilm around the root system. The bactericide facilitates the colonization of beneficial bacteria around the root system and improves the micro-ecological environment of the root system, while secreting IAA (indole acetic acid), jasmonic acid and other substances to promote the growth of the root system and maintain the health of the root system and the surrounding environment.

Benefit

• Effective anti-bacterial and anti-fungal activity
• Bolsters root and shoot growth
• Enhances overall plant health and vigor
• Improves yield potential
• Increases plant resistance
• Flexible application timings
• No resistance & no waiting period

Dosage & Method

• Seedbed nursing: Apply 3-5 gram per liter for spray when 2-3 true leaves.
• Soil Treatment: Apply 3 kg per acre by soil drench or drip irrigation, as early as possible to the crop for optimal effect. Reapply at 30 days interval
• Foliar Spray: Apply 3 kg per acre with sufficient water for foliar spray when flowering early stage, reapply at 20 days interval.

Tank Mixing

• DO NOT combine this plant antifungal powder in the spray tank with pesticides, surfactants, copper-based products or fertilizers unless prior experience has shown the combination to be compatible. Any tank combination must also be tested for disease resistance effectiveness and plant selectivity prior to use in commercial application.
• One way to do this is by testing any canned mixture in a small measurement volume first to determine physical compatibility at the desired dilution rate. By taking these steps, bactericide can help to keep plants healthy and protect them from diseases like bacterial wilt and browning disease.
