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 secrets 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 directly attach to the cell walls of harmful fungi and produce enzymes to dismantle them. Additionally, it secretes a variety of antibiotics, including phospholipids, aminoglycans, peptides, and lipopeptides, to hinder the growth of fungal mycelium.
• Improvement of root environment: Bacillus velezensis and Pseudomonas chlororaphis can form biofilm around the root system. This biopesticide encourages the growth of beneficial bacteria around the root system, fostering a healthy root microbiome. It also releases plant growth-promoting hormones like indole-3-acetic acid (IAA) and jasmonic acid, stimulating root development and maintaining the overall well-being of the root system and its surrounding environment.

Dosage & Method

• Seedbed nursing: Apply 3-5 gram per liter for spray when 2-3 true leaves.
• Soil Treatment: To achieve the best results, apply 3 kilograms per acre early in the crop’s development using soil drench or drip irrigation. 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

• Always test and confirm the compatibility before mixing this bactericide for plants with other substances in the spray tank.
• Test a small mix of the fungicide bactericide powder with other substances before using it. This helps protect plants from diseases by keeping the antifungal powder effective.
