BACTVIPE (PSEUDOMONAS FLUORESCENS) BIO FUNGICIDE

Effective Control of Seed, Soil & Air Borne Diseases

Technical Information

Mode of Action

Pseudomonas Fluorescens is highly effective in suppressing soil and foliar-borne diseases caused by pathogens. It colonizes the rhizosphere and plant system, acting as a systemic biocontrol agent.

It promotes plant growth by aiding nutrient uptake and producing growth-promoting substances. The bacterium releases iron-chelating siderophores, antibiotics, hydrogen cyanide, and lytic enzymes (such as cellulase, chitinase, and protease), which actively reduce fungal and bacterial pathogens and induce plant resistance.
