    Product Description

    Description

     

    Mode of action – uptake of nutrients
    • Colonizing the root system of the host plant
    • Producing secondary metabolites namely siderophores, which can suppress the growth of parasitic pathogen by restricting their on availability to the pathogen.
    • Its ability to compete for nutrients and space with other microorganisms is another important characteristic of Pseudomonas, which makes it a good alternative bio- control agent.
    • It has ability to produce plant growth promoting substances, which promote the plant growth and improved nutrient uptake.
    • Enhanced stress resistance in plants and helps increase the quality and quantity of yield.
    Methord of Application
    Seed treatment

    10g or 5ml per Kg of seeds and soak the seeds in water over night, decant the excess water and allow to sprout the seeds for 24 hrs and then sow.
