Katyayani Bacillus Subtilis is a bio fungicide in liquid form containing high concentrations of natural live Bacillus subtilis bacteria. When applied to soil, plants, or seeds, the bacteria colonize the plant root zone and help protect against a variety of fungal diseases. It is an eco-friendly alternative to chemical fungicides, being safe for humans, animals, and the environment.

• Target Diseases: Down Mildew, Powdery Mildew, Anthracnose, Leaf Blight, Seed, Soil, and Air-borne Diseases
• Target Crops: Oil Seeds, Cotton, Tomato, Pea, Beans, Millet, Pulses, Onion, Garlic, Basil, Cucurbita, Mango, Grapes, Ginger, Citrus, Cereal, Corn, Apple, Pomegranate, Peach, Plum

Mode of Action:

• Competition: Bacillus subtilis competes with pathogenic fungi for space and nutrients on plant surfaces and in the soil.
• Antibiotic Production: The bacteria produce antifungal compounds that inhibit the growth of fungal spores and hyphae.
• Induced Systemic Resistance (ISR): It triggers the plant's defense mechanisms, enhancing its resistance to fungal infections.

Dosage:

• Soil Application: Mix 1 - 2 liters of Bacillus subtilis per acre with 200 kg of FYM/compost and broadcast in the field at land preparation, sowing, and standing crops. Apply light irrigation post-application.
• Foliar Spray: Mix 5 - 10 ml of Bacillus subtilis in 1 liter of water and spray on both sides of the leaves at the first sign of disease. Repeat every 7-10 days.
• Important Recommendation: 2-3 applications at 7-10 day intervals are recommended, with more applications depending on disease incidence.

Benefits:

• Multifaceted action against a range of fungal diseases
• Produces lipopeptide antibiotics with fungicidal activity
• Comprehensive control of seed, soil, and air-borne fungal diseases
• Eco-friendly alternative to chemical fungicides
• Specifically targets Downy Mildew disease
