Product Description

Psedodomonas fluorescens (2 x 10⁸ cfu/g min.) is a rhizosphere bacteria which

protects plant roots against parasitic fungi such as Fusarium or Pythium as well

as certain phytophagaous nematodes such as Meloidogynesps.

Fungi such as alternariacajani and curvularialunata grow on plant surfaces causing

disease and death of plants. Plant treatment with Pseudomonas fluorescens can

limit these fungi from growing and prospering.

It is non-specific in its ability to protect plants and, once established, it works against

several different pathogens while inducing systemic resistance in the host plant.

Production of secondary metabolites plays an important role in plant disease

suppression  and PF produces substances like 2,4-diacetylphloroglucinol, which

is responsible for the anti-phytopathegenic and the biocontrol properties of PF.

PF aggressively colonises the roots of the crop and suppresses disease by inhibiting

phytopathogens in the soil or on the roots by competition and/or antagonism.

It has shown potential benefits in bio-remediation against several strains of plant pathogens.
