Pseudomonas fluorescens Liquid vs Powder – Which One to Buy for Your Kollam Farm?

Many Kollam farmers ask us: should I buy liquid or powder Pseudomonas fluorescens? Here is a simple guide.

Liquid Pseudomonas fluorescens:

  • Best for soil drenching, foliar sprays, and drip irrigation – easy to measure and mix

  • Contains 1×10⁸ to 1×10⁹ CFU/ml of live bacterial cells

  • Shelf life: 12‑18 months – store at room temperature away from direct sunlight

  • Price: ₹200‑450 per litre at Bactostore

  • One litre, diluted in 200‑400 litres of water, covers 1‑2 acres for drenching or spraying

  • Liquid formulations generally have better shelf life than powder forms

Powder (talc‑based) Pseudomonas fluorescens:

  • Best for mixing with FYM for soil application – the most effective method for coconut, banana, and pepper basins

  • Contains >2×10⁹ CFU/g – higher concentration than liquid

  • Shelf life: 8‑12 months – store in a cool, dry place

  • Price: ₹200‑450 per kg at Bactostore

  • One kg mixed with 100‑200 kg FYM covers 1‑2 acres for soil application

  • Powder is also ideal for seed treatment (coating seeds) and root dip
