Pseudomonas fluorescens for Cardamom Disease Control & Healthy Root Growth
ಹಂಚಿ
Pseudomonas fluorescens is a beneficial bacterium that protects cardamom plants from soil-borne diseases while promoting healthy root growth. It colonizes the root zone, suppresses harmful pathogens, improves nutrient uptake, and enhances natural plant defense.
Regular application helps maintain healthy roots, reduces disease incidence, and improves capsule production.
