Buy Pseudomonas fluorescens for Vegetables and Paddy – Control Damping‑Off, Wilt, Leaf Spots & Sheath Blight
ಹಂಚಿ
Kozhikode’s vegetable and paddy farmers face constant disease pressure. In vegetables, damping‑off kills seedlings overnight; Fusarium wilt and Phytophthora wilt cause sudden collapse of mature plants; leaf spots reduce marketable yield. In paddy, sheath blight (Rhizoctonia solani) causes brown lesions on leaf sheaths, reducing yield by 20‑50%. Chemical fungicides are expensive, and repeated use leads to resistance.
Pseudomonas fluorescens is your organic shield.
What KAU recommends:
-
The Kerala Agricultural University (KAU) Agri Infotech Portal recommends: “Application of bio‑control agent Pseudomonas florescence (20 g/litre of water/kg of seed) are found to be effective for the control of damping‑off to considerable extent.”
-
KAU also recommends seed treatment with Pseudomonas fluorescens (20 g/litre of water for 1 kg of seed) and foliar spray for various crop diseases.
What the research says for vegetables:
-
Research on chilli found that a combination of Trichoderma harzianum and P. fluorescens was most effective in reducing disease incidence, being 66.7% more efficient than the control.
-
P. fluorescens was found to have no adverse effect on beneficial rhizospheric microbes like Arbuscular Mycorrhizae.
What the research says for paddy:
-
Research shows that Pseudomonas fluorescens strains induce systemic resistance against Rhizoctonia solani (sheath blight pathogen) in rice, as a result of an increase in chitinase and other defence enzyme activity.
-
Synergistic effects of Pseudomonas with Trichoderma have been reported for sheath blight management in rice.
How to apply Pseudomonas for vegetables:
Seed treatment (before sowing):
-
Mix 5‑10g of Bactostore’s Pseudomonas powder (or 5‑10 ml liquid) with enough water to coat 1 kg of seeds
-
Shade dry for 30 minutes, then sow
Nursery bed drench (to prevent damping‑off):
-
Mix 5g of powder (or 5 ml liquid) in 1 litre of water
-
Drench the nursery bed soil before sowing
Root dip for seedlings (before transplanting):
-
Mix 10g of powder (or 10 ml liquid) in 1 litre of water
-
Dip seedling roots for 10 minutes before transplanting
Foliar spray for established plants:
-
For liquid: Mix 2‑5 ml in 1 litre of water
-
For powder: Mix 5‑10g in 1 litre of water
-
Spray on both sides of leaves
-
Apply every 10‑15 days during active disease pressure
How to apply Pseudomonas for paddy:
Seed treatment (most effective):
-
Take 100g of Bactostore’s Pseudomonas powder (or 100 ml liquid)
-
Mix with enough water to coat 10 kg of paddy seeds
-
Stir evenly, shade dry for 30 minutes, then sow
Soil application (for fields with history of sheath blight):
-
Mix 1‑2 kg of Pseudomonas powder with 100‑200 kg FYM per acre
-
Broadcast during the last ploughing and incorporate into soil
