Pochonia chlamydosporia powder 25 Kg Drum

Product Name:

Pochonia chlamydosporia Nematode & Disease Bio-Suppressant

Cfu Cells/Gram:

Minimum 2 x 10^8 (200 Million) viable chlamydospores per gram | Formulated for soil persistence and root colonization.

Base:

Available in specialized formulations for soil ecosystem integration:

• Wettable Powder (WP): For soil drench, drip irrigation, and seed treatment.

• Water Soluble Powder (WS): For fertigation, soil drench, and foliar spray.

Benefits:

• Dual-Action Bio-Control: Parasitizes eggs of major plant-parasitic nematodes (Root-Knot, Meloidogyne spp.; Cyst, Heterodera/Globodera spp.) and also suppresses fungal pathogens like Fusarium and Verticillium.

• Specialized Egg Parasite: Produces unique appressoria that penetrate nematode eggshells, destroying juveniles before they hatch.

• Long-Lasting Soil Colonizer: Forms resilient chlamydospores that persist in soil, providing season-long protection and building population over successive applications.

• Promotes Root Health: Colonizes the root rhizosphere, enhancing the soil microbiome and improving plant vigor.

• Safe & Sustainable: Non-toxic, residue-free, and compatible with organic farming and IPM/IDM programs.

Suggested For Crops:

Ideal for intensive, high-value, and nematode-prone cropping systems:

• Vegetables: Tomato, Carrot, Potato, Cucumber, Lettuce

• Fruits: Banana, Strawberry, Grapevines, Citrus

• Field Crops: Soybean, Cotton, Sugar beet

• Protected Cultivation: Greenhouses, polyhouses, and nursery beds

• Problem Soils: Fields with a history of nematode and soil-borne fungal disease complexes.

Application Dosage & Method:

• Soil Drench: Mix 1.5 - 2.0 kg of WP powder per acre in 800-1000 liters of water. Apply as a drench to the root zone at transplanting or during early growth stages.

• Drip Irrigation/Chemigation: Apply 1.0 - 1.5 kg of WP powder per acre through the drip system for targeted delivery.

• Seed Treatment: Mix 8 - 12 grams of WP powder per kg of seeds using an organic binder.

Soil Application Dosage:

• Broadcast & Incorporation: Apply 3.0 - 4.0 kg of WP powder per acre, mixed with 250-300 kg of compost or vermicompost, and incorporate into the top 10-15 cm of soil 7-10 days before planting.

• Granular Application: Apply 4.0 - 5.0 kg of Granular (G) formulation per acre directly in planting rows or pits.

• Nursery Bed Treatment: Mix 75 - 150 grams of WP powder per square meter of nursery bed soil.

Note:

• Pre-Planting Application is Critical: Most effective when applied 1-2 weeks before planting to establish in the rhizosphere before nematode eggs hatch.

• Soil Requirements: Thrives in moist, well-aerated soils rich in organic matter. Optimal soil temperature is 22-28°C. Maintain soil moisture after application.

• Compatibility: Compatible with organic amendments (neem cake, mustard cake) and most bio-fertilizers. Do not mix with chemical nematicides or fungicides.

• Storage: Store in a cool, dry, dark place. Refrigeration (4-8°C) is strongly recommended to maintain chlamydospore viability beyond 12 months.

• Best Results: For integrated nematode management, combine with solarization or biofumigation before application. Apply 2-3 times per season for perennial crops or in heavily infested soils.
