Green Sheath Guard (Pseudomonas fluorescens) - 120 mL - 120 mL - 1 bottle

Green Sheath Guard is a biological fungicide, bio nematicide and a plant growth promoting rhizosphere bacteria (PGPR) based on a selected strain of naturally occurring benificial bacteria Pseudomonas fluorescens. TARGET DISEASES: Sheath blight of rice, sheath blight of banana and diseases caused by various pathogenic fungal species. Root knot nematode, cyst nematode and citrus nematode.

MODE OF ACTION: >Metabolite production: Green Sheath Guard produces metabolites and enzymes which outcompete many pathogenic bacteria and suppress pathogens in the rhizosphere and plant system. > Substrate Competition for Nutrients: Green Sheath Guard colonizes and absorbs maximum nutrients available at the target site and thereby controls the pathogens by starving them for food. METHOD OF APPLICATION: SEED TREATMENT: Mix 10 g/10 ml of Green Sheath Guard with 10 g of crude sugar to make a slurry to treat 1 kg of seed. Coat the seed with this slurry so as to have a uniform coating all over the seeds. Dry the seeds in shade for 30 minutes and sow the treated seeds within 24 hours.
