Dr. Bacto’s Bactus 4K - Bacillus Subtilis : Dr. Bacto’s Bactus 4K is an ecofriendly bio-fungicide containing bacteria Bacillus subtilis. It inhibits growth of plant fungal pathogens and helps to enhance the growth and immunity of plants.

Mode of action : Microbial bio fungicides work through different mechanisms like,

• Competition : Competition with pathogenic fungi for critical nutrients or space and, therefore, inhibiting its growth.
• Antibiosis : Producing a chemical compound of some type (antibiotic or toxin) that acts against the pathogen.
• Predation or Parasitism : Directly attacking on pathogenic fungi.
• Induction of host plant resistance : Triggers a defensive response in the host plant that limits the ability of the pathogen to invade the plant.
• Inhibiting the mycelial growth and zoospore germination of pathogenic fungi.

Benefits : It plays a major role in control of soil borne fungal diseases on crops.

Dosage :

• Soil Application – 1-1.5 Kg per hectare.
