Best Use Of PANTHER-PF (Pseudomonas Fluorescence)

PANTHER:

Technical: Pseudomonas Fluorescence.

It is a biological-based pest management tool. The bacteria, Pseudomonas Fluorescence, penetrate into the vascular system of the plants and produce antibiotics which prevent germination of fungal spores, check the growth of fungi, destroy their cell wall, and finally kill them. These also prevent the activities of nematodes in the plant root. The secretion of growth regulators in the root exudes the bacteria’s impact on the balanced growth of the plants as well.

USE :

Panther-PF can be used in all field crops, vegetables, fruits, flowers, and plantation crops for control of brown spot, sheath blight, bacterial wilt, nematodes, panama wilt, sigatoga, other wilt in vegetables, root and stem rot, and a host of other diseases.

 Application :

• For soil application: Mix 1.5 kg Panther-PF with 15-20 kg organic manure and apply it to one acre of land before the last ploughing.
• For seed treatment: 10 gm Panther-PF mixed well with 1 kg of water-soaked seeds before sowing.
• For root treatment: Roots of uprooted seedlings / Plants may be kept immersed in 1% suspension of Panther-PF (10 gm. in 1 lit. water) for two hours before planting.
• For foliar spray: 5 gm. Panther-PF may be mixed as a suspension in one litre of water. This suspension may be sprayed thoroughly over the affected plants/ crops.
• PANTHER-PF is an innovative biological pest management solution harnessing the power of *Pseudomonas fluorescens*, a beneficial bacterium. This natural agent penetrates plants’ vascular systems, producing antibiotics that effectively inhibit the germination of fungal spores and curtail fungal growth.
• Additionally, it destroys the cell walls of pathogenic fungi and combats nematodes in plant roots, promoting healthier plant development. Beyond disease control, *Pseudomonas fluorescens* contributes to balanced growth through the secretion of growth regulators in the roots.
• It is versatile and can be utilised across various agricultural sectors, including field crops, vegetables, fruits, flowers, and plantation crops. It effectively manages a range of diseases, including brown spot, sheath blight, bacterial wilt, and root rot.
• Application methods are straightforward: for soil application, it’s mixed with organic manure; for seed treatment, it’s combined with water-soaked seeds; root treatment involves immersing seedlings in a suspension, and foliar sprays are made with a diluted solution of the product.
• This user-friendly approach makes PANTHER-PF a reliable choice for farmers looking to enhance crop health and mitigate the impact of pests and diseases naturally and sustainably.
