BIOCURE B by T. Stanes and Company

BIOCURE-B by T. Stanes and Company : Pseudomonas fluorescens Biofungicide & Bactericide

Managing foliar and seed-borne diseases is crucial for achieving optimal yields in staple crops. BIOCURE-B is an eco-friendly biological control agent that harnesses the power of the antagonistic bacterium Pseudomonas fluorescens to protect plants from key pathogenic threats. This product offers a sustainable approach to disease management while concurrently promoting plant health.

Developed by T. Stanes and Company, BIOCURE-B is a CIB&RC-approved formulation featuring a unique, high-potential bacterial strain (T STANES Pf-1). It is available in both Wettable Powder (1.75% WP) and Liquid (1.50% LF) forms to integrate seamlessly into various agricultural practices.

Key Features and Performance Benefits

• Active Ingredient: Contains a potent strain of Pseudomonas fluorescens, a beneficial bacterium known for its effective disease-suppressing capabilities.

• Multiple Modes of Action: Controls pathogens through several mechanisms: competition for nutrients on the leaf surface, production of pathogen-inhibiting secondary metabolites (antibiosis), and secretion of siderophores that sequester iron, making it unavailable to harmful microbes.

• Plant Growth Promotion: The secondary metabolites produced by the bacterium also contribute to growth augmentation and enhanced nutrient uptake in the host plant.

• Targeted Disease Control: Specifically formulated and proven effective against major diseases in important crops:

  • Rice: Leaf or Neck Blast (LF formulation)

  • Wheat: Loose Smut (WP formulation)

  • Tomato: Early Blight (WP formulation)

• Organic Certification: As an organically certified product, BIOCURE-B is an excellent fit for organic agriculture and Integrated Pest Management (IPM) programs.

Application and Suitability

BIOCURE-B offers exceptional versatility in application, allowing for use as a seed or seedling treatment, in sucker bulb dips, through drip irrigation, or as a direct soil application. This flexibility ensures that the beneficial bacteria can be delivered effectively to protect the plant at various growth stages.

Recommended Dosage:

• Liquid (LF) Formulation (Rice): 6.0 liters per hectare

• Powder (WP) Formulation:

  • Wheat (Seed Treatment): 5 grams per kg of seeds

  • Tomato: 3.0 kg per hectare

A Dual-Action Solution for Crop Health

BIOCURE-B provides a reliable, dual-action solution that not only manages critical diseases but also enhances overall plant vitality. By leveraging the natural abilities of Pseudomonas fluorescens, it supports resilient crop production and contributes to a more sustainable agricultural ecosystem.
