BIO-SUDO contains the bacteria Pseudomonas uorescence. This bacterium
controls root and stem rots, damping off, blights/leaf spots, downy mildews
and powdery mildews and other fungal diseases of cotton, cereals, pulses,
vegetables, oilseeds, fruit plants and oriculture. When applied in the soil, the bacteria move towards the plant roots and
grow profusely over the root surface. It then enters the vascular streams, reach the leaves and act as a systemic biocontrol
agent against diseases. The bacteria produce antibiotics such as Pholuteorin, Pyocyanin and Phenazine, which inhibit the
growth of fungal pathogens. It also produces siderophores which chelate with iron in the soil, and make it difcult for the
pathogens to proliferate. It interferes with the germination of the fungal spores and their growth mechanism thus preventing
its establishment on the crops. Once it grows over the root surface, it acts as a shield against the invading plant pathogens.
Further, it secretes several plant growth substances, and these gibberellins - like compounds contribute to vigorous crop
growth.
