Omega - Biological Fungicide

Composition and Active Ingredient

  • Beneficial Microorganisms:

    • Bacillus subtilis strains (selected for high disease resistance).

    • Bacillus spp. strains.

    • Pichia spp. yeast strains.

  • Colony Count: 3 × 10 to 3 × 10 CFU/g (colony-forming units per gram).

Characteristics and Benefits of the Compound

  • Biofungicide for controlling soil-borne diseases and root rot caused by fungi (Pythium, Rhizoctonia, Sclerotium, Phytophthora).

  • Protects seeds from rot, improving germination rates.

  • Prevents seedling damping-off and root rot.

  • Long-lasting protection from application to harvest due to microbial proliferation.

  • Secretes natural growth hormones (e.g., auxins) to promote robust root systems.

  • Produces antibiotics and toxins that kill pathogenic fungi.

  • Non-toxic to humans, animals, and the environment; leaves no residues in plants.

Usage Rate

  1. Seed Treatment:

    • Soak seeds in a 50–100 g/liter water suspension before planting.

  2. Seedling Mix Preparation:

    • Add 50–250 g dissolved in 100 liters of water to 25 peatmoss blocks + 3 vermiculite bags in nursery trays.

  3. Seedling Irrigation:

    • Apply 50–100 g/liter water suspension to nursery trays before transplanting.

  4. Field Application:

    • Manual: Apply 1–3 kg/acre to planting holes (under drip lines).

    • Irrigation Systems: Apply via drip or pivot systems at 1–3 kg/acre (adjust based on infestation severity).

Important Notes

  • Storage: Keep in a cool, shaded, well-ventilated area. Avoid direct sunlight.

  • Preparation:

    • Mix with a 1–5% sugar solution and ferment for 6–24 hours before use.

    • Stir the suspension thoroughly during preparation.

  • Compatibility: Do not mix with chemical pesticides, fertilizers, or additives during application.
