SUBTILEX

SUBTILEX - Biological Fungicide

A liquid biological fungicide based on Bacillus subtilis that safeguards seed and soil and protects crops from airborne diseases.

  • Colonises roots and leaves ahead of pathogens
  • Controls downy mildew through root colonisation
  • Produces iturin, which destroys fungal pathogens
  • Activates the plant’s own defence system
  • A substitute for chemical fungicide sprays

Product Overview

SUBTILEX is an environmentally friendly liquid formulation of Bacillus subtilis, with 1 × 108 CFU of beneficial bacteria in every millilitre. It safeguards seed and soil, protects them from airborne diseases and helps crops stand up to a range of fungal diseases.

How It Works

The bacteria in SUBTILEX colonise the zone around the plant roots and the leaf surface. There they stop spores from germinating, block germ-tube growth and keep disease-causing pathogens from attaching to the plant. They also produce iturin, an antibiotic that destroys fungal pathogens, and switch on the plant’s own defence system.

“Safeguard seed and soil and protect it from airborne diseases.”
