About Product Multiplex Sparsha is a bio-bactericide designed for soil application to control soil-borne pathogens and plant parasitic nematodes. It contains Pseudomonas fluorescens, a plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR), which enhances plant growth and yield while triggering natural immunity in plants. Multiplex Sparsha Composition and Technical Details Technical Name: Pseudomonas fluorescens 1.0% WP (Min. 1x108 CFU /ml for Liquid Based & min. 1 x 108 CFU /gm for Carrier Based) Mode of Entry: Contact Mode of Action: The mechanism of suppression is done by competition of nutrients or chemical antibiosis where the total ecosystem gets modified in favor of beneficial microbes by producing certain secondary metabolites and resulting into depletion of pathogenic fungal and bacterial population. Key Features & Benefits Multiplex Sparsha controls soil-borne pathogens causing bacterial and fungal wilts and suppresses plant-parasitic nematodes, specifically root-knot nematodes infecting tomatoes and okra. It also triggers the natural immunity in plants, helping them to better resist diseases. Pseudomonas fluorescens also helps to enhance the availability of chelated iron in the rhizosphere which builds up plant innate immunity to fight against pathogens, known as ISR (Induced systemic resistance).
