A biological fungicide for the suppression of powdery and downy mildew.
A preventative biofungicide for the suppression of fungal plant diseases on crops as specified.
A biological fungicide for the suppression of powdery and downy mildew on table grapes and powdery mildew on cucurbits. Ideal in IPM, zero-residue and resistance management programs.
Application Instructions
- Double Nickel 55® is compatible with most fertilizers, adjuvants and pesticides but if uncertain check with your Madumbi Technical Advisor before making tank mixes.
- Do NOT tank mix with copper based pesticides.
- Avoid the use of silicone spreaders (spreader-stickers and oil-based products are preferred).
- Avoid extreme pH (between 6–8 is optimal).
Features
- Broad spectrum biofungicide containing the active ingredient Bacillus amyloliquifaciens isolate D747 supplied by Certis USA.
- Bacteria based active ingredient.
- Multiple modes of action.
- OMRI listed.
- No Maximum residue limit (MRL).
- Stable formulation with 2 year shelf life at room temperature.
Benefits
- Well researched product of high quality delivering consistent results.
- Ideal resistance management option for IPM programs.
- Good efficiency and low risk of resistance build-up.
- Ideal resistance management option in IPM program with conventional chemicals.
- Suitable for use in organic production.
- Helps growers meet demands of export markets in terms of minimal/zero residue pest management programs.
- Limited risk of expiring stock and more consistent results.
- Production of antimicrobial metabolites: Double Nickel 55® is capable of producing a number of antimicrobial metabolites such as Iturin and Surfactin which inhibit growth of fungi and bacteria.
- Competition for space and nutrients: Double Nickel 55® colonizes plant surfaces, occupying space and using up nutrient sources at potential infection sites thus making it difficult for pathogens to get established.
- Systemic Acquired Resistance (SAR): Double Nickel 55® can help activate a plants natural defence mechanisms through SAR. SAR is a state of enhanced immunity to infection demonstrated by plants following an injury or presence of inducer organisms like B. amyloliquefaciens (B.a.).
