Tag Monas contains Pseudmonas fluorescens, an antagonistic bacteria, effective against a wide range of foliar, seed and soil borne plant diseases. Pseudomonas fluorescens is antagonistic to foliar or rhizosphere bacteria and fungi through the production of siderophores and antibiotics. The bacterium produces antibiotics, which inhibit the growth of pathogens. Siderophores chelate the iron in the soil and make it difficult for the pathogen to proliferate. It interferes with germination of the fungal spores and their growth mechanisms, thus preventing establishment of the pathogen on the crops. Grows abundantly on host surface and acts as a shield, thus preventing penetration of nematodes inside plants. Tag Monas can be applied in wetland agro ecosystem like rice crop. Tag Monas is a broad spectrum fungicide, bactericide and nematicide and also a plant growth promoter. Tag Monas has a very high spore count (minimum 100 million cfu / gm of product).
