Micro Army PF — encapsulated Pseudomonas fluorescens
Pseudomonasfluorescens
Microbial biopesticides are natural products made from microorganisms like bacteria, fungi, or viruses that control pests and diseases in crops. These biopesticides target specific pests while being safe for humans, animals, and beneficial insects. They offer an eco-friendly, sustainable solution to pest management in agriculture.
The science
Mode of action
How Pseudomonas fluorescens works inside the plant and the soil.
Siderophore iron chelation
Pseudomonas fluorescens produces high-affinity siderophores that chelate iron, depriving pathogenic microorganisms of essential nutrients required for growth.
Antibiotic compound production
Secretes antibiotic compounds such as phenazines and pyoluteorin that inhibit pathogen respiration and disrupt critical metabolic pathways.
Rapid root surface colonization
Rapidly colonizes root surfaces and infection sites, effectively preventing pathogen establishment and subsequent disease development.
Systemic resistance activation
Activates salicylic acid�mediated defense signaling pathways, enhancing systemic resistance and strengthening plant immune responses.
Protective biofilm formation
Forms stable biofilms on root surfaces that physically restrict pathogen penetration, survival, and proliferation in the rhizosphere.

Key benefits
5 reasons growers choose Pseudomonas fluorescens.
- 01
Strong disease suppression
Provides effective suppression of major soil-borne fungal pathogens affecting a wide range of agricultural crops.
- 02
Reduced infection initiation
Prevents early-stage pathogen establishment, significantly reducing the likelihood of disease initiation in treated crops.
- 03
Enhanced plant defense capability
Improves internal plant defense mechanisms, increasing resistance against subsequent pathogen invasion and disease spread.
- 04
Residue-free disease management
Ensures disease control without leaving chemical residues, supporting export, organic, and residue-sensitive crop production systems.
- 05
Eco-compatible application
Offers an environmentally safe, sustainable, and eco-compatible biological solution for integrated disease management programs.
