BACTINASH – 200 is a broad spectrum antibacterial agent containing 2 bromo 2 nitro - propane-1, 3-dial - 95% w/w, as an active ingredient. It is a synthetic organic chemical bactericide dissolves very well in water. Bactinash-200, unlike other antibacterial agents, is markedly inhibitory to different pathogenic strains of pseudomonas. It has a wide range of applications in agriculture as a powerful bactericide, both against gram positive and gram negative organisms.

BACTINASH-200 is offered in liquid and microfined crystal form, colored with certified food grade lemon yellow to orange to confer a distinct identity for agricultural use. It is stable material which can be kept almost indefinitely under appropriate storage conditions.

BACTINASH-200 is recommended for seed dressing on cotton, also as a foliar spray and drenching not only cotton but also on citrus, apple, pears, pomegranate, mango, banana, betelvine, tomato, brinjal, cabbage, potato, chill, paddy, tobacco etc., to control black arm (cotton), angular leaf spot (tobacco), bacterial spot (pomegranate, citrus, mango, tomato, chills, betelvine), bacterial wilt (tomato, brinjal, banana), bacterial blight (paddy, pomegranate), black rot ( cabbage), stem and fruit canker (tomato, citrus), brown rot (potato), fore blight (apple) and other bacterial diseases of flower and ornamental plants.

DOSAGE

For foliar spray and drenching: Dissolve 20g or 100ml (depends on stage of the crop and degree of infestation), of Bactinash-200 in 40-50 liter of water and spray on both the surface of leaves. Use 0.5 ml per liter of Maxiwet (wetting agent) for effective spray.

PACKING SIZE

It is available in 20g and 50g pouches and 100 ml bottles.

ADVANTAGES


	BACTINASH-200 does not leave any residue, the residual products formaldehyde and traces of bromine evaporate immediately on decomposition.

	BACTINASH-200 is a contact bactericide, acts immediately and hence prolonged exposure to the same is not essential.

	BACTINASH-200 dissolves very well in water.

	BACTINASH-200 is compatible with conventional pesticides and fungicides.

PRECAUTIONS

Avoid contact with eyes and skin. In case of contact wash with copious cold water. Keep away from children and pets. Not for human consumption.

NOTE: Since fungal diseases are normally a predisposing factor to bacterial attack adequate antifungal control is recommended as per standard recommendations.

RESEARCH FINDINGS

A spray solution prepared with 0.1% Bactinish-200 sprayed on citrus plants twice at an interval of 15 days before the onset of monsoon, twice during the break in monsoon and during post-monsoon was found to completely eliminate canker and farmers were able to get spotless citrus fruits bigger in size.

COMMON SYMPTOMS OF IMPORTANT DISEASES

PADDY BACTERIAL BLIGHT: It commonly occurs within 3-4 weeks after transplanting the crop. Symptoms are death of whole plant or wilting of only a few leaves. Yellowing of leaves, dull greenish water-soaked or yellowish spots on the leaf towards the tip or margins, leading to tip marginal drying. The loss in grain yield due to this disease may range up to 60%

BACTERIAL CANKER OF CITRUS: It is severe on acid lime. The pathogen affects all plant parts above ground level, i.e. the leaves, twigs and fruits. The canker lesions on the fruits may also vary in size. Due to severe infections of the leaves there may be defoliation and severe infections of the twigs and stem may cause die-back symptoms. The plants are also stunted and fruit yields are reduced considerably.

BACTERIAL LEAF SPOT OF POMERGRANTE: The disease is characterized by appearance on the leaves of one to several minute, dark colored, irregular spots. In severe infections the leaves may drop off prematurely. Often the bacteria infect the fruits to cause dark brown, irregular, slightly raised spots with an oily appearance.

BLACK ARM OF COTTON: water soaked circular lesions on seedlings cotyledons, withering of the cotyledons. Several affected seedlings wither and wilt. On the stem and fruiting branches dark brown to back, linear, sunken lesions are formed , which may girdle the stem and branches to cause premature dropping off the leaves, resulting in the characteristic black arm or dry black twigs standing in the place of healthy plants.

POTATO BROWN ROT: Drawing of shoots accompanied by bronze discoloration of the leaves, followed soon by plant wilt. If the stem wilt is split open and examined the vascular bundles will be seen discolored black. If the tubers in the affected plants are examined, the eye- bud can seen dark brown colored and when cut open and examined, cream-like exudation may be seen coming from the cut surface of the tuber. The tubers may also rot in the soil, which is often associated with the attack of secondary soft rot bacteria.
