Bacillus subtilis strain IBE 711

Bacillus subtilis strain IBE 711 is a highly effective biological fungicide whose action is based on the antagonistic activity of living bacteria against phytopathogens.

The defense mechanism involves competition for nutrients and space, which suppresses the development of pathogenic microflora on leaf surfaces and in the root zone.

A crucial feature of the IBE 711 strain is the synthesis of natural antibiotic compounds capable of destroying the cell walls of pathogenic fungi and bacteria, thereby preventing their growth.

The preparation stimulates the plant's own immune system by activating defensive mechanisms, which increases resistance to environmental stressors.

Unlike chemical pesticides, this biological agent works systemically by creating a protective biofilm around the plant, which prevents colonization by disease-causing pathogens.

The agent is effectively used against a wide spectrum of fungal and bacterial diseases in agricultural crops, including vegetable, cereal, and fruit-bearing plants.

The main targets for the preparation are pathogens causing powdery mildew, root rots, fusarium, various types of leaf spots, and bacterial wilts.

The preparation shows high efficacy in seed treatment, preventing the emergence of pathogens during the early stages of seed germination and seedling development.

Using the IBE 711 strain during the growing season helps to reduce the infectious pressure in fields by limiting the spread of fungal spores in the environment.

The biological efficacy of the preparation has been confirmed against pathogens resistant to traditional chemical fungicides, making it indispensable in anti-resistance programs.

Application rates for the preparation vary depending on the method of use: one concentration is used for seed treatment, and a different one is used for spraying growing plants.

Seed treatment is carried out in advance or immediately before sowing by uniformly applying the working solution to the seed surface to create a protective barrier.

When spraying plants, it is essential to ensure maximum coverage of the leaf surface, which is achieved through the use of high-quality equipment and sufficient volumes of the working solution.

The timing of applications is determined by the phytosanitary condition of the crops, though preventive application before the appearance of visible symptoms is most preferred.

Repeat application of the preparation at defined intervals is recommended to maintain a sufficient concentration of the active agent on plant surfaces throughout critical growth stages.

The efficacy of Bacillus subtilis strain IBE 711 depends directly on environmental conditions, such as air humidity and temperature, which are critical for bacterial viability.

Mixing the biological preparation in a tank with strong chemical fungicides or bactericides that may inhibit the activity of the living component is strictly discouraged.

When preparing the working solution, it is necessary to ensure water quality by avoiding high levels of chlorine or other impurities that suppress the growth of the IBE 711 strain.

The product should be stored in its original packaging in a place protected from direct sunlight to maintain spore viability until the moment of use.

Although the agent is environmentally safe, standard personal hygiene measures must be observed during handling to avoid direct contact of the concentrated product with mucous membranes.
