📌 Component Effects on Plants:

1. Verticillium Lecanii (250 gm, 1×10⁸ CFU/Gram)

• Verticillium Lecanii is an entomopathogenic fungus which occur naturally and invade the soft bodied pest insects such as aphids, whiteflies, thrips by germinating the fungal spores on contact that lead to create penetrated holes in the cuticle of the pest results in death caused by toxins extraction and nutrient depletion. It is a biodegradable bio-pesticide that can be potent and strong enough to replace chemical insecticides in providing killing pest risks without harming other harmless creatures.

• A fungal biopesticide that controls aphids, whiteflies, and thrips by infecting and eliminating them naturally.

2. Pseudomonas Fluorescens (250 gm, 1×10⁸ CFU/Gram)

• Pseudo is high-performance bio-fungicide and plant growth-promoting bacterium (PGPB) which confers wide-spectrum protection to crops against diseases caused by bacterial and fungal agents. It includes Pseudomonas fluorescens, a beneficial bacterium that occurs naturally. It occupies the root zone, suppresses plant pathogens and enhances the overall health of the plants. This bio-agent of microbes is well known for producing secondary metabolites such as antibiotics, siderophores, and enzymes capable of inhibiting the growth of plant disease-causing organisms. It also enhances the availability of nutrients, such as phosphorus and nitrogen, to facilitate healthy growth in plants. Aastha Pseudo is an Eco-friendly, Non-Chemical Fungicide used for the control of plant diseases while preserving soil health and diversified microbial flora. It is used in various vegetables, fruits, cereals, pulses, oilseeds, spices, and commercial crops.

• A beneficial bacterium that suppresses fungal and bacterial diseases, promotes root growth, and enhances plant immunity.

3. Trichoderma Viride (250 gm, 2×10⁶ CFU/Gram)

• Trichoderma Viride is a beneficial fungus used as a biofungicide to protect plants from soil-borne fungal diseases like root rot, damping-off, and wilt. It works by outcompeting harmful pathogens, producing antifungal compounds, and boosting plant immunity. It also promotes root growth and nutrient uptake. Ideal for seed treatment, soil application, and foliar spray in organic and conventional farming.

• A fungal antagonist that prevents root rot, damping-off, and wilt diseases, while improving soil health and root development.

4. Beauveria Bassiana (250 gm, 1×10⁸ CFU/Gram)

• Beauveria Bassiana is a beneficial entomopathogenic fungus used as a biological insecticide. It infects and controls a wide range of pests, including aphids, whiteflies, thrips, and beetles, by penetrating their exoskeleton and causing disease. This eco-friendly pest control reduces chemical pesticide use, promotes sustainable farming, and helps protect beneficial insects. Ideal for use in organic and conventional agriculture through foliar spray or soil application.

• An insect-pathogenic fungus that controls caterpillars, beetles, and leafhoppers, reducing pest populations effectively.

5. Gibberellic Acid (250 gm, 0.186% SP)

• Gibberellic Acid (GA3) 0.001% L is a very potent plant growth regulator that enhances crop growth and productivity by a lot. It induces various physiological and biochemical changes in plants, such as rapid seed germination, enhanced flowering, fruit enlargement, and overall plant vigor. Gibberellic Acid is employed in agriculture and horticulture to break inactivity in seeds, promote the elongation of cells, and ensure uniform growth of plants. It stimulates hydrolytic enzyme production, thus breaking down reserved nutrients in the seeds, promoting germination much faster. Avtar GA3 helps in further increasing the fruit size, minimizing the shedding of flowers as well as fruits, delay in the aging of leaves and fruits, and tolerance to environmental stressors such as chilling, droughtiness, and saltiness.Highly effective water-soluble liquid formulation for major cereals and pulses, horticultural, fruit, and vegetables, and plantation crops to ensure improved yield and good quality produce.

• A plant growth stimulant that enhances seed germination, flowering, and overall plant vigor for higher yields.

📌 Mode of Action:

• Microbes in the pack that are disease-suppressing infect on plant roots and fight disease-producing fungi.

• Enzymatic activity decomposes the cell wall of fungi, which helps to avoid infection.

• Entomopathogenic fungi (Baevaria Bassiana and Verticillium Lecanii) kill and infect the insects, such as sucking and fruit-boring insects.

• Enhanced plant immunity, encouraging healthy plant growth with increased resistance.

📌 Key Benefits:

• Disease & Pest Protection – Naturally resists fungal disease and insect infestation.

• Cost-Effective – Saves money for farmers via reduced chemical pesticide consumption.

• Enhances Soil Fertility – Increases microbial diversity for greater soil health.

• Eco-Friendly & Residue-Free – Non-toxic to animals, human beings, and the ecosystem.

• Stimulates Crop Growth – Enhances root and shoot growth for higher yield.

📌 How to Use:

• Timing: Spray after 20 days of transplanting and follow-up 3-4 times at 20-40-60 day intervals.

Preparation:

• Employ the whole kit with 25-50 kg decomposed cow dung or Brahmastra Organic Manure.

Application: Scatter uniformly over an area of one acre of land.
