Pseudomonas fluorescens
A Gram-negative bacterium with antifungal &/or non-ice nucleating properties and used to improve frost hardiness (strain dependant) and protect against pathogenic soil born fungal diseases caused by Fusarium and Rhizoctonia spp. including fire blight of fruit and other crops
Mode of action	The bacteria prevents ice nucleation on plant leaves that leads to frost damage. Metabolites released by the bacteria are responsible for the antiphytopathegenic properties in some strains.
Formulations Available		WP (concentration to be disclosed on request).
Packaging		As per specifications of importing country

Trichoderma harzianum
A biological fungicide and growth promoter used to control various fungal pathogens like Soil and foliar pathogens including Pythium, Rhizoctonia, Fusarium and Botrytis spp.
Mode of action	Inhibits the growth of pathogenic fungi by competing for nutrients and invasion sites.
Formulations Available		WP, WS (concentration to be disclosed on request).
Packaging		As per specifications of importing country

Trichoderma viride
A biological fungicide used to control various fungal pathogens
Mode of action	Preventative action. Inhibits the growth of pathogenic fungi by competing for nutrients and invasion sites.
Formulations Available		WP, WS (concentration to be disclosed on request).
Packaging		As per specifications of importing country

Ampelomyces quisqualis
Biological fungicide used to control powdery mildews mainly on fruit crops.
Mode of action	Germinating spores suppress the developing mildews via hyperparasitism
Formulations Available		WP (concentration to be disclosed on request).
Packaging		As per specifications of importing country

Azadirachtin
A potent tetranortriterpenoid botanical insecticide active against a wide range of insect pests. It also has some fungicidal propertie

Formulations Available		WP (concentration to be disclosed on request).
Packaging		As per specifications of importing country

Beauveria bassiana
A naturally occuring fungal parasite used to control pests like Palm borer; Red palm weevil; Thrips; Whiteflies on target crops.
Mode of action	Contact action, spores adhere to host cuticle and germinate. Fungus populates via vegetative growth in the host haemocoel. Stomach poison. Microbial disruptor of insect midgut membranes
Formulations Available		WP (concentration to be disclosed on request).
Packaging		As per specifications of importing country

Metarhizium anisopliae
A commonly occurring deuteromycetous fungal biopesticide effective against a range of Coleoptera insects like borer, hoppers, locust etc.
Mode of action	Entomopathogen, penetrating insect cuticle and invading haemolymph.
Formulations Available		WP (concentration to be disclosed on request).
Packaging		As per specifications of importing country

Verticillium Lecanii
A product for the control of Thrips, hoppers, mooths, white flies, pod borer and fruit borer in various fruit and cereal crops
Mode of action	Verticillium Lecanii spores contained when come in contact with the target insect, attaches to the cuticle (outer skin) and then germinates and grows directly through spiracle into the inner body of the host. By taking nutrients from the insect it further proliferates and colonizes the entire insect and thus drains the nutrients of insects. The infected insects eventually die.
Formulations Available		Liquid (concentration to be disclosed on request).
