IPL Mildown is an eco-friendly bio-fungicide formulated with Bacillus subtilis (2.0% A.S), offering natural and sustainable protection against seed, soil, and airborne fungal diseases. Its high spore count allows it to colonize the rhizosphere (root zone) and phyllosphere (leaf surface), creating a protective barrier against fungal and bacterial pathogens. The multifaceted action of lipopeptide antibiotics, such as Iturin, ensures long-lasting disease control, reducing dependency on chemical fungicides while improving plant health and resilience.
