About Panther-PF
It is a biological-based pest management tool. The bacteria, Pseudomonas fluorescens, penetrate the vascular system of the plants and produce antibiotics which prevent germination of fungal spores, check the growth of fungi, destroy their cell wall, and finally kill them.
These also prevent the activities of nematodes in the plant root. The secretion of growth regulators in the root exerts the bacteria’s impact on the balanced growth of the plants as well.
Technical:
Pseudomonas Fluorescence.
