The compatibility of Pseudomonas fluorescens with 15 fungicides, 9 insecticides and 10 weedicides was tested under laboratory condition. All insecticides, herbicides and 12 fungicides except saaf, kocide (copper hydroxide) and zineb were found to be compatible with P. fluorescens. The study indicated that most of the fungicides, insecticides and weedicides can be mixed with P. fluorescens for use in agriculture.

Abstract


The compatibility of Pseudomonas fluorescens with 15 fungicides, 9 insecticides and 10 weedicides was tested under laboratory condition. All insecticides, herbicides and 12 fungicides except saaf, kocide (copper hydroxide) and zineb were found to be compatible with P. fluorescens. The study indicated that most of the fungicides, insecticides and weedicides can be mixed with P. fluorescens for use in agriculture.
