Companion® Biological Fungicide

A Break-Through Biological Fungicide
Companion® Biological Fungicide is a practical, versatile, and environmentally sound product that is used for broad spectrum disease prevention, control and suppression. As the first EPA-registered liquid biofungicide in the U.S. market, Companion is revolutionizing growers' ideas about disease control and sustainability.
Companion can protect your crops from start to finish, from initial seed germination, to plug production, to field transplant to final harvest. Trials at the University of California Davis, the University of Arizona, and at Pacific Ag Research in California have shown increased disease control when Companion is used with reduced rates of many chemical fungicides. Used alone, tank-mixed with other fungicides, or in rotation with chemical fungicides, Companion can also prevent the development of disease resistance.
Companion Liquid or Dry Concentrate contains the active ingredient Bacillus subtilis GB03, a naturally occurring rhizosphere bacterium that quickly colonizes the root hairs of all food crops. It lives on the root and foliage, protecting the plant from soil borne pathogens, root rot diseases, and foliar disease by producing a strong broad-spectrum antibiotic that desiccates the pathogen.
Unlike chemical fungicides, Companion triggers a plant's natural immune system, producing an Induced Systemic Resistance (ISR) and Systemic Acquired Resistance (SAR) to ward off disease. Companion also produces auxin-like metabolites that promote increased root mass and branching, ultimately resulting in better roots, better crop quality, and higher yields.
Highly Recommended!

Redefining Your Fungicide Expectations
Companion® Biological Fungicide is a safe, 100 percent natural biological fungicide that both prevents and controls a broad spectrum of root and foliar diseases such as root rot, blight, wilt, bottom- and stem-rot, and bacterial leaf spot (Phytophthora, Pythium, Fusarium, Rhizoctonia, Sclerotinia and Xanthomonas campestris).
A patented biological fungicide unlike any other product on the market, Companion contains the naturally occurring beneficial bacterium known as Bacillus subtilis GB03.
The GB03 isolate combats disease pathogens though multiple modes of action. It quickly colonizes a plant's root hairs and literally crowds out disease producing microbes in the soil; it produces antibiotics that disrupt the cell wall formation of pathogens, causing the pathogens to desiccate and die; and it creates a beneficial Induced Systemic Resistance (ISR) whereby plants' own natural immune system is stimulated to better resist diseases.
Used alone, in combination with, or in rotation with chemical fungicides, Companion can serve a crucial role in a grower's disease resistance management program.
Companion's GB03 also acts a Plant Growth Promoting Rhizobacterium (PGPR) and bio-stimulant. It naturally encourages plant growth and produces better rooting, branching and flowering on plants.
Directions:
Treat seeds as a preventive application before planting.
Use 2-4 tsp per gallon of water, drench soil every 14-28 days.
