Although many of the products and tools organic farmers use have been around for decades, if not centuries, researchers are always finding new ways to exploit natural pest and disease pathogens that work invisibly in the soil, water, and air. Two such examples are the bacteria Bacillus subtilis and Bacillus pumilus, which naturally kill plant diseases by killing them or slowing down their growth.
Farmers have used one strain of B. subtilis to treat seeds and soil for plant pathogens since the 1930s, but researchers are still discovering new beneficial strains of bacteria that have horticultural applications. Learn which OMRI-approved products are used for seed, soil, and foliar applications in the organic vegetable field and orchard.
Kodiak Fungicide
The strain of B. subtilis present in the Kodiak fungicide multiplies naturally in the soil, forming harmless colonies on the roots of the crops. This leaves less room for harmful disease fungi to grow. This biological fungicide also consumes juices and substances the roots release into the soil, which normally feed the harmful fungi. Therefore, the fungi are deprived of the food they need to grow.
