Sai Fungi Virus Bio-Viricide – Bacillus subtilis & Pseudomonas fluorescens
Product Description
Sai Fungi Virus is a research-based liquid biological crop-protection formulation containing a bacterial consortium of selected strains of Bacillus subtilis and Pseudomonas fluorescens. The formulation is designed to support the natural defence response of plants against recommended viral diseases.
The beneficial microorganisms may help induce systemic resistance and support the expression of plant defence mechanisms. The bacterial consortium also contributes to nutrient availability, including phosphate mobilization, thereby supporting overall crop health when used according to label directions.

Sai Fungi Virus is a liquid biological crop-protection formulation containing selected strains of Bacillus subtilis and Pseudomonas fluorescens.
Which plant diseases is it intended to manage?
It is intended to support management of label-recommended viral diseases, including yellow mosaic, tobacco mosaic, brinjal little leaf and specified leaf curl diseases.
What is the recommended dosage?
The supplied recommendation is 1 ml per litre of water or 250 ml per acre. Users must confirm the correct crop-specific dosage on the product label before application.
Can it be applied to every crop?
It may be suitable for different agricultural, horticultural, broadacre and plantation crops, but it should be used only where permitted by the product label.
Does it guarantee a complete cure for every viral disease?
No agricultural biological product should be represented as a guaranteed cure for every viral disease. Performance depends on the crop, disease stage, environmental conditions and application practices.
Can it be mixed with chemical bactericides?
Such mixing may affect beneficial bacterial viability. Mix only when compatibility is permitted by both product labels or recommended by a qualified agricultural adviser.
