SENATE is a talc-based bio-formulation containing viable Pseudomonas fluorescens (0.5% W.P.), with a colony-forming unit (CFU) count of 3 × 10⁶ per gram. This beneficial bacterium acts as both a biological fungicide and a plant growth promoter by producing metabolites that suppress pathogens and secrete growth-enhancing substances. To ensure stability and adhesion, Carboxymethyl Cellulose (CMC) is included at 1.0% as a binding and protective agent. The formulation uses high-quality talc powder (98.5%) as a carrier, providing excellent shelf life, uniform distribution, and ease of application. The synergistic combination of Pseudomonas culture, CMC, and talc carrier ensures reliable performance in seed treatment, soil application, and foliar spray, offering farmers a safe, residue-free alternative to chemical fungicides.
