Diebackcare™ contains microbial consortia of fungi and bacteria. The composition is customised to comply with regulatory guidelines of respective countries. The microbes used in Diebackcare™ are proprietary strains and compliant with National Bio Diversity Authority guidelines and have Access Benefit Sharing (ABS) agreement with the State Bio Diversity Board for payment of royalty to the habitat from where the microbes have been isolated.
Substrate Competition for space and Nutrients: Diebackcare™ microbes colonize maximum space and absorbs maximum nutrients available at the target site and thereby controls the pathogens by starving them for food and competing for space- Domino effect.
Mycoparasitism: Diebackcare™ is a biological fungicide that attacks disease causing pathogens before they reach the plant system. It derives nutrition from the target pathogen and Diebackcare™ spores multiply inside it and eventually kill the pathogen.
Enzyme production: Diebackcare™ contains microbes which secrete certain antagonistic secondary metabolites which have an anti-fungal effect that pathogenise and kill the disease-causing organism. The metabolites released also have a Plant growth promoting effect which stimulates the rhizosphere for better root establishment and root health.
PGPR Effect: Beneficial microbes present in Diebackcare™ also exhibit Plant growth promoting rhizosphere stimulation effect.
Diebackcare™ is available in the following formulations:

Dose: 50 g / Tree Apply with compost to root zone and to surrounding trees Water recommendation for drench: 1000 L – 2000 L / Ha Apply 2 times in 1 Year. Before onset of monsoon and after monsoon. |
Soil application: Diebackcare™ can be used as under:
1. Make a circular band around the rain drop zone where maximum feeding roots are present and apply/drench Diebackcare™. Treat surrounding trees also to prevent spreading of disease in the season as Dieback / wilt spreads to surrounding trees quickly. Apply two times a year.
2. Drip Irrigation: If there are insoluble particles, filter the solution and add to drip tank.
3. Long duration crops / Perennial / Orchard crops: Dissolve Diebackcare™ at recommended doses in sufficient water and apply as a drenching spray near root zone twice a year. It is recommended to have first application before the onset of the main monsoon / rainfall/ spring season and second application after the main monsoon / rainfall / autumn/ fall season.
Note:
Do not store Diebackcare™ solution for more than 24 hours after mixing in water.
A fraction of the product may not be soluble in water. It is advisable to filter and discard undissolved residue and use filtered liquid for spraying or feeding through drip irrigation.
Compatible with other BioPesticides , biofertilizers, organic fertilizers, organic manures, biopesticides, vermicompost, sea kelp (seaweed fertilizer), protein hydrolysates, organic carbon and rock phosphate.
Note:It is advisable to have a one-week gap if soil application pesticides are to be used after application of Diebackcare™.
Store in ambient temperature, not more than 35 degrees Celsius. Preferably store between 4 – 10-degree Celsius. Keep container closed after use. Store in a dry place.
Diebackcare™ has a shelf life of 6 months from the date of manufacturing.
Diebackcare™ composition can be customized to meet local regulatory guidelines.
Diebackcare™ is offered in India as Carrier based powder formulation and Soluble Powder formulation with a Total viable count of 1x 10 ^7/g.
