BioConsortia's new biofungicide/bactericide, Amara has received registration from the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). With potential applications in high-value fruit and vegetable production, the product is designed to protect crops from foliar diseases with a biological mode of action that offers an alternative to chemical fungicides and with greater consistency in efficacy than current biological products on the market.
This consistency is achieved by Amara's high concentration of environmentally stable active ingredients. The beneficial bacteria in Amara produce antimicrobial components that directly degrade fungal pathogen cells and promote systemic resistance within the plant, resulting in contact control and suppression of disease organisms that reduce yield.
Amara biofungicide will be marketed and sold by Nichino America, Inc. Product launch plans are currently under development, and Nichino expects for product to be available for the 2025 use season.
