Bacillus amyloliquefaciens D747?

Post by micvog » August 14th, 2018, 7:09 am

I have run out of biofungicide and need to pick some up to get through the rest of the season. Before I purchased more Serenade I was looking at different options and came across "Bacillus amyloliquefaciens D747" - a biological fungicide marketed by Southern Ag.

I found a presentation online (http://wrir4.ucdavis.edu/events/2017_SL ... 202017.pdf) by Bayer. Apparently this biofungicide is also known as "Double Nickel" and was registered by Certis. It works by colonizing the root hairs. The presentation also suggested rotating biofungicides (3rd to last slide).

Has anyone heard of it? Interested in hearing whether this is a good option for turf or whether I should stick with what I know works.

No comment on it specifically. But I noticed that Serenade seems to be less expensive than some other types.
