Product details
Sparsha - Pseudomonas fluorescens 1% WP - Multiplex Products
Multiplex Sparsha is a wettable powder containing the beneficial bacterium Pseudomonas fluorescens.
Use: Supports management of the diseases listed on the supplied pack.
Choose the right directions: These directions are for 1% WP powder, not liquid Sparsha.
Why Choose This Product? Key Benefits
- 🌱Beneficial bacteria: Helps reduce susceptible disease-causing organisms through competition and substances produced by the bacteria.
- 🌿Plant-defence support: The manufacturer describes support for the plant’s own defences. This is not a vaccine or a guarantee against disease.
- 🍃Growth support: The bacteria can support plant growth when used as directed; a fixed yield increase is not guaranteed.

| Brand | Multiplex |

How It Works: Mode of Action
- Competition and growth suppression: The bacteria compete with harmful organisms for nutrients and produce substances that can slow their growth.
- Nutrient availability and plant defences: The manufacturer also describes improved nutrient availability around the roots and support for the plant’s natural defences.
This does not mean that all iron is removed from the soil or that every disease is controlled.
Target Crops & Pests
The manufacturer lists cereals, vegetables, pulses, oilseeds, spice crops, plantation crops and horticultural crops, and describes soil-borne bacterial and fungal wilts. These general lists are not approvals for every crop, target and method combination.
| Crop | Target reference |
|---|---|
| Tomato and okra |
|
The manufacturer separately mentions root-knot nematodes in tomato and okra. This reference does not identify a particular method from the table below. Use the general powder methods only where the supplied label permits the same use for your crop and problem.
Dosage & Application Guide
These are general manufacturer methods for Sparsha 1% WP powder, not interchangeable crop-target programmes. Keep each product amount, water or carrier, treatment basis and timing together. Do not attach a method to the root-knot reference without the matching supplied-label directions.
Powder dosage by treatment method
| Method | Product amount | Water or carrier | How and when to use |
|---|---|---|---|
| Seed treatment | 20 g per kg of seed | Follow the pack for the coating method | Treat the seed as the supplied label directs. Follow the pack for coating ingredients and drying time; do not borrow a rice-starch recipe or fixed drying period from another product. |
| Nursery-bed treatment | 50 g per square metre | Follow the pack for the carrier and application method | Treat the nursery bed. The rate is for bed area, not per litre or per acre. |
| Seedling root dip | 50 g | 1 litre of water | Dip the seedling roots for 10 minutes, then transplant. Follow the pack for the amount of mixture needed; do not assume a fixed area or seedling count. |
| Soil application | 5 kg per acre | 120–150 kg enriched farmyard manure OR Multiplex Annapurna per acre | Mix with the chosen carrier and apply to the soil before transplanting. Do not add a separate incubation step without directions for the exact pack. |
| Foliar spray | 5 g | 1 litre of water | Use a knapsack or other conventional sprayer. The manufacturer gives 2–3 sprays at 15-day intervals. Follow the crop label for water volume and when to start. |
Keep the powder quantities and their treatment bases separate. For soil application, use the stated 5 kg per acre method; do not substitute a lower rate from a general dose range. The foliar concentration does not set a per-acre product dose without the crop’s spray-water volume.
How to Apply: Best Practices
- Choose the correct method: Follow the same row for product amount, water or carrier and treatment timing. Use either enriched farmyard manure or Multiplex Annapurna for soil application, not both at the full stated amount. Do not turn a foliar recipe into a soil, seed or root-dip recipe.
- Timing and repeats: Dip roots for 10 minutes before transplanting; apply the soil mixture before transplanting. Keep the foliar schedule of 2–3 sprays, 15 days apart, separate from the other methods. Obtain the crop-specific first-spray timing and water volume from the supplied label.
- Check every proposed mixture against the supplied labels and product-specific advice. Do not assume Metalaxyl compatibility, a seven-day copper gap or permission for a Sparsha-and-Nisarga tank mix.
- Use only the crop and target on the supplied 1% WP label. Do not infer a ginger, rice-blast, grape-mildew or other treatment programme from general crop lists or leaflet pictures.
- Follow the supplied label for re-entry and harvest waiting periods. Biological origin does not mean you can harvest immediately, or prove harmlessness or organic certification.
- Do not rely on a guaranteed cure, complete root shield or recovery of a dead plant. Keep the crop’s wider disease-management plan.
Frequently Asked Questions
1. Are these directions for liquid Sparsha?No. They are for 1% WP powder. The living count is per gram and the product doses are measured by weight.
2. How long should roots be dipped?The manufacturer’s powder direction is 50 g in one litre of water, with a 10-minute dip before transplanting. Use the stated amount and dipping time rather than borrowing another recipe.
3. Does the foliar schedule apply to seed or soil treatment?No. The 2–3 applications at 15-day intervals are the foliar-spray schedule only. Other methods have their own directions.
4. Can I harvest immediately or mix it with Nisarga?Do not assume either. Follow the supplied harvest instructions and obtain product-specific mixing advice.
