Growth Products
Companion Liquid Biological, manufactured by Growth Products, contains the exclusive GB03 strain of Bacillus subtilis, a naturally occurring beneficial microbe that controls and suppresses a wide range of foliar and soil-borne plant diseases such as powdery mildew, leaf blight, rust, damping off, dollar spot, and more.
Companion has multiple modes of action. GB03 produces a broad-spectrum antibiotic that disrupts pathogen cell-wall formation, and it stimulates a plant’s natural immune system (ISR). A competitive and fast-colonizing rhizobacterium, GB03 also crowds out pathogens to prevent their growth and antagonistic effects. It is used as a stand-alone treatment and also in combination with other fungicides creating a synergistic affect, while reducing the opportunity for disease resistance with conventional fungicides.
