Serenade® ASO is a biological fungicide that fights fungal and bacterial diseases using the active ingredient, Bacillus subtilis QST 713. Serenade is a powerful tool to protect plants against many fungal pathogens such as anthracnose, blight, rots, scabs, bacterial streak, wilts, sclerotinia, pythium and other diseases. Applied at planting or through chemigation, Serenade ASO quickly builds a disease-protection zone around the seed or transplant. Applied as a foliar spray, Serenade ASO protects crops against diseases; both applications result in higher yields. Serenade can be tank mixed with other in-furrow products like fungicides or fertilizers and applied using existing spray or chemigation equipment. Serenade® ASO stimulates the plant to help tolerate stressors like drought and heat and to increase nutrient uptake because of its synergistic effect with the plant's natural biology.
