CEASE™ Microbial fungicide and bactericide
Controls of a wide array of both fungal and bacterial pathogens, while providing outstanding plant, human and environmental safety.  CEASE controls disease using multi-site modes of action for superior resistance management, and leaves virtually no residues on plants or flowers.   CEASE can be used on ornamentals (container or field), trees, shrubs, potted and cut flowers, annual and perennial bedding plants, tropical foliage plants, seedlings, conifers, covered vegetables.  CEASE can be used in the field, greenhouse, nurseries - open or enclosed, shade house environments, interiorscapes, seedling production sites, forest seedling production sites, agricultural, residential and commercial landscapes, and reforestation. For Foliar Diseases CEASE is an effective alternative to synthetic chemicals for fungal pathogens such as Botrytis gray mold and powdery mildews, and to coppers for bacterial diseases, such as Erwinia and Xanthomonas. With a 4-hour re-entry interval and a 0-day preharvest interval, CEASE provides growers flexibility and labor costs savings. For Soil Diseases CEASE is also a broad spectrum root biofungicide for the control of soil borne diseases on a wide range of ornamentals and vegetables. CEASE enhances germination and plant growth by suppressing diseases caused by Rhizoctonia, Pythium, Fusarium and Phytophthora. Mode of Action Based on a naturally occurring patented strain of Bacillus subtilis (strain QST 713), CEASE contains a group of natural antifungal and antibacterial compounds with multiple modes of action to destroy pathogens. CEASE is a valuable addition to any disease control program where resistance development is a concern. Compatibility CEASE, a liquid formulation, easily goes into suspension. It is compatible with a wide range of pesticides, fertilizers and adjuvants. The use of a spreader/sticker or wetting agent is strongly recommended to improve canopy penetration and coverage. Use CEASE immediately before or after a B-Nine application without the phytotoxicity concerns common with coppers.
