Swastik Strepto Gold Bactericide - Streptomycin Sulphate 90% + Tetracycline Hydrochloride 10% SP for Bacterial Disease Control

Swastik Strepto Gold is a broad-spectrum bactericide specially formulated to protect crops from bacterial diseases. It combines two powerful antibiotic active ingredients — Streptomycin Sulphate IP 90% w/w and Tetracycline Hydrochloride IP 10% w/w — in a wettable powder (SP) formulation. This dual-action formula works by inhibiting protein synthesis in bacteria, which stops the disease-causing organisms from multiplying and spreading across the plant.

Bacterial infections can quickly damage leaves, stems, and fruits, leading to poor plant health and lower yields. Strepto Gold helps farmers manage these infections at the first sign of disease, keeping the crop healthy and productive. It is designed for use across various crops and is easy to mix and apply with standard spraying equipment. With its broad-spectrum action and crop-safe formulation, Strepto Gold is a practical choice for farmers looking to protect their fields from bacterial diseases.

Key Benefits

• Broad-spectrum bactericide that controls a wide range of bacterial diseases in multiple crops
• Dual-action formula combines the strengths of Streptomycin Sulphate and Tetracycline Hydrochloride for stronger protection
• Helps maintain healthy crops, supporting better plant growth and higher yields
• Crop-safe formulation specially designed to protect plants without causing harm
• Easy mixing and application process for efficient disease management in the field
• Acts quickly at the first sign of bacterial infection, limiting disease spread

How It Works

Strepto Gold works by inhibiting protein synthesis inside the bacterial cells. Both active ingredients — Streptomycin Sulphate and Tetracycline Hydrochloride — belong to the antibiotic chemical group and target the bacteria that cause plant diseases. When the bactericide comes into contact with the infected plant surface, it enters the bacterial cells and blocks the production of essential proteins. Without these proteins, the bacteria cannot grow, multiply, or cause further damage to the crop.

Because the two antibiotics act together, the product offers a dual-action approach that is effective against a wide range of bacterial pathogens. The wettable powder formulation dissolves easily in water, allowing the active ingredients to spread evenly over the plant surfaces when sprayed. This ensures good coverage and helps the product reach the areas where bacterial infection is active, giving farmers a reliable tool for managing bacterial diseases in the field.

Technical Specifications

Recommended Dosage & Application

Follow the recommended dosage instructions specific to the crop and disease being treated. The dosage may vary depending on the crop type and the severity of the bacterial infection. Always measure the correct amount of Strepto Gold before mixing.

Mixing Instructions:

• Measure the recommended dosage of Strepto Gold
• Add the measured bactericide to a clean spray tank half-filled with water
• Stir the mixture thoroughly
• Fill the tank with the remaining water while continuously stirring to ensure a uniform solution

Application Method:

• Apply the mixture evenly over the affected crops using a knapsack sprayer or any suitable spraying equipment
• Ensure thorough coverage of the plant surfaces to maximize effectiveness
• Apply at the first sign of bacterial infection and repeat as necessary according to the disease pressure

When to Use

Apply Strepto Gold at the first sign of bacterial infection on the crop. Early application is important because bacterial diseases can spread quickly across the plant and to nearby plants if left untreated. Watch for common signs such as leaf spots, wilting, blight, or fruit rot, which may indicate bacterial activity.

Repeat the application as necessary based on the level of disease pressure in the field. If the infection is severe or conditions remain favourable for bacterial growth, additional sprays may be needed. For best results, maintain good coverage of all plant surfaces, including the undersides of leaves where bacteria often hide.

Step by Step Usage Instructions

1. Wear protective clothing, gloves, and eyewear before handling the product.
2. Measure the recommended dosage of Strepto Gold for your crop and disease.
3. Fill a clean spray tank half with water and add the measured bactericide.
4. Stir the mixture thoroughly until the powder is fully dissolved.
5. Add the remaining water to the tank while continuously stirring to get a uniform solution.
6. Spray the mixture evenly over the affected crops using a knapsack sprayer or suitable equipment.
7. Ensure thorough coverage of all plant surfaces for maximum effectiveness.
8. After application, wash your hands and mouth with soap and water.

Precautions & Safety

• Wear protective clothing, gloves, and eyewear while handling the product
• Avoid inhaling the spray mist and avoid contact with skin or eyes
• Do not apply near water bodies to prevent contamination
• Avoid spraying on windy days to reduce drift to non-target areas
• Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and moisture
• Keep out of reach of children and pets
• Wash hands and mouth with soap and water after handling and applying the product
• In case of accidental exposure or ingestion, treat symptomatically and seek medical advice
