Triathlon BA® Biofungicide — 1 gal — OMRI Listed®

Bacterial Biofungicide for Preventative Disease Control, 1gal

Fungal diseases like Botrytis, powdery mildew, and downy mildew are far easier to keep out of a crop than to treat once established, and many synthetic fungicide programs build up resistance over repeated seasons. Triathlon BA uses a living bacterial strain, Bacillus amyloliquefaciens D747, as a preventative biofungicide, giving growers a rotation option that works through a different mode of action than conventional chemical fungicides.

This 1gal container is labeled as broad-spectrum and preventative, positioned as a regular rotation component rather than a rescue treatment for an active outbreak.

Key Features & Benefits

• Bacillus amyloliquefaciens strain D747 — a living bacterial active ingredient rather than a synthetic chemical fungicide.
• Broad-spectrum preventative control — labeled against Botrytis, powdery mildew, downy mildew, and other fungal diseases.
• Organic-production approved, OMRI Listed — fits certified organic programs alongside conventional ones.
• Resistance-management value — a different mode of action supports rotation programs aiming to slow fungicide resistance.

Who Should Use This

This fits growers building a preventative fungal disease program who want a biological rotation partner alongside or instead of conventional chemical fungicides, particularly where Botrytis, powdery mildew, or downy mildew are recurring concerns.

It's labeled as a preventative, broad-spectrum biofungicide, meaning it's meant to be applied ahead of disease pressure rather than as a rescue treatment on an active outbreak. Building it into a regular rotation schedule is the intended use rather than reaching for it once Botrytis or mildew is already established.

It's labeled against Botrytis, powdery mildew, downy mildew, and other fungal diseases as part of its broad-spectrum preventative labeling. Check the full label for the complete disease list on your specific crop.

Why use a bacterial biofungicide instead of a conventional chemical fungicide

Bacillus amyloliquefaciens strain D747 works through a different mode of action than synthetic chemical fungicides, which makes Triathlon BA useful in a resistance-management rotation program. It's also OMRI Listed and approved for organic production, which a conventional chemical fungicide typically isn't.

Can Triathlon BA be used in an organic production program

Yes, it's OMRI Listed and approved for organic production. Confirm your certifier's specific documentation requirements alongside the OMRI listing before building it into a certified program.
