Description

Kasugamycin Sulfate is a water-soluble derivative of the aminoglycoside antibiotic kasugamycin, formulated as its sulfate salt for enhanced stability and handling. This compound is valued for its potent antibacterial and antifungal activity, particularly against a range of plant pathogens. It serves as a critical active ingredient for agricultural and horticultural applications, where reliable disease control is essential for crop yield and quality.

Application

• Agricultural Fungicide & Bactericide: Primary use in controlling bacterial and fungal diseases in crops such as rice (e.g., rice blast), fruits, and vegetables.
• Plant Protection Formulations: A key component in the manufacture of soluble concentrates (SL), wettable powders (WP), and other agrochemical formulations.
• Horticulture and Turf Management: Used in professional gardening, greenhouse operations, and turf management to prevent and treat fungal infections.
• Seed Treatment: Applied as a seed coating or dressing to protect seedlings from soil-borne pathogens during germination and early growth.
• Research & Development: Serves as a reference standard and active ingredient in agricultural R&D for studying plant-pathogen interactions and developing new crop protection solutions.

Quality Control

Our Kasugamycin Sulfate is produced under strict quality management systems to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and efficacy. Quality is verified through comprehensive analytical testing, including HPLC for potency and purity. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing specific results for assay, impurities, and other critical parameters is provided with each shipment to guarantee compliance with your technical requirements.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area at controlled room temperature (15-25°C). This product is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive); the container must be kept tightly sealed to prevent absorption of atmospheric moisture, which can affect stability and handling properties.
