Bayer Rhapsody

Rhapsody is a next-generation biofungicide powered by the naturally occurring Bacillus subtilis strain KTSB 1015. This strain colonizes the plant root zone, induces systemic resistance, and inhibits fungal spore germination and attachment. Designed as a preventive solution, Rhapsody provides both foliar and soil disease control through multiple, unique modes of action—including cell membrane disruption (FRAC 44), root colonization, and induced plant resistance.

It is effective against a wide range of bacterial and fungal pathogens, making it an ideal tool for integrated disease management. With zero pre-harvest interval and compatibility with various crop protection products, Rhapsody supports residue-free, sustainable farming that meets global export standards.
