Multiplex Bactinash 200 is a contact bactericide and plant immunomodulator by Multiplex Bio-Tech Pvt. Ltd., formulated with 2-Bromo-2-Nitropropane-1,3-Diol 95% in a wettable powder form. Unlike conventional bactericides, Bactinash 200 works on two levels: it directly destroys bacterial cell membranes on contact while simultaneously stimulating the plant's own immune system to produce enzymes and secondary metabolites that build natural disease resistance. This dual action makes Multiplex Bactinash 200 both a curative and a preventive solution, effective even after infection has begun. It is suitable for Cotton, Citrus, Paddy, Beetlevine, Tomato, Banana, Grapes, Potato, and a wide range of vegetable, flower, and fruit crops across India.
Key Features & Benefits of Multiplex Bactinash 200:
Contact Bactericide and Bacteriostatic Action: Bactinash 200 kills bacteria on direct contact and also prevents surviving bacteria from multiplying, giving both knockdown and residual control in a single application.
Plant Immunomodulator: Multiplex Bactinash 200 stimulates enzyme secretion inside the plant, boosting the production of secondary metabolites that build the crop's natural resistance against further bacterial infection.
Curative and Preventive: Bactinash 200 bactericide works effectively both before symptoms appear as a preventive spray and after infection has begun, significantly reducing disease spread and crop damage.
Broad Disease Spectrum: Controls a wide range of bacterial diseases, including Black Arm, Angular Leaf Spot, and more.
Wide Crop Compatibility: Effective across Cotton, Citrus, Paddy, Beetlevine, Tomato, Banana, Grapes, Potato, and all vegetable, flower, and fruit crops.
Easy to Mix and Apply: The powder formulation dissolves readily in water, making it suitable for foliar spray and soil drenching without any special equipment or complex mixing steps.
Compatible with Fungicides: Bactinash 200 bactericide can be tank-mixed with most fungicides, allowing combined disease management in a single spray session.

Multiplex Bactinash 200 Dose — Crop-Wise Recommended Dose:
Mix the recommended dose in 200 litres of water per acre for foliar spray. Apply at the first sign of bacterial infection or preventively during high-risk weather.
Application Method | Dose Per Litre | Per 15L Pump | Per Acre | PHI |
Foliar Spray | 0.3–0.5 gm | 5–7 gm | 60–100 gm | 7–14 days (crop specific) |
Soil Drench | 0.3–0.5 gm per litre | As required | As required | — |
How To Use Multiplex Bactinash 200:
Measure the required dose as per the dose table above.
Pre-dissolve the measured powder in a small amount of clean water and stir into a smooth suspension.
Pour into the sprayer tank and fill with the remaining clean water. Mix well before spraying.
Spray evenly on upper and lower leaf surfaces for thorough coverage of all plant tissue.
For soil drenching, prepare the solution at 0.3–0.5 gm per litre and apply directly to the root zone.
Apply during cool hours — early morning or late evening — for best absorption and efficacy.
Do not spray during strong winds or when rain is expected within 4 hours of application.
Rinse the sprayer tank and equipment thoroughly with clean water after use.
Best Time to Apply:
Apply Multiplex Bactinash 200 in the early morning or late evening. Start spraying at the first sign of bacterial infection or apply preventively during humid, rainy, or high-risk weather when bacterial diseases spread fastest.
Frequency of Application & Re-Entry Period:
Frequency of Application: Apply at the first sign of disease. Repeat every 10–15 days if disease pressure continues. Do not apply more than 3–4 times per season to reduce resistance risk.
Re-Entry Period: Do not enter treated fields for at least 24 hours after spraying without proper protective gear.
Tank-Mix Compatibility: Bactinash 200 bactericide is compatible with most fungicides and insecticides. Avoid mixing with strongly alkaline products. Always do a jar test before mixing with unfamiliar inputs.
Safety Precautions & Handling:
Wear gloves, goggles, and a face mask before handling or mixing this bactericide.
Do not eat, drink, or smoke during mixing or spraying.
Avoid skin and eye contact — rinse immediately with clean water for 15 minutes if contact occurs.
Keep children, pets, and livestock away from treated fields for at least 24 hours.
Wash all exposed skin with soap and water thoroughly after use.
Triple rinse empty containers, puncture, and dispose of per local waste guidelines.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) — Multiplex Bactinash 200:
Q1. What is Multiplex Bactinash 200 used for?
Bactinash 200 bactericide controls a wide range of bacterial diseases — including Black Arm, Angular Leaf Spot, Bacterial Wilt, Fire Blight, Sheath Rot, Stem Rot, Crown Gall, and Tuber Soft Rot - across crops like Cotton, Paddy, Citrus, Tomato, Banana, Grapes, Potato, and all vegetables and fruit crops.
Q2. Is Bactinash 200 a preventive or curative bactericide?
Applied before the disease appears, it builds the plant's immune response and acts as a barrier against bacterial entry. Applied after infection, it kills bacteria on contact and slows their spread through the tissue, making Multiplex Bactinash 200 effective at any stage of disease development.
Q3. How does 2-Bromo-2-Nitropropane-1,3-Diol work as a bactericide?
The active compound in this crop remedy disrupts the cell membrane and cellular processes of bacterial pathogens — preventing them from reproducing and causing further infection. It simultaneously triggers the plant to produce protective enzymes and secondary metabolites that strengthen its own resistance to re-infection.
Q4. Can Bactinash 200 bactericide be mixed with fungicides?
Yes. Bactinash 200 bactericide is compatible with most fungicides, making it practical to manage both bacterial and fungal diseases in one spray session. Always perform a jar test before mixing with any unfamiliar product, and avoid mixing with strongly alkaline solutions.
Q5. How many times should Bactinash 200 be sprayed per season?
Apply at the first sign of bacterial disease and repeat every 10–15 days if disease pressure continues, up to a maximum of 3 to 4 applications per season. Rotating with bactericides that have a different mode of action after 2–3 sprays is recommended to prevent resistance development in the target pathogen population.
