Sonata^® fungicide is effective against  downy and powdery mildews and rusts, and is an excellent fit in resistance management programs. Sonata is based on a patented strain of Bacillus pumilus (QST 2808) and makes an effective and economical biological partner in disease control programs.

Sonata contains a unique, patented strain of Bacillus pumilus (strain QST 2808) that produces an antifungal amino sugar compound that inhibits cell metabolism. Sonata also creates a zone of inhibition on plant surfaces, preventing pathogens from establishing on the plant. This novel mode of action not only creates an effective fungicide, but also makes it very difficult for diseases to develop resistance. Sonata is therefore an important tool for growers in areas where resistance to conventional products has developed, and it will help to prevent the development of resistant pathogens when it is rotated in a control program with other registered fungicides.
