Tomato grey mould management

A focused tomato role

Tomato grey mould affects fruit condition and crop hygiene. BJ-1 has a defined, registered crop-specific role.

Strain-specific documentation

BJ-1 has its own identity and registration record. Evidence from other Bacillus velezensis strains is not substituted for it.

Supports an integrated approach

Consider biological protection alongside moisture management, crop inspection and removal of infected material.

Composition & material characteristics

Bacillus velezensis BJ-1

Bacillus velezensis BJ-1 is a defined biological strain for tomato grey mould management.

Documented formulation

Bacillus velezensis BJ-1 is formulated as water-dispersible granules with a declared viable count of 2.0 × 10¹⁰ CFU/g.

Strain deposit identity

The original patent publication identifies BJ-1 as CGMCC No.24113, providing a traceable reference for the strain.

Research & field evaluation

The following studies and field evaluations concern this strain and its formulations. Each result applies only to the crop, conditions and formulation described.

WHAT THE STUDY FOUND

Tomato grey-mould control reported at up to 82.8%.

RESEARCH SCOPE

Reported maximum; no full trial table, trial locations, cultivar breakdown or comparison-treatment details are published.

Crop applications

Tomato grey mould is the registered crop–disease combination for BJ-1. Disease assessment distinguishes affected plant parts and the growing environment. Assess condensation, wet plant surfaces and damaged or senescent tissues as part of the broader grey-mould management context. Follow grey-mould symptoms and marketable-fruit condition separately from height, biomass or general crop vigour.

Quality & product characteristics

Identity before comparison

Technical comparisons should use the same BJ-1 strain, formulation identity and declared quality basis.

A complete document chain

Connect the applicable label, product specification and batch certificate so the supplied material is identifiable.

Separate reported results from guarantees

Published field results explain the scientific background; batch specifications and local labels define the supplied product.

Product questions

Is the 82.8% figure an average field result?

No. The published result is a maximum of 82.8%. The trial distribution is not published, so it should remain a reported maximum.

Can the tomato evidence be used for other grey-mould crops?

The confirmed registration is for tomato. A shared disease name does not establish the same crop response or authorisation; each additional crop needs its own supporting record.
