CEASE can be affected by rain or overhead irrigation as it is not rain-fast without the addition of a spreader-sticker. Reapplication intervals may have to be shortened under conditions of frequent rainfall or daily overhead irrigation.

CEASE is labeled as a category III pesticide with the signal word CAUTION. CEASE is exempt from residue tolerances in food crops and has a 0-day PHI (Pre-Harvest Interval). CEASE has a 4-hour REI (Restricted Entry Interval) and no special Worker Protection Standard (WPS) safety requirements. [...]

No. It is recommended that one be added to improve coverage and canopy penetration. When adding a surfactant as with any tank mixes, check for phytotoxicity on a small portion of the crop.

CEASE is tank mix compatible with many products but has not been evaluated with all. Perform physical compatibility tests as outlined on the label. As recommended with most chemicals, always test a small area to observe for potential phytotoxicity. Compatibility for all our products can be found here: Product [...]

CEASE is formulated for use in common ground spray equipment such as hose-end, pressurized hydraulic, greenhouse, and hand-held sprayers. With hydraulic spray equipment, if using a hand-operated gun, adjust to the smallest droplet size possible for effective coverage. Ensure thorough coverage of plant surfaces. Spray to runoff. CEASE can [...]

The rate for CEASE ranges from 2 quarts to 8 quarts per 100 gallons. The typical starting rate is 4 quarts per 100 gallons. For effective preventative disease control under normal conditions, apply CEASE on a 7-day schedule. If conditions favor severe disease development shorten the spray interval. CEASE [...]

CEASE is an aqueous suspension (AS) which means the carrier is primarily water with the active ingredients suspended within the liquid. It is not a true solution, and therefore requires constant spray tank agitation. The suspension can separate after standing on a shelf for a long period of time, [...]

CEASE is OMRI Listed and certified for organic production under the National Organic Program (NOP).

CEASE has multiple modes of action. The bacterium colonizes plant surfaces (particularly the roots) where it competes for space and nutritional resources with pathogens. CEASE also contains bioactive compounds called lipopeptides that are produced by the bacterium. These lipopeptides disrupt cell membranes, inhibiting germination and growth of the pathogen. [...]

CEASE is a biological fungicide that contains a patented strain of the bacterium Bacillus subtilis, QST 713.  CEASE consists of a group of natural antifungal and antibacterial compounds. In multiple field trials, it has been shown to be an effective treatment for a variety of fungal and bacterial pathogens [...]
