PPFM – Pink Pigmented Facultative Methylotrophs Explained
What is PPFM?
PPFM (Pink Pigmented Facultative Methylotrophs) are naturally occurring beneficial bacteria found on plant leaves and surfaces.
Plant
Releases methanol
as by-product
Methanol
PPFM Bacteria
Utilizes methanol
as carbon source
Growth Support
Enhanced Plant
Improved growth
& resilience
How PPFM Works: The Symbiotic Process
Plant Growth
Step 1
Plants naturally release methanol during growth processes
Methanol Release
Step 2
PPFM bacteria detect and utilize methanol as carbon source
Conversion
Step 3
Bacteria convert methanol into beneficial compounds
Enhanced Growth
Step 4
Plants receive growth-promoting substances in return
How PPFM Helps Plants
Carbon Source Utilization
Uses methanol released by plants as a primary carbon source for metabolism
Growth Substances
Produces plant growth-promoting substances that enhance development
Stress Tolerance
Enhances plant metabolism and overall stress tolerance capabilities
Application Methods
Two primary delivery systems for optimal results
Foliar Spray
Applied during vegetative or flowering stages
for direct plant surface contact
Best Timing:
• Early morning or late evening
• During vegetative growth
• Pre-flowering stage
Seed Treatment
Crop-specific treatment for early
colonization and establishment
Applications:
• Pre-planting treatment
• Coating application
• Nursery preparation
