GENERAL INFORMATION 

Kasumin 2L is a liquid formulation containing 2 percent kasugamycin. Kasugamycin is a 

bactericide that controls bacteria such as Erwinia amylovora, which causes fire blight in 

pome fruit. Controls (Xanthomonas campestris pv juglandis) - Walnut blight in Walnuts. 

Controls (Pseudomonas syringae pv. tomato) - Bacterial Speck , and (Xanthomonas 

campestris pv vesicatoria) - Bacterial Spot in Fruiting Vegetables. 

Resistance Management: To reduce the likelihood of bacteria developing resistance to 

kasugamycin, sound resistance management practices should be employed when using 

this product. Such practices include limiting the consecutive application of Kasumin 2L, 

and alternating Kasumin 2L applications with other bactericides that have a different 

mode of action.
