BACILLUS

BACILLUS is probably the most well known and promising bacteria for plant growth promotion (PGP) without harmful side effects. As an excellent agent for biofertilizer and biocontrol in agriculture. PGP mechanisms of BA have been studied extensively. BACILLUS is able to dissolve phosphate rocks to release phosphorous and make it available to plant roots. Plants in soil inoculated with Bacillus showed superior plant development in stem height, stem diameter and leaf area over plants in soils without inoculation.
