Bacillus Subtilis

Bacillus Subtilis

PGPR and bacterial biocontrol concentrate for disease suppression and plant growth promotion

Supports biological disease control, nutrient mobilization, and rhizosphere health

Bacillus subtilis is a Plant Growth Promoting Rhizobacteria (PGPR) and bacterial biocontrol concentrate widely used in biological agriculture for suppression of fungal and bacterial plant diseases. The bacteria rapidly colonize the rhizosphere and compete effectively against harmful microorganisms while supporting healthier root development and nutrient uptake.

The microbial strain also improves plant resilience against abiotic stresses such as drought and salinity through biological stimulation and induced plant defense responses.

Target Pathogens

Tomato botrytis

Ticks

Cotton verticillium wilt

Ticks

Cotton fusarium wilt

Ticks

Root rot pathogens

Ticks

Cotton blight

Rice blight

Citrus canker

Ticks

Apple ringspot pathogens

Antimicrobial Compound Production

Produces bioactive compounds including:

  • Subtilin
  • Polymyxin
  • Gramicidin

These metabolites inhibit growth and development of pathogenic fungi and bacteria.

Rhizosphere Colonization

Rapid colonization around plant roots helps suppress pathogen establishment and prevent pathogen spore germination.

Induced Systemic Resistance (SAR)

Activates plant defense pathways and strengthens resistance-related responses before pathogen infection occurs.

Nutrient Solubilization

Helps mobilize and solubilize nutrients such as:

  • Phosphorus
  • Potassium
  • Calcium
  • Magnesium

Improving nutrient availability for plant uptake.

Plant Growth Promotion

Supports root development, nutrient absorption, plant vigor, and overall crop productivity.

Abiotic Stress Tolerance

Enhances plant tolerance against environmental stress conditions including drought and salinity.
