Bacillus polymyxa(Agriculture)
Inquire NowDescription
Bacillus polymyxa is a beneficial, non-pathogenic bacterium known for its endospore-forming ability. This remarkable microorganism produces natural antibiotics, including polymyxin, along with antibacterial proteins like fusarium, which effectively inhibit the growth of gram-positive bacterial pathogens and fungal pathogens. Bacillus polymyxa plays a crucial role in preventing and controlling diseases while enhancing plant nutrition through nitrogen fixation and phosphorus solubilization, ultimately promoting robust plant growth.
Utilizing root irrigation techniques with Bacillus polymyxa can significantly mitigate bacterial and fungal soil-borne diseases, while also reducing the incidence of these pathogens on plant leaves. This bacterium demonstrates efficacy against various soil-borne diseases, including taro soft rot, Chinese cabbage soft rot, pepper root rot, flower root rot, Polygonatum root rot, Adenophora root rot, tomato damping-off, tomato wilt, and pepper blight. Beyond disease control, Bacillus polymyxa is known for its pronounced growth-promoting and yield-enhancing effects on a wide range of plants.
