Novel plant growth-promoting bacteria for enhanced agricultural bio-inputs
Developed unique strains of Paenibacillus, Bacillus, and Methylobacterium that significantly enhance plant growth by increasing root surface area for nutrient uptake. Ideal for nutrient-poor soils, these strains solubilize phosphorus and produce auxin. Suitable for agricultural bio-inputs.
Overview
This innovative solution offers new strains of bacteria, including Paenibacillus, Bacillus, and Methylobacterium, which have been shown to significantly promote plant growth. These strains increase the length of both main and lateral roots, enhancing the surface area available for nutrient uptake. This is particularly beneficial in nutrient-poor soils, making these bacteria ideal candidates for agricultural bio-inputs.
Technical specifications
Key features:
- Unique strains isolated with genetic sequencing and in vitro testing
