Bacillus megaterium
Microorganisms for improving phosphorus-potassium nutrition
Bacillus megaterium biomass live cells and spores of Bacillus megaterium bacteria and their metabolic products (phytohormones, organic acids, antibiotics, enzymes, etc.). It is designed to improve the phosphorus and potassium nutrition of plants and stimulate the growth of the root system.
The action of the preparation is based on the ability of microorganisms included in the preparation to transform hard-to-soluble phosphorus and potassium compounds into forms available to plants.
Due to the release by microorganisms Bacillus megaterium complex of organic acids (citric acid, malic acid), inorganic phosphorus compounds are broken down, and the release of a complex of enzymes - phosphatases, provides the breakdown of organic phosphorus compounds, which are contained in significant amounts in the soil, which allows the elements of nutrition to be more accessible to plants.
Additionally, auxin series phytohormones produced by microorganisms provide stimulation of root system development, which contributes to the increase of plant nutrition.

Biomass Bacillus megaterium works most effectively in the root zone (rhizosphere), and therefore the optimal application method is seed treatment, spraying the soil in the seed zone during sowing, spraying the soil with subsequent wrapping.
✅ Increases the content of available forms of potassium in the soil up to 15-20 kg per hectare of cropland.
✅ Increases the content of available forms of phosphorus in the soil up to 25-50 kg per hectare of cropland.
✅ Increases the efficiency of rational use of mineral fertilizers.
✅ Increases germination energy, seed germination and seedling establishment.
