Bacillus Subtilis / Pumilus

Bacillus subtilis / pumilus is spore forming bacteria which, when applied to the seeds or plants, it colonize the developing root system of the plants. The bacteria compete with and thereby suppress plant disease fungal organisms such as Rhizoctonia, Fusarium, Aspergillus, and others. Bacillus subtilis / pumilus continue to live on the root system and provide protection throughout the growing season. Therefore, even if treated seeds are stored for prolonged periods, the bacteria stay alive, and then grow and multiply after the seeds are planted.
