Plant growth-promoting Bacillus and Trichoderma strains support the plant to build a strong and efficient root system, improving its tolerance towards stress caused by unfavorable conditions or soil pathogens.
Spores of the naturally occurring soil Bacillus or Trichoderma strains germinate and colonize the young growing roots. The beneficial microorganisms release enzymes and other compounds which stimulate plant growth and mobilize nutrients. On seeds, it is an ideal strategy to put an added value on existing products, by improving germination rate, nutrient uptake, plant emergence and stand establishment.
Some specific strains, such as Bacillus velezensis FZB42 have proven to be able to significantly suppress soil borne disease such as Rhizoctonia or Fusarium. A seed coating with this strain gives a an ideal protection during the sensible period of plant emergence.
