Bacillus mucilaginosus (aka Paenibacillus Mucilaginosus) is a potent agricultural biofertilizer that naturally unlocks insoluble potassium, phosphates, and silicates for plant absorption. This soil inoculant also improves soil structure, boosts plant stress resistance, and enhances root growth, providing a natural alternative to chemical fertilizers. Benefits include:
Applied Biotech Industries manufactures Bacillus mucilaginosus (formerly Paenibacillus mucilaginosus) with advanced fermentation technology. Our fermentation process ensures maximum microbial viability and potency, resulting in a superior biostimulant product that helps to transform modern farming approaches.
This naturally-occurring biostimulant enhances soil fertility and crop growth. Its ability to solubilize potassium, phosphates, and silicates makes it an important tool for boosting plant nutrition while reducing reliance on synthetic fertilizers. Additionally, this plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) significantly enhances micronutrient availability, unlocking essential elements including Silicon, Calcium, Iron, Zinc, Manganese, Copper, Magnesium, Sulfur, and Molybdenum. This supports optimal plant metabolism and defense mechanisms against environmental stressors. Key benefits include:
Bacillus mucilaginosus functions as a potassium-solubilizing bacterium, releasing plant-available potassium from minerals like feldspar and mica. This natural process enhances soil fertility, strengthens root systems, and builds plant resilience against drought and environmental stressors. Growers incorporating our B. mucilaginosus biofertilizer into their soil management practices reduce chemical fertilizer dependence while improving soil health and crop performance.
Bacillus mucilaginosus is a bacterial biostimulant that functions as both a phosphate-solubilizing and silicate-solubilizing microorganism, offering significant benefits for agricultural applications. By breaking down insoluble phosphate and silicate minerals in the soil, it makes these critical nutrients available to plants.
This soil probiotic releases phosphorus from bound soil minerals, promoting robust root development while simultaneously unlocking silicon from insoluble compounds, enhancing plant cell wall strength. Crops experience improved disease resistance, enhanced structural integrity, and greater stress tolerance through increased silicon uptake.
The soil inoculant supports organic and sustainable farming by improving the transport and availability of many key nutrients, including:
By producing organic acids (like citric and gluconic acid) and nutrient-mobilizing enzymes, B. mucilaginosus enhances soil nutrient availability, unlocking essential minerals for plant absorption.
This soil probiotic secretes polysaccharides that enhance soil aggregation, promoting better water retention, aeration, and microbial diversity, creating optimal conditions for plant growth.
Bacillus mucilaginosus enhances plant resilience to drought stress by improving water retention and root development. It also helps detoxify heavy metals in contaminated soils by binding and transforming toxic elements, reducing their uptake by plants and promoting healthier growth in challenging environments.
This plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) naturally stimulates plant growth by producing growth hormones (IAA, gibberellins), leading to stronger roots, faster development, and higher crop productivity.
Eco-Friendly and Sustainable
By enhancing nutrient cycling, B. mucilaginosus reduces reliance on chemical fertilizers, supporting sustainable and organic farming.
Bacillus mucilaginosus is a natural biofertilizer that enhances both macronutrient and micronutrient availability, leading to stronger, healthier, and more productive crops—all while promoting a sustainable farming future.
Dosage:
When tank mixing with fertilizer, add Bacillus mucilaginosus after the fertilizer is fully diluted in water. Do not tank mix with herbicides, fungicides, bactericides, or pesticides.
A: Bacillus mucilaginosus, also known as Paenibacillus mucilaginosus, is a naturally occurring plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) that improves plant nutrition by solubilizing potassium (K), phosphorus (P), and silicon (Si) from minerals, making them more bioavailable to crops. It also enhances micronutrient availability, strengthens soil structure, and promotes plant growth naturally, reducing reliance on synthetic fertilizers.
A: Bacillus mucilaginosus solubilizes potassium, silicates and phosphates. Applied Biotech Industries produces and supplies this agricultural soil inoculant from our factory in Wisconsin, USA.
A: Yes, however when tank mixing with fertilizer, add Bacillus mucilaginosus after the fertilizer is fully diluted in water. Do not tank mix with herbicides, fungicides, bactericides, or pesticides.
For best results, mix or shake Bacillus mucilaginosus in a small volume of water to pre-mix, then add to the tank to help ensure even dispersion. Maintain agitation throughout the application to prevent settling.
A: No. As with all of our strains, Bacillus mucilaginosus is a non-GMO, naturally occurring bacterium. It is cultivated without genetic modification and works through natural biological processes to improve soil health and plant nutrition.
A: Yes, Bacillus mucilaginosus is an agricultural biostimulant suitable for organic farming because it naturally enhances soil fertility without synthetic inputs. Many organic growers use it to improve nutrient cycling and soil health. Check with your organic certification body to ensure compliance with specific regulations.
A: This beneficial microbial soil inoculant bacterium breaks down insoluble minerals in the soil, releasing potassium, phosphorus, silicon, and essential micronutrients like calcium (Ca), iron (Fe), zinc (Zn), manganese (Mn), copper (Cu), magnesium (Mg), sulfur (S), and molybdenum (Mo). It also secretes organic acids and polysaccharides, enhancing soil structure, aeration, and water retention.
A: No, it should not be applied at the same time as pesticides, bactericides or fungicides. Some pesticides may reduce the microbial activity of this biofertilizer.
A: This plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) most benefits crops that require high potassium, phosphorus, and silicon benefit the most, including:
A: This soil fertility microbe can be applied via soil drench, seed coating, soil application, or incorporation into organic matter for soil enrichment. For best results, follow recommended application rates and timing to maximize nutrient solubilization and plant uptake.
A: Yes, we typically supply Bacillus mucilaginosus in bulk and it is packaged in 22lb or 44lb pails (10kg or 20kg pails). We also supply it in 345lbs (156kg) drums. Most of our agricultural microbes are sold wholesale in these container sizes.
A: Yes, this strain was reclassified as Paenibacillus mucilaginosus, but is still also commonly known as Bacillus mucilaginosus.
A: Yes, all the strains we sell, including Bacillus mucilaginosus, are eco-friendly, sustainable biofertilizers that naturally enhance soil fertility without harming the environment. This soil probiotic helps reduce chemical fertilizer use, restore soil health, and improve long-term agricultural sustainability.
