Bacillus velezensis

Applied Biotech Industries Bacillus velezensis is a beneficial bacterium known for its advantages in agriculture and biocontrol. It acts as an effective biocontrol agent by suppressing a wide range of plant pathogens, including bacteria and fungi, thus protecting crops. Additionally, B. velezensis promotes plant growth by improving nutrient uptake, particularly phosphorus, and producing growth-enhancing substances. It contributes to soil health by fostering beneficial microbial communities and decomposing organic matter. The bacterium also helps plants withstand abiotic stresses like drought and salinity, enhancing their resilience. As a natural microorganism, it supports sustainable agricultural practices by reducing reliance on chemical pesticides, making it a valuable tool for crop management.
