High-CFU Soil Probiotic for Plant Resilience & Fertility

Our Bacillus licheniformis powder is a high-CFU, spore-forming plant growth-promoting rhizobacterium (PGPR) widely used in agriculture. This microbial inoculant and biofertilizer enhances nutrient availability, improves root development, and increases crop resilience to environmental stress. It produces phytohormones, organic acids, and beneficial enzymes that unlock bound nutrients. This Bacillus licheniformis biofertilizer is ideal for use where plant health, soil fertility, and abiotic stress tolerance are critical.

  • Stimulates root growth and early seedling vigor
  • Activates natural plant defense responses (ISR)
  • Improves uptake of phosphorus, potassium, nitrogen, and key micronutrients
  • Enhances resilience to drought, salinity, and heat stress
  • Boosts soil microbial activity, organic matter decomposition, and rhizosphere health

Root Development & Plant Growth Enhancement

B. licheniformis supports healthy root systems and robust vegetative growth through natural biosynthesis of plant growth regulators.

  • Produces indole-3-acetic acid (IAA) and gibberellins to stimulate root elongation and branching
  • Enhances seed germination rates and early seedling establishment
