Bacillus mucilaginosus, also known as a silicate agent, is developed using silicate bacteria with strong potassium-dissolving abilities, isolated from crop roots, using a specific culture medium and industrial fermentation.
Through its biological activities in the soil, it increases the supply of plant nutrients, stimulates crop growth, and inhibits the activity of harmful microorganisms, resulting in a significant yield-increasing effect. It is currently the most significant and widely recognized microbial agent for increasing yields.
–Bacillus mucilaginosus secretes growth-promoting substances such as auxins and gibberellins, which strengthen root growth and seedlings, directly enhancing plant drought resistance.
Both auxins and gibberellins are present within the Bacillus mucilaginosus bacteria and in its fermentation broth. The fermentation broth contains cytokinins, gibberellins, and indoleacetic acid. These combined effects stimulate crop growth, strengthening root growth and seedlings, promoting growth, and enhancing plant resistance to stress.
–Bacillus mucilaginosus breaks down silicon in the soil for plant use, thickening the plant’s wax layer and improving its water retention capacity.
Bacillus mucilaginosus cells grow and multiply around seeds or crop roots. During their metabolism, they produce large amounts of organic acids and enzymes, which decompose insoluble minerals such as aluminosilicates in the soil, releasing potassium, phosphorus, silicon, magnesium, and zinc as ions for absorption and utilization by plant roots.
Silicate bacteria grow and multiply in the soil, breaking down insoluble minerals such as metasilicates, allowing plants to absorb large amounts of silicon from the soil. This thickens the plant’s wax layer, enhancing its nonspecific immunity and water retention.
–Bacillus mucilaginosus effectively promotes the formation of soil aggregates, preventing soil compaction. It also disrupts soil capillary action, preventing evaporation. This significantly improves soil drought resistance, resulting in a highly effective effect.
