BacTrome™ is a next-generation biofertilizer formulated to boost root development, nutrient availability, and plant resilience. It works through the synergistic action of Phosphate Solubilizing Bacteria (PSB), Microbial Dark Matter (MDM), and beneficial Bacillus spp., creating a powerful rhizosphere ecosystem for sustainable crop productivity.
Scientific Composition & Mechanism of Action
- Phosphate Solubilizing Bacteria (PSB):
High-efficiency PSB strains in BacTrome™ convert insoluble phosphorus sources (e.g., rock phosphate, tricalcium phosphate) into soluble orthophosphates, ensuring optimal phosphorus uptake. This accelerates root elongation, flowering, and fruiting.
- Microbial Dark Matter (MDM):
MDM represents nature’s untapped microbial diversity, contributing to:
- Biological nutrient cycling
- Suppression of soil-borne pathogens
- Production of plant growth-promoting substances (PGPRs)
- Bacillus spp. – The Core Engine:
Bacillus species form the backbone of BacTrome™ due to their exceptional adaptability and multifunctional benefits:
- Rapid Rhizosphere Colonization: Bacillus spp. establish strong root associations, improving nutrient absorption.
- Biocontrol Action: They produce antifungal metabolites, lipopeptides, and enzymes that inhibit pathogens like Fusarium, Rhizoctonia, and Pythium, reducing root diseases and damping-off.
- Stress Tolerance: Bacillus spp. enhance plant resilience under abiotic stresses (drought, salinity).
- Root Zone Activation:
The combined microbial consortium activates the rhizosphere, increasing microbial diversity and enzymatic activity for better root-soil interactions and overall plant vigor.
