Our organic fertiliser products, Diptia and Vitalis are formulated carefully with an addition of a Bacillus halotolerans strain, your friendly garden bacteria! A strain that was isolated from the guts of our own black soldier fly larvae, natural to the local ecosystem. But what exactly is this bacteria?
Bacillus halotolerans is a remarkable bacterium that is gaining attention in the agricultural industry, particularly in the context of fertilisers. This microbe thrives in salty environments and can survive in a wide range of conditions, making it an excellent candidate for enhancing soil health and crop productivity. 🌱🔬
Some key functions and benefits include:
✨promotes plant growth
✨protects crops from harmful pathogens
✨supports sustainable farming practises
The pathways of B. halotolerans KKD1 in alleviating stress in wheat plants under salt conditions from Wu et al., 2022 https://doi.org/10.3389/fpls.2022.978066
In fertilisers, B. halotolerans has the ability to promote plant growth. It produces a variety of enzymes and bioactive compounds that can improve soil fertility and enhance nutrient availability. For example, it can produce proteases and amylases, which break down organic matter in the soil, releasing essential nutrients that plants need to grow. This natural process not only enriches the soil but also supports sustainable farming practices by reducing the need for chemical fertilisers. Check out our organic 100% natural frass biofertiliser Diptia and Vitalis which has been proved to improve plant and fruit growth, notably for Durian!
Additionally, B. halotolerans has biocontrol properties that help protect crops from harmful pathogens. By colonising the root zone, it creates a protective barrier against soil-borne diseases, reducing the reliance on chemical pesticides. Diptia and Vitalis are an eco-friendly option for farmers looking to increase crop yields while maintaining soil health. Check out our testimonials to learn more about the disease prevention outcomes from using our products! 🌿🛡️
Overall, Bacillus halotolerans is a valuable addition to our biofertilisers here at Nutrition Technologies, offering a natural and sustainable way to boost crop production and protect against diseases. Durian plants often suffer from fungal diseases which can be prevented by using Diptia or Vitalis!
