Humico Bacillus amyloliquefaciens for Sale

It produces lipopeptides (Iturins, Surfactins) that kill fungal pathogens, colonizes plant roots to block soil-borne diseases, induces plant systemic resistance, and promotes growth by producing IAA and solubilizing phosphorus.

No. It is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) and non-pathogenic to humans. It has no toxicity and is widely used in agriculture, food fermentation, and probiotics.

B. amyloliquefaciens produces significantly higher levels of antifungal lipopeptides (Iturins, Fengycins) and enzymes like amylase. B. subtilis is better known for biofilm formation and broader antibacterial activity. Both are beneficial PGPR, but B. amyloliquefaciens is often preferred for fungal disease control.Taxonomically, Bacillus amyloliquefaciens remains the accepted name. However, some strains previously called B. amyloliquefaciens have been reclassified as Bacillus velezensis (e.g., strain FZB42). For commercial agricultural products, the name B. amyloliquefaciens is still widely used.

Yes, but avoid broad-spectrum bactericides like copper, streptomycin, or antibiotics. Bacillus amyloliquefaciens is compatible with most chemical fungicides (e.g., azoxystrobin, mancozeb). Always add the biological product last after fully diluting chemicals in water. For best results, apply separately or wait 3–5 days between applications.

For foliar diseases like Powdery Mildew or Botrytis, you typically see lesion growth stop within 48–72 hours after spraying. For root diseases like Fusarium or Rhizoctonia, visible improvement in plant vigor usually appears within 10–14 days after drench application. Preventive use gives the best results.

Store in a cool, dry place below 25°C (77°F), away from direct sunlight and moisture. The product has a 24-month shelf life at room temperature. No cold chain is required. Once opened, reseal the bag tightly and use within 30 days to prevent spore activation from humidity.

Yes. Bacillus amyloliquefaciens is a naturally occurring soil bacterium and is compliant with organic standards including OMRI, EU 2018/848, and NOP. Humico can provide compliance documentation and heavy metal test reports for certification bodies. Always confirm with your local certifier before use.

Both methods work well. For drip irrigation, use 50–200 grams per acre (depending on CFU concentration). Our 100–200 mesh powder dissolves completely and will not clog emitters. For foliar spray, use 2–3 grams per liter of water. Apply in early morning or evening to reduce UV exposure.

Absolutely. Bacillus amyloliquefaciens is non-toxic to bees, ladybugs, predatory mites, and other beneficial insects. It is a biological control agent that targets only pathogenic fungi through lipopeptide activity. You can apply it during flowering without harming pollinators – no special restrictions needed.
