Humico Bacillus Licheniformis for Sale

Both are beneficial spore-forming bacteria, but Bacillus licheniformis has higher heat tolerance (survives 100°C short-term) and stronger enzyme production for breaking down organic matter. It also performs better under high salinity and drought stress. Bacillus subtilis is more commonly used for foliar disease suppression. Many customers blend both for broader protection.

Yes, it can be mixed with most chemical fertilizers and fungicides, but we recommend testing a small batch first. Avoid mixing with strong oxidizers or copper-based products. For best results, apply biological products separately or within 24 hours after chemical applications. When tank-mixing with fertilizers, dilute the fertilizer first in water before adding the Bacillus powder.

Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Keep the container tightly sealed after each use. At room temperature (below 25°C), shelf life is 24 months. For longer storage, refrigeration at 4°C is acceptable but not required. Do not freeze. Avoid high humidity and temperatures above 40°C for extended periods.

Yes, it is highly salt-tolerant and remains active in brackish and marine aquaculture systems up to 35 ppt salinity. Many shrimp and fish farmers use it specifically for bottom sludge cleanup and Vibrio control in high-salinity ponds. It does not harm aquatic animals and is considered a GRAS (Generally Recognized As Safe) organism.

For soil application, use 20-40 grams per acre through drip irrigation or drench. For foliar spray, use 10-20 grams per acre every 7-14 days. For seed treatment, mix 1-2 grams per kg of seeds. Always dilute powder thoroughly in water before use. Higher rates may be needed for severe disease pressure or poor soil conditions.

Yes, Bacillus licheniformis is a naturally occurring soil bacterium and is approved for organic agriculture under most certification standards.Please check with your local certifier for specific compliance requirements in your region.

It is used for crop disease control, stress tolerance (drought, salt, cold), organic waste degradation in soil and water, and as a probiotic in animal feed to improve digestion.

No, it is generally recognized as safe (GRAS). It is non-pathogenic and widely used in agriculture, aquaculture, and feed without health risks to humans.

It does not cause diseases in humans, plants, or animals. Some rare opportunistic infections have been reported in severely immunocompromised individuals, but it is considered safe for normal use.

It is a naturally occurring soil bacterium. It is also found in plant roots, water, and air. Commercial products are produced by controlled fermentation.

No, it is not an antibiotic. However, it produces natural antimicrobial peptides (like lichenicidin) that help suppress harmful fungi and bacteria in the environment.
