ABSTRACT:
Spores of Bacillus uniflagellatus, s.p.n. (ATCC 15,134) are applied to plant seeds, as by the use of a shaker bag, or adhesively, or applied to the soil adjacent the seed by being commingled with the seed in a drill box. Alternatively, the roots of seedlings or transplanted plants may be dippd in an aqueous suspension of the spores, or in the case of densely populated, established crops, such as strawberries, the spores may be sprayed on the leaves and washed into the soil containing the root systems, or the spores may be worked into the soil adjacent to the rootlets, as in the case of trees. Many plants when treated with this microorganism produce an increase in yield based on total harvested crops, and/or an increase in yield in terms of higher permissive strengths or density of planting, namely more plants per given unit of area, and/or increased resistance to plant diseases. Over-fertilizing with nitrogen yields an increase in protein with oats, corn, wheat, and barley treated with the spores of Bacillus uniflagellatus.
