Bacillus subtilis
Bacillus subtilis is a Gram-positive, endospore-forming bacterium widely studied for its roles in agriculture, biotechnology, and molecular biology. It functions as a biocontrol agent by producing antimicrobial compounds, enhances plant growth via phytohormone production and nutrient solubilization, and participates in bioremediation by degrading organic pollutants. Its utility in industrial processes stems from its production of enzymes, antibiotics, and biopolymers. As a model organism, B. subtilis provides insights into sporulation, biofilm formation, and gene regulation, underscoring its scientific and practical significance.

Seed Dressing Method
Mix Bacillus subtilis with crude sugar in sufficient water to make a slurry. Coat seeds and dry in shade. Sow / broadcast / dibble in the field. Do not store treated / coated seeds for more than 24 hours.
Soil Application Method
Mix Bacillus subtilis at recommended doses in sufficient water. Drench soil at early leaf stage / 2-4 leaf stage / early crop life cycle.
Drip Irrigation: If there are insoluble particles, filter the solution and add to drip tank.
For long duration crops / Perennial / Orchard crops: Dissolve Bacillus subtilis at recommended doses in sufficient water. Apply as a drenching spray near the root zone twice a year. First application before the onset of the main monsoon / rainfall / spring season, and second application after the main monsoon / rainfall / autumn / fall season.
Foliar Application Method
Foliar application to be done at early disease incidence. 1-2 follow-up sprays at weekly intervals.
Mix Bacillus subtilis at recommended doses in sufficient water. Spray on foliage / fruit / plant. Apply twice a year for long duration crops. First application before the onset of the main monsoon / rainfall / spring season, and second application after the main monsoon / rainfall / autumn / fall season.
Note: Do not store Bacillus subtilis solution for more than 24 hours after mixing in water.
