The Multiple Activities and the Plant Beneficial Potential of <i>Bacillus</i> spp. Derived from the Permafrost of Western Siberia

Agents of biological control are an important part of traditional agriculture, as well as organic farming. However, in the climatic conditions of countries that are located in cold and temperate regions, plant protection requires particular biocontrol agents that have adapted to environments with lo...

It was found that the bacilli in the seed germination assay exhibited low phytotoxicity and there was no significant advantage over the conventional fungicides in the yield stimulation assay. However, the twin consortia of <i>B. megaterium</i> 312 and <i>B. simplex</i> 948P-1 was able to increase winter wheat yields by 50% (compared to the untreated group), and by 70% (compared to the commercial biofungicide-treated group).
