Bacillus velezensis

Bacillus velezensis

Formerly known as Bacillus amyloliquefaciens subsp. plantarum; Bacillus plantarum

Spore-forming plant-growth-promoting bacterium

Beneficial Bacteria


A robust spore-forming bacterium used in agricultural formulations to support root colonization, nutrient availability, and plant resilience.

Bacillus velezensis is widely used in agricultural biologicals because its spores offer strong formulation stability. Depending on strain and product positioning, it can support phosphorus mobilization, root-zone colonization, and induced plant responses.
Key Benefits
  • Root-zone colonization
  • Phosphorus mobilization
  • Nutrient cycling
  • Plant resilience
Formulation Availability

Wettable powder; Liquid; Seed treatment; In-furrow; Foliar; Custom blend

Compatibility Notes

Spore-forming strains are generally formulation-tolerant, but compatibility with copper, high-electrical-conductivity mixtures, and crop-protection products should be verified.
