RhiZoBas WP (Approval EM 735.E)
RhiZoBas is a product based on a selected strain of naturally-occurring beneficial soil Bacillus amyloliquefaciens. It is a plant Growth Promoting Rhizobacteria. B. amyloliquefaciens has been documented to positively affect plants in a number of different ways.
RhiZoBas is commonly found attached to roots and the plant rhizosphere, the area immediately surround the roots. This bacterial localization reflects the fact that plant roots commonly exude a significant fraction of the carbon that is fixed by photosynthesis (see below) and provide this fixed carbon to soil microbes that use it as a food source.
