Custom Development of Probiotics for Plants
Probiotics are known to promote human and animal health. However, plants also have microbiota. High levels of beneficial probiotics in the soil can improve plant health and growth. Creative Enzymes combines agricultural knowledge with our expertise to provide customized probiotic formulations to provide growers with green and sustainable plant health solutions.
What Are Probiotics for Plants
Plant probiotics are naturally occurring plant-associated microorganisms that enhance the growth and yield of host plants and can suppress disease when administered in appropriate amounts. The main probiotics that promote plant growth include Bacillus, Bacillus parapsilosis, Pseudomonas, and Serratia, etc. They provide beneficial effects to host plants by producing phytohormones, antibiotics and lytic enzymes, fixing atmospheric nitrogen, dissolving soil mineral nutrients and inducing systemic resistance in host plants.

How Plant Probiotics Work
- Beneficial microorganisms around plant roots suppress the invasion of harmful pathogens by colonizing the plant root system and producing some secondary metabolites.
- Inducing systemic resistance by stimulating the host's immune response.
- Promoting host nutrition and growth.
Our Services
Plant probiotics have shown many advantages in promoting plant growth and controlling pathogens. Creative Enzymes' plant health experts provide custom plant probiotics to manipulate the plant microbiome in a purposeful and effective manner to modulate plant phenotypes. We develop a colonized microbiome by controlling variables such as soil type, growth stage and plant genotype. The process primarily involves developing effective single or multiple microbial inoculants, and combinations of prebiotics and postbiotics can be used to manage and stimulate the existing beneficial microbiome.
Customized Plant Probiotics
Creative Enzymes can provide customized biological solutions to promote healthy plant growth in the following ways. Our scientists scientifically select probiotics for use in plants based on the mechanisms of plant-root microbial interactions and environmental stimulation of the plant's immune system. In addition, we conduct preliminary evaluations of the efficacy of customized probiotic combinations when used on plants to ensure the perfect customized solution for our clients.
