The science

Mode of action

How Bactosmart works inside the plant and the soil.

Plant colonization
Foliar-applied endophytes enter through stomata and cuticular openings, colonizing leaf tissues and forming beneficial symbiotic associations internally.
Nitrogen fixation
Leaf-colonizing microbes fix atmospheric nitrogen on the phyllosphere surface, converting it into ammonia that supports immediate foliar nutrition.
Zinc mobilization in plants
Endophytes in leaf apoplastic spaces release organic acids and chelators, converting bound zinc into absorbable Zn²⁺ within mesophyll tissues.

Secretes phytohormones that promote growth
Foliar microbes produce auxins, gibberellins, and cytokinins, enhancing chlorophyll activity, leaf expansion, and overall photosynthetic efficiency.
Stimulates resistance against pathogens (HCN & hydrolytic enzymes)
Surface-colonizing microbes release HCN and hydrolytic enzymes that inhibit foliar pathogens, strengthening leaf defense responses and reducing infections.
