Brief description, technical and economic parameters of advantages and positive qualities.

The Bacillus velezensis strain enhances the adaptive potential of microcloned plants. A highly pronounced phytostimulating activity is observed during the inoculation of Bacillus velezensis ONU553 bacteria into the rhizosphere of cloned plants during adaptation from in vitro culture conditions to ex vitro conditions before planting in the soil. The strain can be used as the basis for preparations for protecting and stimulating plant growth.

The development is economically attractive for promotion to the market, as it involves the use of a new unique strain of B. velezensis ОNU553 – a producer of lipopeptide antibiotics, which has a high phytostimulating and antagonistic activity against fungi that cause diseases of agricultural plants.
