Influence of Nocardia vaccinii IMV B-7405, Acinetobacter calcoaceticus IMV B-7241 and Rhodococcus erythropolis IMV Aс-5017 exometabolites on the harvest of tomato, pepper and barley

Abstract

Metabolites of Nocardia vaccinii IMV B-7405, Acinetobacter calcoaceticus IMV B-7241, and Rhodococcus erythropolis IMV Ac-5017 stimulated the growth and productivity of barley, tomato, and pepper. Plant treatment increased barley yield by 60–83%, tomato biomass by 70–145%, and pepper yield by 12–77%. The results demonstrate the potential of these microbial metabolites for developing integrated growth-stimulating and antimicrobial preparations
