SUBTIMA contains the Bacillus subtilis bacterium, naturally present in soil and capable of living symbiotically with plants in the root zone. Its spore-forming ability ensures long-lasting effectiveness.
• During germination, when conditions are favorable, the bacteria become active and colonize around the roots, forming a physical barrier that protects against pathogens.
• Secretes lipopeptides to enhance the plant's systemic resistance and support defense mechanisms against potential pathogen attacks.
• Its spore-forming capability allows it to remain dormant on coated dry seeds for extended periods.
• Through secreted metabolites, it stimulates the synthesis of plant hormones like auxin, cytokinin, and gibberellic acid, accelerating vegetative growth, increasing germination rates, and ensuring synchronization.
