Claims12
A method of increasing growth of a plant, comprising,
- (a) applying to the foliage of a plant or to a plant growing medium an effective amount of a composition consisting of fermentation broth and microorganisms consisting of isolated microorganisms of IN-M1, Accession No. PTA-12383,
- so that a treated plant has increased growth compared to an untreated plant.
A method of increasing growth of a plant, comprising,
- (a) applying to the foliage of a plant or to a plant growing medium an effective amount of a composition consisting of fermentation broth and microorganisms consisting of isolated microorganisms of IN-M1, Accession No. PTA-12383, and Candida utilis, Streptococcus lactis, Lactobacillus planterum, or a micorrhyzal fungus, or combination thereof;
- so that a treated plant has increased growth compared to an untreated plant.
A method of increasing growth of a plant, comprising,
- (a) applying to the foliage of a plant or to a plant growing medium an effective amount of a composition consisting of fermentation broth and microorganisms consisting of isolated microorganisms of IN-M1, Accession No. PTA-12383;
- so that a treated plant has increased growth compared to an untreated plant;
- wherein the composition is prepared using an initial mixed culture inoculated with a first mixed culture of isolated microorganisms consisting of Lactobacillus helveticus, IN-LH1, Accession No. PTA-12386, Bacillus subtilis, IN-BS1, Accession No. PTA-12385, and Lactobacillus casei;
- a second mixed culture of isolated microorganisms consisting of Saccharomyces cerevisiae, IN-SC1, Accession No. PTA-12384, and Rhodopseudomonas palustris, IN-RP1, Accession No, PTA-12387;
- and a third mixed culture of isolated microorganisms consisting of Saccharomyces cerevisiae, IN-SC1, Accession No. PTA-12384, and Aspergillus oryzae;
- and
- wherein the first mixed culture, second mixed culture, and third mixed culture are added to the initial mixed culture at a ratio to each other of 1:1:0.5.
