Independent peer-reviewed evidence: BIOBAC® against soil-borne tomato diseases
A tomato greenhouse trial by Tunisia's IRESA regional research centre for horticulture and organic agriculture, published in the Brazilian Journal of Microbiology in January 2026, used BIOBAC® (Bacillus subtilis Y1336) as the commercial biofungicide reference. Compared with the untreated control, it reduced wilt incidence by 63.1% and stem vascular browning by 74.1%, and gave the highest root fresh weight of the trial (31.80 g against 20.17 g).

View on FacebookIs something unseen eating your tomato roots?
Root-knot nematodes burrow into crop roots, form galls and block nutrient uptake, often with no visible sign above ground. Y1336 (Bacillus subtilis) was tested in a GEP-standard field trial conducted by Eurofins Agroscience Services in Spain. In the tomato greenhouse trial, Y1336 raised marketable fruit yield by +29.9%, better than or on par with the commercial standard reference product.

View on FacebookWhy Bacillus subtilis Y1336?
Y1336 forms biofilm quickly to colonise the rhizosphere, produces lipopeptides (surfactin, iturin, fengycin) and enzymes (chitinase, β-1,3-glucanase) that act against fungal pathogens, and induces systemic resistance (ISR) in the crop. In a balloon flower stem and root rot trial, Biobac 50WP as a pre-planting soil treatment gave 60.84% control after 8 months; applied at 0.1% twice, 7 days apart, after symptoms appeared, it gave 50.84% at 2 weeks and 60.00% at 4 weeks. The post also sets out an IPM programme rotating Y1336 with fosetyl-Al.
