The Bacillus strains in potato protect have been selected for their effectiveness in soil conditions typical of potato cultivation. Once applied, the microorganisms colonize the soil and root system, forming a biological protective barrier against common potato diseases, such as late blight (Phytophthora infestans), potato wart (Synchytrium endobioticum), early blight (Alternaria spp.), and rhizoctonia (Rhizoctonia solani).
The bacteria secrete a range of bioactive metabolites that act antagonistically against pathogens while also supporting the plant's natural immune mechanisms by activating induced systemic resistance (ISR). Additionally, the microorganisms improve soil structure and accelerate the decomposition of post-harvest residues, thus reducing the infectious potential in the soil environment.
Due to their ability to make nutrients more bioavailable—such as nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P), potassium (K), calcium (Ca), magnesium (Mg), zinc (Zn), iron (Fe), and silicon (Si)—the product promotes root system development, tuber quality, and overall yield. Regular use of potato protect leads to healthy, strong plants with higher yield potential.
Bacillus sp. bacteria, each strain at a minimum concentration of 2 x109 CFU per 1 gram of the product.

Application is recommended both before planting—to establish effective biological protection during sprouting and early growth—and during the growing season as a foliar application.
