Abstract

The effects of synthetic and natural high-dispersion materials on the growth of Agrobacterium radiobacterwere studied. Natural minerals montmorillonite and palygorskite (10 g/l nutrient medium) were more potent than high-dispersion silica and its modified forms in stimulating growth of Agrobacterium radiobacter. The interaction of Agrobacterium radiobacterwith clay minerals increased the survival rate of bacteria at supraoptimal temperatures. We elaborated a new granular bacterial preparation which enhanced the productivity of cucumbers by 12–15%.
