Salus Pento is a bacterial fertilizer developed for stubble treatment and the breakdown of stem residues, to increase the biological activity of the soil. 

Decomposition of plant residues can be significantly delayed due to the reduced presence of beneficial bacteria, which also worsens the cultivability of the soil, but also with a significant deterioration of soil quality (so-called pentosan effect) must be counted. 

The consequences of the prolonged decomposition process may be that the plant culture to be produced does not receive enough nitrogen. 

Salus Pento is a bacterial fertilizer with effective cellulose-decomposing bacteria that has a beneficial effect on soil life, for which: 

• the stubble and stem residues decompose quickly, thereby avoiding the problems caused by the pentosan effect 
• the cultivability of the soil improves, the consumption of fuel and time decreases 
  
• by breaking down the cellulose content and organic matter, they provide natural fertilizer for plant cultures, so part of the fertilizer can be saved 
• intensive humification of the stem residues improves the water balance of the soil and by breaking down the habitat of pathogens that overwinter in the stubble residues, the risk of infection also decreases 
• substances biosynthesized by the bacteria of the preparation stimulate the microbial life of the soil, enhance root growth, thereby increasing nutrient absorption. 
  

The total microbe count of beneficial cellulose-decomposing soil bacteria in the preparation: minimum 10_9 CFU/cm3. 

The strains of the Salus Pento bacteria (Pseudomonas fluorescens Cellvibrio fulvus, Azotobacter beijerinckii, Bacillus amyloliquefaciens) were isolated from their natural environment, therefore they break down their cellulose and lignocellulosic soil residue with high efficiency and their effect is cold but frost-free conditions. 

Azotobacter beijerinckii, with the help of N bound from the air to satisfy the N demand of the cell-destroying cells, i.e. to prevent the pentosan effect.

Bacillus amyloliquefaciens is a very good decomposer of organic matter and is active at higher temperatures, so it is also active during summer and early autumn stubble treatment.

In addition, this strain is a good phosphorus mobilizer, thus, another critical nutrient in the nutrition of cellulose decomposers, by ensuring the synchrony of P, the stubble decomposer "bioreactor" works autonomously. 

The great advantage of this strain is that it is sporulating, so it can more easily survive the dry periods and extreme temperature conditions typical of stem residue treatment. 

Pseudomonas and Bacillus strains in autumn stem residues (corn, sunflower) are more active by breaking down complex lignocellulose and by their laccase enzyme activity. 

The core composition was specified for this task. 

Furthermore, the production of antibiotics and siderophores by Bacillus amyloliquefaciens and Pseudomonas fluorescens strains is effective in increasing resistance to plant pathogens at the germination stage. 

With their powerful reproduction skills, they quickly colonize the rhizosphere of the developing plant, displacing bacteria that cause root neck entrapment and seedling bending, as well as pathogenic fungi.
