[A toxicological evaluation of an Agrobacterium radiobacter-based biological fertilizer].

Abstract

Pathogenic properties (for warm-blooded organisms) of the industrial strain Agrobacterium radiobacter (strain 204) and toxicity of biofertilizer on its base--rhizoagrin--have been studied. It is established that the studied microorganisms are avirulent, nontoxic, nontoxicogenic and may be recommended for making biopreparations. The preparation rhizoagrin is not toxic for warm-blooded animals and may be used as an alternative of chemical mineral fertilizers.
