Is Bacillus polymyxa an AAPFCO-listed plant biostimulant, and what claim language has AAPFCO accepted?
AAPFCO accepts two activity-based claims for this organism: nitrogen fixation, supported by identification of the nif gene, and promotion of phosphorus solubilization. These accepted claims are directly relevant to manufacturers navigating label language — 'Bacillus polymyxa nitrogen fixing' and 'Paenibacillus polymyxa phosphorus solubilization' reflect what the AAPFCO source data actually supports, not broader or unverified efficacy assertions.
The dataset additionally supports the claim that Bacillus polymyxa can survive and reproduce in acidic to neutral pH soils, which matters for formulators evaluating soil compatibility across crop environments. No claims or attributes beyond these three are present in this dataset.
Claim defensibility matrix
Every row is verbatim AAPFCO-accepted claim language. Independent defensibility scoring activates when the Scientific Literature lens connects. No verdict is invented before then.
No caveats noted on this record. Verbatim wording is always shown in full; nothing is reinterpreted.
