Has Bacillus pumilus been registered as an EPA pesticide active ingredient?

Bacillus pumilus appears as an active ingredient in 17 pesticide products in EPA's APPRIL records. Of these, 14 carry an active EPA registration and 3 are inactive or cancelled. Anyone searching for Bacillus pumilus EPA registration will find that the products fall under four strains: QST 2808, GB34, PTB180 and BU F-33.

The active registrations include Bayer CropScience's Sonata ASO and Bay2000 (QST 2808), Premier Tech's Pro-Mix GHA180 line (PTB180), and BASF's Integral F-33 and Cartissa products (BU F-33). The three inactive registrations are all GB34 products from Bayer CropScience: the technical and concentrate biological fungicides and Yield Shield FS 200.

An EPA registration is precedent for the active ingredient. It is not an AAPFCO biostimulant determination, and this record makes no claim about biostimulant status.
