About us
Bactiva GmbH, as part of the international Bactiva Group, is a biotechnology company specializing in beneficial microorganisms for sustainable crop enhancement.
With a strong presence in Europe, North America, and Africa, our alliance of companies boasts over 90 employees and operates a microbiological laboratory, a strain collection, and multiple production sites.
Our focus is on harnessing the power of beneficial microorganisms, including PGPR, mycorrhizae, and Trichoderma, to optimize plant growth and health. These microorganisms form symbiotic relationships with plant roots, enhancing nutrient and water uptake, and strengthening the plant's natural defenses against environmental stressors.
Located in Straelen, Germany, we collaborate closely with the Bactiva Group to serve customers in Europe, the Middle East, and Africa, staying at the forefront of innovation in agricultural technology.

Products & Services
Our product line includes:
Bactiva®: Biological strength and adaptability from the roots up.
Vitabac®: Increase nitrogen, phosphorus and microelements availability while lowering chemical fertilizer use..
Fosfonat® 2000: Mycorrhiza + beneficial bacteria increase root mass, improving water and nutrient absorption for crop resistance against drought.
Pentacil®: Enhances plant vigor and strengthens crops against environmental stress factors.
Pentri®: Trichoderma and five species of Bacillus promote root development, increase plant vitality and improve crop resistance to abiotic stress.
Bactiva®
Bactiva® is a water dispersible soil inoculant, which strengthens the plant root and enhances the resistance. The product is of a powdery texture and contains a highly potent strain of Bacillus subtilis and several species of the beneficial fungus Trichoderma, which strengthen plants in a natural way. Bactiva® is a rooting agent that stimulates the growth of roots through bacteria that produce plant hormones (Gibberellins, Cytokinins), such as Bacillus megaterium and Pseudomonas fluorescens.
Increases
Transplant survival ● Nutrient availability ● Root mass ● Flowering and color (flowers) ● Cell division ● Harvest and production ● Water and nutrient uptake ● Respiration and photosynthesis ● Lateral bud development ● Plant performance under stress
Reduces
Loss of plants ● Damage due to frost ● Use of chemical fertilizers and fungicides
Vitabac®
Vitabac® is a bacterial soil and root inoculant for all plant species. The product is of a powdery texture and available as a standard or a five times concentrated blend. The bacteria colonize the root surface and the immediate adjacent area, the rhizosphere. The bacteria fix atmospheric nitrogen in the soil and solubilize bound phosphates, to make them available to plants. They also produce plant growth hormones that stimulate root growth (Gibberellins and Cytokinins).
Increases
Root growth ● Nitrogen and phosphorus uptake ● Yield and production
Reduces
Uneven growth ● Susceptibility ● Use of fertilizers
Pentacil®
Pentacil® is a water dispersible plant vitalizer which increases vitality and strengthens the plant’s immune system. The product contains five highly potent Bacillus species that naturally strengthen the plants: Bacillus amyloliquefaciens, B. licheniformis, B. pumilus, B. simplex and B. subtilis. Pentacil® is suitable for soil and foliar applications. Bacillus spores are more resistant to adverse environmental conditions than the spores (conidia) of Trichoderma fungi. This is especially true for the conditions on the leaf surface where they are exposed to dryness and UV radiation. Therefore, Pentacil® is a useful supplement to Trichoderma products, such as Bactiva®, especially when application is difficult and when the microorganisms encounter challenging living conditions.
Increases
Plant´s vitality and resistance to abiotic stress factors ● Yield and production ● Shelf life
Reduces
Plant loss ● Use of chemical fertilizers and fungicides
Pentri®
Pentri® is a powdered, water-soluble soil amendment that stimulates root growth and releases nutrients to plants. The product contains five species of Bacillus and Trichoderma. Various bacteria and Trichoderma produce plant growth hormones (gibberellins, cytokinins). The microorganismens stimulate and strenghtens the root system throughout the growing season. The bacteria dissolve chemically inaccessible phosphorus that the plants cannot absorb on their own. They also release potassium from the substrate. In addition, they are indispensable tools during the plant's germination phase or during the restoration of damaged roots. The microorganisms are supplemented with biostimulants that stimulate cell division and the development of lateral buds, as well as delaying the ageing of plant tissues.
Increases
Root growth ● Water and nutrient uptake ● Yield and production
Reduces
Use of fertilizers ● Uneven growth ● Loss of plants ● Damage due to frost
Fosfonat® 2000
Fosfonat® 2000 is a biological inoculant based on mycorrhizal fungi, which provide the plant with an additional supply of water and nutrients.
Rhizobacteria (PGPR) release phosphates blocked in the soil and make them available to the plant. They produce plant growth hormones (gibberellins and cytokinins), which stimulate plant and root growth.
Increases
Availability of water and nutrients (P) ● Root mass ● Water absorption ● Production and quality ● Respiration and photosynthesis
Reduces
Plant losses ● Irregular growth ● Damage from water and salt stress ● Use of fertilizers ● Vulnerability
