The multifunctional biopreparation (MB) containing bacterial cells of Bacillus subtilis 26D (ARRIAM 128), Bacillus thuringiensis ssp. thuringiensis (VKPM B–5689) and Bacillus thuringiensis ssp. kurstaki (VKPM B–6066) for increasing crop yields and protect them from pests and diseases was developed. Assessment of protective and growth-stimulating properties of MB in the field revealed that two-time treatment of spring wheat plants Vatan variety with the 2 kg/ha MB allowed obtaining the maximum increase of harvest. It amounted to 0.48 t/ha of grain in comparison with the control (water treatment). The efficiency of MB application for protection of wheat against aphids was 100%. The use of a single and double concentration of mixture of biofungicide Phytosporin–М (B. subtilis 26D, 2×109 CFU/g, 1 kg/ha and 2 kg/ha) and bioinsecticide Bitoxybacillin (1 kg/ha and 2 kg/ha) did not allow to obtain an effect equal to MB influence. The developed ecological safety microbiological consortium was recommended as the basis of biopreparation with multifunctional activity
