Usage of the potential of beneficial soil microorganisms is one of the most promising areas for crop production enhancement. Of special interest are innovative multifunctional complex bioformulations based on associations of bacteria with phytoprotective and growth-stimulating properties. The study aimed to investigate the effectiveness of the new complex microbial preparation Ecophosphoryn. It was created based on associative growth-stimulating phosphate-mobilizing and nitrogen-fixing bacteria Bacillus, Azotobacter and Agrobacterium genera. Ecophosphoryn was used to treat the seeds of corn (Zea mays L.), white-headed cabbage (Brassica oleracea var. capitata L.), spray tomato (Solanum lycopersicum L.) and cabbage (Brassica oleracea var. capitata L.) during the growing season in laboratory, vegetation and field research. The protective effect of Ecophosphoryn against аlternaria of tomatoes averaged 76%. Against fusarium wilt of white cabbage on an artificial infectious background, the effectiveness of Ecophosphoryn was at the level of 78 ‒ 83%, and against alternaria head blight in the field on a natural infectious background – at the level of 45 ‒ 53%.
