S ummary In the presence of phyllosphere bacteria, aqueous washings of foliage of Camelina sativa stimulate early growth of several species of higher plants. At least two bacteria can promote the observed effects, however, suitable substrates for bacterial activity may be limited to cruciferous plants. The stimulatory principle is produced rapidly by bacterial activity and is probably an organic chemical produced by bacterial degradation of more complex compounds commonly found in the Cruciferae.
