Soil Inoculants
| Inoculants From Mycorrhizal Applications – Mycorrhizal Fungi To Re-Establish Your Soil Food Web |
Endomycorrhizae help all plants that originated in the temperate and suptropic areas. Plants not helped are: heath, pine, oak, birch, sedge, rush, orchid, protea, mustard (crucifers), carnation, beet (Chenopods), cabbage, eucalyptus. Ectomycorrhizae help most of the rest, and work with the endomycorrhizae. |

NEW FOR 2006 – BIOSTART MICROBIALS
- Improve soil structure by increasing diversity in the soil food web
- Competes with fungus diseases—taking up space and not letting disease organisms in
- Bacteria in spore form – small, inactive, easy to disperse, suspend, won’t clog spray or drip lines, long shelf life
- Nontoxic to people, animals, plants, no limits for reentry, not genetically-modified, OMRI listed, CCFA (California Certified Organic Farmers) registered
- for more information see Biostart Inoculants
RHIZOBOOST - To help restore a natural soil food web
- Rhizome associated microbes that enhance root development and plant growth.
- Bacterial digestion by-products increase available plant nutrients.
- Bacillus chitinosporus (CM-1 strain) produces chitinase enzymes.
- Bacillus laterosporus (CM-3 strain and CM-33 strain) sticks to root tissue.
- Bacillus licheniformis (HB-2 strain) produces enzymes that degrade proteins.
DEFENSOR - To balance fungus-infested plant and soil ecology
- Crops grown in fungus-infected soils yielded significantly higher in soils treated with Defensor than untreated soils.
- Bacillus cereus (CM-1c strain) has chitinase activity.
- Bacillus subtilis (CM-5 strain) a strong microbial competitor.
Vegetables - Strawberries – Flowers (with a growing period less than six months)
