BIOMICROBES

Microbial biostimulants for professional crop production

BIOMICROBES develops microbial biostimulants and targeted formulations for soil, substrate, hydroponic cultivation and professional irrigation systems.

Microbiology at work

What can microbiology do for your crop?

The right microorganisms can support key biological processes in and around the root zone: from nutrient availability and root development to plant vitality and general resilience. They do not work in isolation: different organisms complement each other and sometimes contribute to the same processes. That is why microbial composition matters.

  • Nutrients

    Making nutrients more available and supporting efficient uptake.

  • Root development

    An active environment in which roots develop and function well.

  • Rhizosphere

    More beneficial microbial activity directly around the root.

  • Plant vitality

    A well-functioning root zone as the basis for a vital crop.

  • Resilience

    A vital crop copes better with changing growing conditions.

Application areas

Microbiology across the root zone and water system

Our portfolio is structured around two clearly defined application areas within professional growing systems.

Our approach

From microbiological expertise to practical application

A microbial solution must suit the crop, growing system and conditions in which it is used. With microbiological expertise, direct links to product development and a practical focus, we support growers and distributors in choosing and applying products for their specific situation.

Specialised microbiological expertise Knowledge of microorganisms and their application within professional growing systems.
Developed for professional use Products and formulations aimed at conditions in the root zone and in water and irrigation systems.
Support in product selection and use Practical support in choosing a solution that matches the application.

Microbial solutions for professional growing systems

Below, we highlight two solutions from our broader portfolio. View each product for application details and product-specific information.

Growing systems

Matching the reality of the crop

The use of microbial products relates to the crop, the root environment, the water system and crop management.

Greenhouse horticulture Production under glass, with substrate or soil-grown systems and controlled irrigation.
Open-field production Open cultivation in which soil, root environment and water management vary widely.
Hydroponic production Systems in which roots sit mainly in water or a water-rich medium.

Practical questions

Frequently asked questions about microbial biostimulants

What does BIOMICROBES do?

BIOMICROBES develops microbial solutions for professional growers. Our products contain selected microorganisms for the root zone and for irrigation water, as a biological complement to your growing program.

Which product groups does BIOMICROBES offer?

Two groups. Root zone & crop biology: BIOMICROBES 02, BIOMICROBES 08 and ROOT-N for soil and substrate, and HYDROPONICS for hydroponic growing. Water & irrigation: WATER TREATMENT for stored and recirculating irrigation water and DRIP LINE for drip irrigation maintenance.

Do microbial biostimulants replace fertilizers?

No. They complement your fertilization program. The selected microorganisms support the root and nutrient use; the nutrients themselves still come from your fertilization.
