BIOMICROBES 02Targeted microbial activity in the rhizosphere

BIOMICROBES 02 delivers Pseudomonas fluorescens directly to the root zone. The targeted formulation supports an active microbial environment around the root in professional soil and substrate crops.

Why this microbiology?

What BIOMICROBES 02 supports in the root zone

Pseudomonas fluorescens is one of the most widely studied bacteria of the rhizosphere. It establishes around the root and supports processes that matter for an active, well-nourished root zone.

Active rhizosphere

Stimulates beneficial microbial activity directly around the root. Pseudomonas fluorescens moves through the root environment and attaches to root surfaces.

Nutrient availability

Supports biological processes that make nutrients in the root zone more available, including iron through siderophores.

Vital root environment

Its versatile metabolism lets the bacterium adapt to the changing root environment and contributes to a well-functioning root zone as the basis for a vital crop.

For soil and substrates

Developed for targeted application through the root zone in soil, coco, peat and stone wool.

ROLE WITHIN THE MICROBIAL APPROACH

A targeted role in the rhizosphere

Microorganisms do not work in isolation in the root zone. This is how this microbiology fits within a broader microbial approach.

Composition
Targeted: one selected organism, Pseudomonas fluorescens.
Distinctive role
A targeted contribution to rhizosphere activity and nutrient availability, including iron binding through siderophores.
Within a broader approach
Nutrient availability is also supported by other microorganisms. That does not make BIOMICROBES 02 interchangeable: the properties of this single organism define its role.

Extend the microbial strategy with purpose

BIOMICROBES 02 can be used on its own. Growers who want to broaden microbial diversity around the root in a targeted way can complement the programme with BIOMICROBES 08 or ROOT-N.

Use within one growing programme does not automatically mean products can be mixed in the same tank. Ask for advice on the right use.

Frequently asked questions

Frequently asked questions about BIOMICROBES 02

What is BIOMICROBES 02 for?

BIOMICROBES 02 brings Pseudomonas fluorescens to the root zone in soil and substrate. The product supports active biology around the root and nutrient availability.

How does BIOMICROBES 02 differ from BIOMICROBES 08?

BIOMICROBES 02 is a targeted formulation with a single bacterial species. BIOMICROBES 08 combines eight bacterial species in one consortium for root growth, nutrient uptake and active root zone biology.

Why apply BM02 again if the bacteria can multiply?

Multiplication does not mean that an applied population stays present at the same level throughout the crop. Roots grow, conditions change and microorganisms compete for space and nutrients. The BM02 label therefore provides the application schedule that you use as your starting point. A repeat application does not prove that all earlier bacteria have disappeared; nor does a single application result in permanent colonization of the root zone.

Does BM02 always give a better result when used with BM08?

BM02 contains Pseudomonas fluorescens; BM08 contains a different combination of microorganisms. That difference makes a complementary role conceivable, but does not prove an additional effect from using them together. First determine what the second product should add and test the program against that goal. Moreover, suitability within one crop program does not automatically confirm that both concentrates can go in the same tank.
