HYDROPONICSLet water do more than feed

HYDROPONICS turns every irrigation into a direct route for five selected bacterial species, so active microbiology arrives exactly where water, nutrition and roots meet.

Microbiology for water-based growing

Why microbiology in hydroponics?

Bring microbiology into every irrigation

Through the irrigation water, HYDROPONICS delivers five selected bacterial species straight into the root environment and adds a broader microbial base to water-based growing.

From irrigation to root zone

The irrigation water carries the bacteria straight to the place where water, nutrition and roots meet.

Five species, one formulation

Five selected bacterial species form a single concentrated microbial consortium for water-based growing.

Nutrients keep moving

Supports microbial processes around the conversion and availability of nutrients close to the root.

Built for controlled growing

Developed for professional water culture, DWC, NFT and recirculating growing systems.

What can microbiology do for your crop?

ROLE WITHIN THE MICROBIAL APPROACH

Microbiology in a water-driven system

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

Composition
Multi-species: five bacterial species from Bacillus and Priestia, tailored to hydroponics.
Distinctive role
Brings a broad microbial base to the roots through the nutrient solution, where water, nutrition and roots are directly connected.
Within a broader approach
In hydroponics, water temperature, oxygen, circulation and disinfection strongly affect microbiology. The application is therefore matched to the whole system.

Application

Directly to the roots

Add HYDROPONICS to the nutrient solution reservoir while circulation is running.

Frequently asked questions

Frequently asked questions about HYDROPONICS

What is HYDROPONICS for?

HYDROPONICS is developed for hydroponic and recirculating growing systems, such as DWC and NFT. Through the circulating nutrient solution, it brings five selected bacterial species to the roots and supports the root zone and nutrient uptake.

How does HYDROPONICS differ from BIOMICROBES 08?

HYDROPONICS is intended for growing where the roots grow in a nutrient solution. BIOMICROBES 08 is developed for growing in soil and substrate.

How do I convert HYDROPONICS into a dose for my reservoir?

The HYDROPONICS label expresses the daily dose per hectare, with different crop stages. Reservoir volume alone is therefore not enough for the calculation. Use the treated growing area and the relevant daily rate to determine the amount of product; reservoir volume and injection then determine how it is distributed. Do not convert a dose per hectare into a fixed dose per liter of water without additional application instructions.

Do I need to give a starting dose again after replacing the nutrient solution?

A water change alters the system water, but does not tell you how many microorganisms are still present at the roots. The HYDROPONICS label describes a daily schedule per crop stage, not an automatic restart at every water change. Keep making that distinction, and for major water replacement or cleaning, record how the program will be resumed. A double or extra starting dose does not automatically follow from replacing the water.
