Composition:

Twenty four different strains of free living microbes

Bacteria:

Gram + and gram - strains with diverse appetites for root exudates, cell wall sloughings, decaying vegetation and atmospheric nitrogen

Actinomycetes:

Degrade organic polymers in the rhizosphere

Fungi:

Degrade rhizosphere polymers and promote bacterial growth

Capabilities:

Healthy rhizosphere populations

Beneficial microbes populate the seeds and roots generating a "healthful" zone around the growing roots through their metabolic activities

Reduction of phosphate requirements through increased availability of mineral nutrients

Products of the growth of the rhizosphere microbes may help to release insoluble mineral nutrients from the surrounding soil, particularly phosphorus

Reduction of nitrogen requirements through incorporation of atmospheric nitrogen into the rhizosphere

Nitrogen-fixing bacteria put "free" atmospheric nitrogen into the rhizosphere that becomes available to the plants as the microbes pass through their normal life cycle

Reduction of plant nitrogen and phosphate requirements

Phosphate-solubilizing microbes and nitrogen fixing microbes reduce fertilizer needs

Enhancement of the mineralization of decaying plant components

Cellulose degraders recycle decaying vegetation into useful nutrients for microbes and plants while simultaneously enhancing the porosity of thatch and soil for water

Applications:

Soil preparation for seed germination and transplanting to incorporate beneficial microbes

Home/commercial garden amendment for general plant health,

Home and commercial lawn application for general health and reduced fertilizer needs

Golf course greens, fairway and landscape amendment for healthy root systems and reduced fertilizer

Agricultural field stubble reduction of many crops

Grass de-thatching through regular lawn maintenance

Golf course greens de-thatching through regular greens maintenance
