MICROBEBIO® NATURE VIGOR

Initial: MB-NV

MicrobeBio® Nature Vigor™ is on the leading edge of a robust generation of bio-fertilizers. Our extensive research in understanding the regeneration and restoration of soil health has pioneered the release of this highly innovative line of soil amendments, specially developed for building a supportive soil habitat to heal the damage caused by commercial agricultural practices. Today’s agricultural practices typically lead to the destruction and depletion of vital organic matter and nutrients through overuse of fertilizers, erosion, and runoff as a consequence of unsustainable farming practices.This product is a rich elixir that connects healthful, organic matter with robust strains of bio-stimulates that work in-sync to transport the best nutrients to your plants. How does this happen?  Simply put, these 50+ microbial strains break down organic matter in the soil to make macronutrients, secondary nutrients and micronutrients available for plants.   Even more so, the microbes further benefit the soil by making it more fertile while allowing it to retain moisture. Their growth and activity cycle also provides reservoirs for increased nutrient uptake by plants, thereby decreasing wasteful leaching (nutrient runoff).MicrobeBio® Nature Vigor™ believes in helping farmers to fully harness the relationship between microbes and organic matter to create healthier soil that minimizes the damage caused by chemical fertilizers and pesticides. As in nature, the newly regenerated, healthy soil provides the best growth and yield potential for your crops. Our entire line of microbial soil enhancers is designed to work in a synergistic, systemic cycle, and we are dedicated to providing environmentally friendly products that create and maintain thriving eco-systems for promoting healthy and sustained plant growth.MicrobeBio® Nature Vigor™ is on the leading edge of a robust generation of bio-fertilizers.

MICROBEBIO® HYDRO ACTIVATOR

Initial: MB-HV

MicrobeBio® Hydro Activator™ is a natural liquid soil enhancer that boosts the efficacy of most nutrient programs due to its catalytic blend of 100% organic proteins, key amino acids, and sequential chain of microbial organisms. These components work with plants to form a nutritive “root refuge” which improves germination, root growth, stimulates biological activity in soils, and provides essential major plant nutrients. It is an excellent fit for systems-based management approaches for productive and sustainable agriculture.BIOLOGICAL ELEMENTSThis organic fertilizer forms a nurturing and healthful microbial bio-shelter around the roots of your plants. We have included our premium microbial strain-sequence, suspended in an organic humus carrier to ensure a prolonged release in all growth phases, from seedling to harvest. Hydro ActivatorTM works in two ways.  First, it prolongs the life of beneficial microbes by providing an essential source of primary nutrients (NPK) including slowly-released Nitrogen and 40+ minerals.  Its nutritional support includes fish hydrolysates and amino acids (protein).  Secondly, these suspended microbes work in miraculous ways to benefit the health and longevity of crops, from seed germination to harvest.  Specifically, they excrete “secondary metabolites” (enzymes), which help to break down essential yet inaccessible nutrients near plant roots such as large particles of phosphorous. Microbes also increase root biomass by cleaning them, aiding their digestion of nutrients, and enlarging the root system by mobilizing them to absorb much more water.  Most significantly, the proprietary microbial sequence in all MicrobeBio® products, in addition to their unique suspension, has been proven both in-vitro and in-vivo to create a sustainable, life-giving collaboration with root systems to increase their growth and seasonal yields for the duration of the entire crop cycle.

Benefits:

  • Immediately delivers primary nutrients (NPK) and renders them readily accessible for plant roots
  • Furnishes a premium-selected sequential chain of sustainable, life-giving microbes for continuing soil and plant health
  • Stimulates significant bio-mass (root) growth which is essential for plant health and growth
  • Enhances plant BRIX levels (sugars) to enrich the bio-available food source for soil microbes
  • Remediates salinity and heavy metal contamination in soils
  • Improves water retention (by expanding root system) and increases drought tolerance
  • Balances pH in acid or alkaline conditions for optimal nutrient uptake
  • Maintains a C:N Ratio (Carbon & Nitrogen) by activating microbes to release nutrients such as nitrogen, phosphorous and zinc to crops
  • Boosts chlorophyll content in leaves to invigorate the photosynthesis process
  • Acts as a powerful prophylactic by preventing harmful Rhizoctonia and fusarium spores from germinating.

Is comprised of 100% eco-friendly elements, which are non-toxic and are safe to use around children, adults, pets, and livestock

MICROBIOBIO® NATURE FOLIAR

Initial: MB-NF

Nature Foliar™ is one of the most highly advanced microbial bio-stimulants and enzyme formulations available on the market. Its proprietary formulation was specifically engineered by a multi-disciplinary team of scientists to maximize agricultural crop quality and yields. It has been field tested at the root level as a drip and sprinkler irrigation and also as a foliar spray to sustain microbial populations in the root zone and increase nutrient availability via photosynthesis. This biodegradable, organic product has successfully passed a series of genotoxic, toxicological and eco-toxicological studies and is proven to be non-hazardous to humans, plants, and animals if used as directed.

Ultimately, we offer Nature Foliar™ as an organically potent elixir featuring the highest quantity of active bio-stimulants in the world.  By creating an abundant biomass and regulating the soil’s pH between 5.5 and 7.5, Nature Foliar™ significantly increases the nutrient reservoir available for plant absorption, in addition to sustaining the life and growth of active microbial populations. With this ideal pH range, your crops can readily access vital nutrients such as nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, calcium, magnesium, iron, boron, manganese, and sulfur, among others.   Simply put, it is a superior synthesis of soil enzymes which sustain microbial organisms for improving crop vigor, growth stages, yields, quality and tolerance of abiotic stresses.

Benefits:

Maintains consistent results over the crop cycle, reduces metabolic stress, and achieves optimal microbial genetic potential by providing a healthy source of food and energy for soil microbes.

  • Optimizes photosynthesis (light) by expanding chlorophyll content in leaves
  • Increases photosynthesis (water uptake) by increasing microorganisms (microbes) in the soil media
  • Aids photosynthesis by increasing nitrogen (and other nutrients) uptake to aid in photosynthetic CO2 assimilation
  • Sustains an increased level of health-giving microbes over a longer duration of time
  • Promotes seed germination and increases the early vigor of seedlings
  • Integrates enzyme levels for the synthesis of nucleic acids, proteins, vitamins, and sugars
  • Supports stress resistance under adverse environmental conditions
  • Improves the quality and growth of produce
  • Enhances metabolic processes in plants

Ameliorates the uptake and transport of energy and plant nutrients
