Program Products
- Soil Revive (complex bio-stimulant package) 7 oz. dry
- BioMate (simple bio-stimulant plus N-fixing bacteria) 6 oz. liquid
- Lift-Off (plant growth hormones) 5 oz. liquid
Goals:
To look at how effective biostimulants are alone, without the added live biological products.
Results:
When removing the live biological products, yield results were diminished. Plot One showed a gain of 5 bu/ac and Plot Two showed a gain of 6 bu/ac. This led us to conclude that it is, in fact, the live biological products alongside the biostimulants that work together to jump-start the relationship between soil biology and plant health.
Treatment 2: Plants in rapid vegetative growth stage, plant on left untreated. Right side treated with Bio AG E.
