Biomex Starter is a natural product containing spores of Bacillus amyloliquefaciens, a non-pathogenic micro-organism occuring naturally in the soil. The formulation is a water based liquid containing the living spores.
Biomex Starter is used to stimulate the growth of roots through colonisation of the plant roots, which increases plant tolerance to abiotic stress.
Agriculture – Biomex Starter is suitable for potato seed dressing or mixing with soil. For best results apply as a seed coating. Efficacy will be optimised when soil temperatures exceed 10°C.
Horticulture – Biomex Starter is suitable as a root dip on modules, root drench on many crops and used in fertigation on soft fruit, tree fruit to aid establishment
Agriculture – Biomex Starter works by colonising the roots of the growing plant with the beneficial bacteria Bacillus amyloliquefaciens. It secretes compounds in the vicinity of the root hairs that help to increase availability and uptake of nutrients, resulting in improved germination, improved rooting and increased plant vigour, leading to earlier bulking.
The benefits of Biomex Starter are likely be greatest in soils with a low organic matter content or naturally low microbial activity, because of the lower levels of Bacillus already present in the soil.
