Bioflora Supercharges Your Soil Biology

Bioflora’s unique range of soil-based plant stimulants are formulated to enrich your soil’s microbiome. They introduce a diverse range of beneficial microbes that work synergistically to improve soil structure, nutrient availability, and overall plant health.

Trial Results: A Testament to Bioflora’s Effectiveness

The Tolga avocado trial, conducted between December 2023 and May 2024, compared two groups: one treated with Bioflora products (Go Isolates / Fulvex / Iso Green / 5-17-4)   plus the grower’s standard program, and another receiving only the grower’s standard program. The results were truly impressive.

Bioflora Delivers

• Enhanced Soil Health: Bioflora demonstrably improved the soil’s cation and nutrient balance by 5% and 6%, respectively.

• Microbial Magic: Bioflora fostered a more diverse and robust microbial community, leading to an 8% improvement in the carbon-to-nitrogen ratio, a key indicator of soil health. This rich microbial life also suppressed soil pathogens naturally.

• Improved Water Management: Bioflora facilitated a significant reduction in EC (electrical conductivity) and total soluble salts (TSS) by 11%, enhancing water use efficiency.

• Boosted Nutrient Availability: The trial documented an impressive 18% increase in organic carbon, along with a 7% rise in available calcium and a staggering 64% improvement in available phosphorus. Additionally, Bioflora helped convert previously “tied-up” phosphorus (unavailable to plants) into a readily usable form, while also increasing total “tied-up” nitrogen by 12%, preventing it from leaching into the water table.

• Stronger, Healthier Plants: Plant analysis revealed a 25% increase in the number of elements within the optimal range for avocado health. This translates to healthier trees with more vigorous growth and ultimately, increased fruit production.

The Bioflora Advantage: Cost-Effective and Sustainable

The Tolga trial underlines the remarkable potential of Bioflora Go Isolates to significantly enhance avocado crops. With a product cost of around $1,000 per hectare and a minimum 150% return on investment, Bioflora offers a compelling solution for Australian avocado growers seeking to elevate their yields and promote sustainable farming practices. Give it a go – what have you got to lose!
