Enhancing your crop performance with soil stimulants

Soil stimulants are substances that are added to the soil to promote plant growth and yield. They can be used to improve crop performance in a variety of ways, including increasing the amount of water and nutrients that plants can absorb from the soil and promoting root development, which leads to increased plant growth and yield. Soil stimulants can also help to reduce plant stress, making plants more resistant to pests and diseases.

BioFlora understands how to best utilise Mother Nature’s resources to improve plant and soil health; we have a number of products that help with soil health and root growth.

Go Isolates® 

Go Isolates® is a powerful and effective soil inoculant formulated organically using our patented isolate technology. The microbially activated carbon complexes in GO Isolates® contain over 1,500 naturally occurring beneficial microorganisms, which have a positive impact on soil biology. GO Isolates® also provides carbon to indigenous soil microbes. Adding GO Isolates® to the soil increases not only the concentration of microbes but also the diversity of beneficial microbes, which has long-term soil health benefits. It improves water infiltration and aeration for root proliferation by building soil crumb structure and texture in any soil type. Enzymes are secreted by these beneficial microorganisms to break down organic matter and mineralise nutrients for increased bioavailability.

Bacillus amyloliquefaciens and Bacillus subtilis are abundant in Go Isolates. Bacillus amyloliquefaciens produces antibiotics and strengthens the plant’s resistance to abiotic and biotic environmental stressors. Bacillus subtilis stimulates a whole-plant resistance response, which allows plants to better adapt to environmental stresses. This unique combination of beneficial bacteria, combined with naturally occurring beneficial microorganisms found in the rich carbon complexes in GO Isolates®, stimulates soil biological activity, increases water holding capacity, promotes root growth, increases plant nutrient bioavailability, and improves plant defence mechanisms. All of this contributes to the formation of pathogen-suppressive soils as well as the buffering of salts in the soil.

IsoGreen®

Bioflora also has IsoGreen®, which improves plant growth, quality and yield by increasing nutrient and sugar translocation in the plant. IsoGreen®, suspended in an organic-acid base, activates existing microbial communities and increases microorganism diversity, improving the soil’s cation exchange capacity (CEC) rating and N-P-K holding capacity while effectively increasing carbon content.

IsoGreen’s diversity of 1760 identified microorganisms improves the soil’s ability to support stronger root development, hold and release nutrients for plant growth, and naturally suppress pathogens and diseases. IsoGreen® truly maximises plant growth and stress tolerance by building and improving soils, stimulating growth signals and unlocking genetic potential. IsoGreen is effective in restoring soils that have been harmed by the continued use of chemical fertilisers. When both Bioflora Go Isolates® and Bioflora IsoGreen are used, yields increase, quality improves and soil microbe numbers increase.

BioFlora provides a variety of organic natural products to help you treat your crops the way Mother Nature intended. Soil stimulants are one of the most important, and effective, ways to improve plant growth. The team of experts at BioFlora® will be happy to help you apply our range of proven products to your specific situation for maximum benefit. Our goal is to provide all Aussie growers with sustainable and organic solutions that transform both soil and plant health. You can contact us at i or by calling 0413 839 878.
