Biological Inoculum
|
||||
PROMOT Biological Inoculum is a natural plant growth promoter produced by the fermentation of the ectomycorrhiza, Pisolithus tinctorius. It contains living microorganisms, enzyme complexes and nutrients which are beneficial to plant growth. |

PROMOT Biological Inoculum has the capacity as a microbial seed treatment, to allow the microorganisms in the product to multiply in the soil. As these microorganisms multiply in the soil, they produce growth factors that will stimulate seed germination, plant growth, and flowring. The growth factors produced by the microorganisms will also increase the vigor and health of the plants. The fungi attach to the root and help increase water and ntrient absorption, especially phosphorus. Inoculated plants are less affected by draught conditions and micronutrient deficiences. The physical barrier that is formed helps to prevent disease pathogens from attaching to the roots. As a result, plants have better resistance to disease. |

PROMOT Biological Inoculum can be used
to coat the seeds, or be applied
directly to the seeds at planting.
PROMOT
Biological Inoculum can be mixed with most fertilizers, but the mixtures should not
be stored for a prolonged time. The
microorganisms in PROMOT
Biological Inoculum are in the form of spores which are protected from adverse environments
and will germinate as soon as
the environment becomes favorable. |
||||
PROMOT Biological Inoculum can also be
mixed with potting soil to grow seedlings in the greenhouse. Using PROMOT
Biological Inoculum in the potting soil not only protects seedlings in the greenhouse, but
also has a carry over effect in the field when seedlings are transplanted.
The microorganisms in PROMOT
Biological Inoculum remain in the soil and are transplanted to the field together with the
seedlings. The microorganisms
then continue to multiply in the fields and the plants continue to benefit
from them. This results in
better survival rates, better plant growth, and better disease resistance
after transplanting. |
