Miicrobial Mass

Miicrobial Mass is an exciting product! It harnesses the power of bacteria to transform both inorganic and organic phosphate to make them more bioavailable so the plant can absorb this much-needed nutrient. These bacteria release the inorganic phosphorus that is complexed to other minerals by producing organic acids, which decrease the pH locally, thus solubilizing the inorganic phosphorus making it available in a form that the plant can absorb. In the case of organic phosphorus that has been immobilized, certain bacterial strains have the power to produce phytase enzyme, which also convert the phosphorus into a bioavailable form ready for plant absorption. MIICROBIAL MASS features two bacterial strains that have the capacity to produce phytase and organic acids to ensure solubilization of both organic and inorganic phosphorus. This product therefore allows the plant to absorb phosphorus, an essential nutrient, for better health and growth throughout multiple stages of its development.
Microbial Mass doesn’t only focus on macro-elements. Iron is also an essential nutrient, and of the microelements necessary for plants to function properly, iron is chief among them. Iron is essential for plant health and growth as it is largely responsible for the production of chlorophyll, and is also heavily involved in oxygen transport throughout the plant, DNA stability and repair, certain intermediate metabolisms, and cellular respiration. Even though iron is extremely common (it is the fourth most abundant element on Earth), plants can struggle to absorb this nutrient as it occurs naturally in soil. Usually, iron occurs as a form of ferric ion (Fe3+), which is difficult for a plant to assimilate. Again, certain bacteria have been found to be hugely beneficial in resolving this iron absorption issue for plants. These bacteria have developed the ability to create molecules called siderophores, which are capable of binding to Fe3+ ions, and in turn are able to be absorbed by the plant. MIICROBIAL MASS features siderophore-producing bacteria that promote improved iron absorption for better plant health and development.
