What is it?
BioSoil is a naturally derived formulation of beneficial bacteria and fungi that strengthens the ecosystem in soils or other growing media supporting trees and woody plants.
Is it necessary?
Absolutely! without a balanced ecosystem, the growing environments compromised, plant roots are less effective at nutrient absorption and cycling, and trees become more susceptible to pathogens, disease and pests.
how does it work?
Woody plants can't directly consume most nutrition bound up in soil, they depend on microbes to process it for them, to make nutrients "bioavailable". woody plants team with microbes to defend themselves against pests and pathogens such as blight, rusts, root rot, and harmful insects, to moderate pH and salinity and to improve water retention and soil aeration. Microbes are essential for optimum health and maximized growth.
will overspray from my fruit trees hurt my garden?
Biosoil is 100% safe to use on all trees and plants. It is naturally sourced from plants, soils and animals.
does it repel pests, like the pecan casebearer?
Biosoil contains bacteria that are unattractive to some insects; however, it is neither an insecticide, pesticide, nor parasiticide. If applied prior to the moths emerging, it will help rid the casebearer larvae.
does it contain mycorrhizae?
Yes, both endomycorrhiza and ectomycorrhiza. these fungi are extremely important for sourcing, retrieving and delivering nutrients to roots.
