Learn What is MIICROBIAL MASS? MIICROBIAL MASS is specially developed to maximize plant yield using multiple bacterial species. It harnesses the latest scientific understanding of rhizospheric microbiology and has been carefully developed to harness the power of beneficial bacteria in the root zone. Part of our research and development process involved extensive field testing in partner gardens across Canada utilizing a wide variety of nutrient programs, substrates, and growing practices in both indoor and outdoor settings This research has allowed us to identify with great precision the application rates necessary to achieve spectacular results in the majority of gardens and growing conditions. Our customers are able to unleash the full potential of their crops without major changes to their growing practices. Our proprietary blend of bacteria promotes a healthy root zone by solubilizing phosphorus and calcium, and assisting with the bioavailability of iron and other fertilization compounds from both organic and inorganic sources. “Our customers are able to unleash the full potential of their crops without major changes to their growing practices.” For decades the hydroponics industry has reinvented itself and raised the bar for results in both indoor and outdoor gardening. Technological improvements in lighting, environmental controls, grow system design, and nutrient programs have revolutionized the way we think about caring for our plants. However, it seems the area in which progress has been slowest to arrive in our industry is in the biological component to plant care. Plants have evolved over millions of years as part of complex ecosystems comprised of diverse communities of organisms. Many of the most important components of these natural ecosystems are the microorganisms which form the foundation of the soil food web. These microbial communities work in mutualistic relationships with plants and are fundamentally important for nutrient cycling, plant immunity, disease suppression, drought tolerance, and overall plant health and productivity in natural ecosystems. Microbiologists and soil ecologists understand that optimal performance cannot be achieved when plants are removed from the microbial life that has supported and protected them for millennia. For this reason, some of the most exciting progress currently underway in the hydroponics industry involves the introduction of beneficial microbes to high-performance cultivation programs. How Does MIICROBIAL MASS Work? Unlike many of the first generation of beneficial microbe products introduced into the market, MIICROBIAL MASS uses a highly targeted approach to inoculate the rhizosphere with a microbial consortium optimized to cycle nutrients in very specific ways. Utilizing the very latest scientific understanding of rhizospheric microbiology, our product development process involved the careful identification of several unique strains of bacteria which work in perfect harmony to perform some of the highly specific nutrient cycling functions required for optimal plant growth and development. The term mode of action describes the functional roles of each member of this bacterial consortium. What is Mode of Action? Mode of action (MoA) describes change at a cellular or molecular level. This transition can be anatomical or functional and always results from exposure to another living organism or any chemical or biological change in the cellular or molecular environment of a living organism. For example, when referencing mode of action in terms of phosphorus solubilization, it refers to a change made to the phosphorus at a molecular level that makes this nutrient more soluble and bioavailable for the plant. Phophorus Solubilisation Phosphorus is vital for a range of plant stages and features, including the early stages of development, tissue stiffness, root growth, fruit formation, inflorescence (flowering), and also resistance to cold and disease. Siderophore Production Iron is also an essential nutrient, and of the microelements necessary for plants to function properly, iron is chief among them. Download Mode of Action Guide MIICROBIAL MASS is Compatible With All Growing Media and All Base Nutrients MIICROBIAL MASS is effective in any growing media and in any conventional or organic nutrient program. It is compatible with soil, supersoil, rock wool, coco coir, expanded clay pellets, deep water culture, nutrient film technique, and other hydroponic systems. SHOP NOW Have more questions?
