ORGANIC FERTILIZING MADE EASY WITH NEW Biosol Forte
What Makes Biosol Effective?
A beneficial fungal biomass (mycelium) is obtained by the fermentation of raw materials such as: soybean meal, cottonseed meal, sucrose, lactose, trace elements and vitamins under constant sterile conditions. The fungus strain used is Penicillium Chrysogenum (dry mycelium). A nutrient broth of active ingredients is extracted from that fungal biomass and is mixed with a bacterial biomass (from the manufacturing of various antibiotics, enzymes, proteins, etc.). This broth then undergoes a second fermentation of 20 – 24 hours in which the dissolved nutrients are bound in a bacterial biomass. The biomass is dried at 110 – 130 Degrees Celsius for approximately 4 – 6 hours. Biosol Forte may be used in similar applications as Biosol with the exception of organic farming. Biosol Forte is a fermented plant based organic fertilizer, sterilized and free of weed seeds.
Biosol Forte’s beneficial bacterial biomass and fungal biomass enhances soil health and microbial life. This unique slow release nutrient formulation provides vital plant nutrients throughout the entire growing season due to the fermented organic material. There is an increased effect on the formation of humus, root mass and the living microbial biomass in the soils. Promoting a healthy balance of microbial life ensures long-term plant color and plant health. This results in far lower concentrations of nitrates or phosphorous in ground water than mineral fertilizers. Biosol Forte will not burn seed or vegetation.
Biosol fertilizer is a 7-2-1 organically bound nitrogen fertilizer and soil conditioner which promotes the humus formation and soil fertility due to 70% organic substance. Biosol activates the soil life and regenerates the soil with a long lasting effect. Higher humus values, better rooting and vitalization are specific characteristics of the organic fertilizer. The beneficial bacteria and beneficial fungi of the soil release the nutrients in accordance with the demand of the plants. The plants are perfectly nourished and there is little danger of nitrogen leaching. This unique blend of nutrients enables Biosol to stimulate root development, allowing plants of all kinds to fully absorb essential nutrients for longevity and maximum health.
