Who is BiOWiSH?

BiOWiSH Technologies provides industry-leading biotechnology solutions for the
agriculture and 
environmental management industries. 

We have spent years developing agronomy solutions that work across a broad range of operating conditions such as:

  • pH 3.5 to 9.5
  • Salinity up to 35,000 ppm (35 ppt)
  • Low oxygen content (0.5 ppm), active in water logged conditions
  • Active below wilting point
  • In oligotrophic (very low nutrient level) conditions
  • Effective across a broad range of organic materials
  • Optimal performance as temperatures increase, high performance starting at 50°F soil temperature. Varying temperatures will induce dormancy as temperatures fall below the threshold and re-activate as temperatures rise

Helena Case Studies

Corn Silage

The plots treated with Helena Powered by BiOWiSH® outperformed competitive fertilizers and the base fertilizer. 

Tomatoes

Tomatoes treated with BiOWiSH® achieved increased Brix levels, improved levels of nitrogen, and increased yield as high as 15% for some treatments.

Rice

The Helena Powered by BiOWiSH® treated plot increased yield per acre by 36%, increased profitability by $742 per acre, and maintained key nutrient levels in the rice.

Wheat

Plots treated with BiOWiSH coated urea achieved as much as 7% higher yield. Additionally, the BiOWiSH maintained the soil NPK content and grain protein percentage, which measured at 10% for all treatments.
