MIXING BiOWiSH<sup>®</sup> Crop Liquid PRIOR TO USE IS REQUIRED. Prior to every use, ensure the cap is tightly closed and invert the jug five times prior to use. If the full contents of the container are not used in a single application, mix the contents with sanitized equipment prior to each use. Steam clean a … Read more
To ensure success, we have proven our total Aerobic Plate Count (APC) minimum threshold in Colony Forming Units (CFU) along with a sound minimum fertilizer application rate per acre/hectare for BiOWiSH<sup>®</sup> coated fertilizers. The uniformity of coating by species has variability on each granule due to aspects like granule size differences and other factors. Agronomically, … Read more
BiOWiSH<sup>®</sup> Crop Products can be applied as fertilizer enhancements or standalone applications at any point while the crop is actively growing and soil is visible between rows or plants. Applications can be made to bare soil (i.e. fall or pre-planting applications), at planting, or via topdressing during vegetative growth. As long as bare soil is … Read more
BiOWiSH<sup>®</sup> microbes do not fix nitrogen directly from the atmosphere. The Bacillus species in BiOWiSH<sup>®</sup> are not selected for their expression of nitrogen fixing pathways, nor have they been genetically engineered to possess them. However, they do provide nutrient related benefits via a separate process. BiOWiSH<sup>®</sup> endophytic Bacillus deliver soil nutrients to crops through the … Read more
Urease inhibitors are coated onto urea granules to minimize early season nitrogen loss risk associated with ammonia volatilization. While BiOWiSH<sup>®</sup> Crop products are not formulated to have a direct effect on ammonia volatilization, our combination of enhancing beneficial microbes in the rhizosphere and improving soil conditions for increased plant vigor was designed to increase nutrient … Read more
Once applied, BiOWiSH<sup>®</sup> microbes make their way to the root zone (see FAQ) and associate with the roots of their host plant, creating a high-performance partnership between the plant and the beneficial BiOWiSH<sup>®</sup> microbes in the rhizosphere. Because they are strongly associated with the roots of their host-plant associated, BiOWiSH<sup>®</sup> microbes do not wash off … Read more
The functional diversity of the soil microbiome, or the diversity of plant growth promoting genes within the microbial population, plays a major role in driving agricultural success. The functional diversity of a grower’s soil can be impacted by shifting the soil microbiome towards plant-growth-promoting bacteria, or PGPB. Many microbial products attempt to inoculate the grower’s … Read more
BiOWiSH® Bacillus are applied to the soil as dormant endospores, which cannot move on their own. They remain in this condition until they’re exposed to sufficient levels of nutrients, soil moisture, and needed soil temperature to germinate. However, whether they’re still dormant endospores or have germinated into vegetative cells, there are many different mechanisms by … Read more
The Bacillus endospores in BiOWiSH® Crop Liquid settle within a stationary tote over time due to the effects of gravity, leading to a higher concentration of beneficial biology at the bottom of the tote versus the top. This leads to variation in the application rate of our biology throughout the coating run, potentially causing fertilizer … Read more
BiOWiSH HoloGene 3<sup>™</sup> technology supports the expression of natural plant processes evolved to stimulate native, beneficial soil microbes in the root zone. Plants are not prone to stimulate rhizosphere microbial communities that result in negative outcomes for the plant, including disease.
