Biological Active Ingredients Working together to enhance plant performance, quality and yield

In agriculture and horticulture, biological active ingredients refer to living microorganisms, such as bacteria or fungi, that enhance plant growth, reduce plant pathogens that can cause plant disease or reduce insect populations. 

At Premier Tech, we are studying these biologicals and selecting the ones that deliver superior performance for growers. We produce and commercialize endomycorrhizal fungi and bacteria including Bacillus and Rhizobium. Additionally, we recently added Serendipita, another fungus species, to our portfolio. These biologicals are integrated into various product categories, such as growing media and inoculants, to provide our customers with distinctive value-added products.

Soils naturally contain biologicals, but their quantity and efficacy vary depending on various factors such as soil composition, humidity and cultural practices. Adding microorganisms, molecules or extracts to the soils aims to give plants a favorable environment for their growth. In time, the intensive use of soils can decrease the number of microorganisms naturally present. It is also true for growing media which generally contain no microorganisms.
