IRON + MICROBIAL BLEND FOR ROOT DEVELOPMENT
Bio Iron
A concentrated combination of iron humate and beneficial soil microbes designed to promote vigorous root growth and improve nutrient uptake. This powerful biological-mineral formula enhances iron availability at the root zone, helping plants maintain greener foliage and stronger structures. When used alongside standard fertilizer programs, Bio Iron boosts soil biology and maximizes plant performance without the need for harsh synthetic additives.
AVAILABLE IN THE FOLLOWING SIZES
- 16 oz bag (12/case)
- 50 lbs bag (40/pallet)
Mix 3–7 lbs of Bio Iron per cubic yard of media. Use 5 lbs for standard crops. Adjust for trees or high-demand plants.
Apply ½–1 tbsp per 4” pot or 5–10 lbs per 1,000 sq ft. Use 1 oz per 1” trunk caliper for trees. Water in lightly.
Apply 5 to 10 pounds per 1,000 square feet for turf, or 5 to 10 pounds per acre in agricultural systems. For general turf maintenance, reapply every 4 to 12 weeks. For best results, apply as near to the plant’s root system as possible and water in after spreading.
POWERFUL BENEFICIAL MICROBE FOR PLANT VIGOR & YIELD
Colossus
A high concentration of the beneficial plant microorganism Streptomyces nigrescens strain MR541. This unique microbe colonizes both plant roots and foliage, producing beneficial enzymes and secondary metabolites that improve nutrient availability and support stronger root development, plant vigor, growth, and yield. Colossus also produces siderophores that help unlock iron and other essential micronutrients that may otherwise remain unavailable in the soil.
AVAILABLE IN THE FOLLOWING SIZES
- 2 oz sachett (12/case)
- 16 oz bag (12/case)
- 20 lbs pail (4/case)
Catalog recommendation: use 3-6 oz of Colossus per acre. Apply in-furrow directly on the seed piece at planting. Follow-up applications can be made through irrigation or as a soil application just before a rain event. Apply at planting and up to two more times during the growing season.
Consult the product label for crop-specific initial and follow-up rates.
Catalog recommendation: use 3-9 oz of Colossus per acre per foliar spray. For outdoor foliar applications, the product label specifies 10-150 gallons of water per acre. Consult the label for application-specific directions.
Solubilizes phosphorus to enhance yield
MegaPhos SP
A high concentration of a select bacterial strain that aids in transformation of soil phosphorus into an assumable form for plants. The active ingredient in MegaPhos SP, Bacillus megaterium HM87, produces enzymes and other secondary metabolites that solubilize and mineralize normally unavailable phosphorous.
AVAILABLE IN THE FOLLOWING SIZES
- 2 oz sachett (12/case)
- 16 oz bag (12/case)
- 12.5 lbs pail (4/case)
Outdoor agriculture: use 1-6 oz of MegaPhos SP per acre. Apply to the soil as a drench, through irrigation, at transplant, or by other means that move the product to the root system. Reapply every 1-8 weeks.
Greenhouse/nursery: dissolve 1-6 oz per 100 gallons of water and drench until growing media is saturated without runoff.
Use 1-6 ounces per acre.
Dissolve in appropriate amount of water and apply
as a foliar spray to plants leaves until wet to run off.
Reapply every 7-28 days.
Hydroponic systems: use 1-6 oz of MegaPhos SP per 100 gallons of tank water. Dissolve into the reservoir before, with, or after adding nutrients. Reapply each time reservoir water is changed.
For residential use or smaller reservoirs, use 1/2-2 teaspoons per gallon of reservoir water, as specified on the label.
Nitrogen Fixing Microbe for plant growth
Nitryx SP
A high concentration of proprietary beneficial bacteria on a 100% water soluble powder. This powerful new microbial product effectively draws nitrogen from the atmosphere and converts it to a form usable to the plant, thereby making conventional fertilizer utilization much more efficient. In fact, when used in combination with fertilizers, researchers have seen Nitryx SP reduce the need for traditional chemical fertilizers.
AVAILABLE IN THE FOLLOWING SIZES
- 4 oz sachett (12/case)
- 16 oz bag (12/case)
- 20 lbs pail (4/case)
Use 2-12 oz of Nitryx per acre. Apply in the greenhouse, during transplant or through precision irrigation. Reapply every 1-8 weeks.
Use 1/2-1 ounce per 10,000 sq ft. Dissolve in water and spray plants until wet to run
off. Reapply every 2-12 weeks
Use 2-12 oz per 100 gallons
of tank water. Dissolve into reservoir before, with
or after adding nutrients. Reapply Nitryx SP each
time reservoir water is changed.
highly effective biological insecticide
NoFly WP
A highly effective biological insecticide. It is a concentration of the active ingredient Isaria fumosoroseus strain FE 9901, a naturally occurring insecticidal microorganism. This aggressive fungus is a natural predator to select insect pests while non-pathogenic to benefcials. NoFly WP is also compatible with many chemicals making it an excellent tool for use in an Integrated Pest Management program.
AVAILABLE IN THE FOLLOWING SIZES
- 8 oz sachett (12/case)

revolutionary product that contains chitosan
WarHammer
A natural polysaccharide derived from the deacetylation of chitin. When applied to soil or plant tissues, WarHammer's chitosan content stimulates seed germination and root growth, promotes fruiting and flowering, and acts as a natural fungicide for healthy plants. Its ability to improve soil structure, fertility, and water retention capacity makes it an excellent tool for improving crop yields while reducing the need for chemical pesticides and fertilizers.
