Consumers of agricultural products are increasingly paying attention to their environmental friendliness. Producers also want to look people straight in the eye and not compromise their conscience by growing harmful grains, oil crops, medicinal and fodder herbs, fruits and vegetables. Fertilizer based on fermented extract from crops with a high sugar content - BioGrow, solves the problem of safe plant nutrition.
Composition and form of fertilizer release
Liquid fertilizer BioGrow by Biobizz is produced from waste from the processing of sugar beets and sugar cane. After the sugar is extracted from them by fermentation, what remains is the so-called malt grounds. It contains natural sugars, enzymes, and organic compounds.
After enriching this substrate with vitamins and microelements, the liquid becomes a unique natural fertilizer. The fertilizer is packaged in plastic bottles with a capacity of 250 ml, 500 ml and 1 l, canisters of 5, 10 and 20 l.
How does the product work?
The substance left over from sugar production feeds soil bacteria, which increase soil fertility. The enzymes contained in BioGrow convert organic matter (proteins and other complex compounds) into forms available for consumption by the plant. Water-soluble vitamins B1, B2, C are absorbed directly by the crop. Vitamin E is consumed by beneficial microorganisms. The number of flowers and ovaries of crops grown in such an environment increases. Plants become more resistant to diseases and pests.
Scope of use
Thanks to the BioGrow additive, indoor and outdoor flowers, ornamental and fruit shrubs, trees, and vegetables grow better. A wide range of packaging makes it possible to use the fertilizer both on an industrial scale and to maintain soil in a fertile state in small gardens. Tests of the product in open ground, in greenhouses, under hydroponics and aeroponics conditions showed excellent results.
Mode of application
Methods for applying BioGrow fertilizer vary. For comparison, you can try each of them in different areas. BioGrow:
- apply evenly over the entire area of the site, before plowing and cultivation;
- during sowing, pour directly into holes and grooves;
- poured under the roots of plants;
- used for spraying ground parts;
- simultaneously administered both through the root system and through the foliage;
- used for soaking seeds before sowing.
The use of a biological product is more effective in a warm substrate. Foliar feeding allows you to feed crops at later stages of development, when their foliage and stems fill the entire ridge, making it impossible to apply solid fertilizers. It is useful to add microelements to BioGrow, the lack of which has affected the condition of the plant.
From the beginning of the second week after the emergence of any crop until the end of its life, it is fed with a mixture of 1 ml of Bio-Grow and 1 liter of water every 7 days. If the condition of the plants is unsatisfactory, watering with fertilizer is carried out several times a week (from 3 to 5). After bringing the object of care back to normal, they return to the normal schedule.
Using the example of a room culture, the manufacturer shows how to calculate the required amount of working fluid. For the volume of soil in a 10-liter pot, 2-3 liters of water mixed with Biobizz products is enough. The company recommends thoughtfully adding to BioGrow fertilizer its other preparations containing sets of specific micro- and macroelements.
After mixing nutritious biomass with water, its shelf life is reduced to several hours. At this concentration, putrefactive and other microorganisms begin to corrode organic matter. Therefore, the next day you cannot leave the working fluid even in the refrigerator. The tank mixture is prepared for only one sprayer refill.
Safety in use
When using BioGrow fertilizer, nitrates and nitrites do not accumulate in fruits and other edible parts. A biological product can only contain those heavy metals that were in sugar beets or cane.Biobizz works only with trusted suppliers. BioGrow meets all standards set for agricultural producers.
Are there any disadvantages
The disadvantage of biofertilizer is its short storage period, especially if it cannot be maintained at low temperatures.
Storage periods and rules
In sealed original packaging, until it is opened, BioGrow fertilizer retains all its properties for 2 years. Store the product at a temperature from 0 °C to 12 °C. BioGrow cannot be exposed to direct sunlight, even if it passes through glass. Even such physical characteristics of the liquid as color and degree of transparency will change. After opening the factory branded bottles or canisters, the product is kept at a temperature of 0-6 °C. Possible storage in the refrigerator. When using BioGrow after removing it from a cellar or other dark and cold place, it is recommended to keep it in water at a temperature of 25-30 °C.
If stored correctly, after opening the fertilizer is suitable for use for another six months. The enzymes included in its composition significantly extend the life of biomass. BioGrow will not ignite or explode during storage, even in the event of a fire. The product must be inaccessible to children.
