Colony® Complete | Advanced Soil Probiotics
Product Overview:
COLONY® NORTH is a microbial package that includes biology whose primary purpose is to solubilize nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium and calcium as well as increase chitinolytic and cellulolytic activity.
Product: Benefits
Increases nutrient availability allowing for reduction in fertilizer usage.
Creates a natural reduction of thatch through organic matter breakdown.
Degradation of toxic substances by taking pollutants out of the air, through digestion, as well as removing them from the soil.
Increases good soil micro-organisms allowing for better plant development and prevention of plant disease.
Formation of soil aggregates as bacteria produces cellulose which helps to accumulate Organic Matter. A 1% increase in Organic Matter increases the soils watering holding capacity by 25,000 gallons per acre.
Beneficial Bacteria communicate with the plant and trigger enzyme releases that tell the plant to develop roots, absorb nutrients that they are lacking, and prepare for a fungus trying to invade.
Increases the rigidity and structure of cell walls which provides added drought tolerance as well as disease tolerance.
Works to detach the Carbon molecule from Carbon Dioxide (CO2) made in the soil and begins the linkage of carbon atoms.
Effectively captures Carbon atoms released from reactions in the soil to form weak organic acids.
