Who is BiOWiSH?
BiOWiSH Technologies provides industry-leading biotechnology solutions for the
agriculture and environmental management industries.
We have spent years developing agronomy solutions that work across a broad range of operating conditions such as:
- pH 3.5 to 9.5
- Salinity up to 35,000 ppm (35 ppt)
- Low oxygen content (0.5 ppm), active in water logged conditions
- Active below wilting point
- In oligotrophic (very low nutrient level) conditions
- Effective across a broad range of organic materials
- Optimal performance as temperatures increase, high performance starting at 50°F soil temperature. Varying temperatures will induce dormancy as temperatures fall below the threshold and re-activate as temperatures rise
By improving nutrient availability in the soil, we are able to offer the following benefits for your customers:
- Improves crop yields
- Increases nutrient availability
- Enhances root development
- Improves plant vigor
- Stimulates native microbial activity in the soil
- Improves soil productivity
Increases plant nutrients in the soil
- Converts ammonia into less volatile nitrogen species
- Converts bound phosphorus to available phosphorus
- Produces a number of enzymes that can break down complex organic molecules in soil
Adds beneficial microbes & stimulates native microbial activity
- Promotes growth of beneficial soil microbes
Promotes root development
- Improves hyphal networks
- Enhances root growth
Improves plant vigor
- Demonstrated endophytic activity
- Improves drought tolerance
