BiOWiSH® microbes do not fix nitrogen directly from the atmosphere. The Bacillus species in BiOWiSH® are not selected for their expression of nitrogen fixing pathways, nor have they been genetically engineered to possess them. However, they do provide nutrient related benefits via a separate process. BiOWiSH® endophytic Bacillus deliver soil nutrients to crops through the rhizophagy cycle creating a symbiotic relationship between the plant and soil microbes.
Rather than inoculating the grower’s soil with non-symbiotic bacteria (which offers a lower success rate of establishment), our unique product development process and mode of action enhances beneficial microbes in the rhizosphere. Our technology increases nutrient use efficiency and supports nutrient uptake, resulting in unparalleled performance. All of this, combined with our industry-leading shelf life and fertilizer compatibility, helps farmers achieve consistent results across a broad range of operating conditions, climates, and environments.
