Bio-Sustain™

Bio-Sustain™ is a liquid soil conditioner and bio-fertiliser in one easy to use product. This complex bio-stimulant contains beneficial soil microbes that multiply rapidly in the soil. These microbes excreted from the vermicompost (worm castings) help facilitate the uptake of nutrients and trace elements to support healthy growth throughout the plant life cycle. Bio-Sustain builds vital systems in the soil structure making a perfect environment for stronger, healthier, faster growing plants. Bio-Sustain is made from organic vermicompost (worm castings), carbon and natural ingredients. 

When you apply Bio-Sustain the biological health of the soil improves, minerals become more readily available to plants and nutrient uptake is increased. Nitrogen utilisation volatilisation (gaseous escape) is greatly reduced, and leaching (run off and seepage into the water table) is almost eliminated. Making the soil ecosystem healthy relieves stress on plants of all types, and allows them to utilise their own immune systems to ward off predatory pests and disease.

Increasing the biological content of a soils’ ecosystem makes the soil more permeable, allowing the soil to absorb more water and healthy populations of microorganisms metabolise fertilisers and nutrients that have lain unused in the fields for years, making these nutrients available to plants growing today.

When bacteria digest and metabolise fertilisers in the field, fertiliser is kept out of our water resources and is delivered where it belongs, to the plant. Less residual chemical fertiliser in the soil means fewer toxins reaching our water resources.

Making the soil ecosystem healthy relieves stress on plants of all types, and allows them to utilise their own immune systems to ward off predatory herbs (weeds) and pests (insects), resulting in reduced herbicide and pesticide input requirements — and costs.

Why should you use Bio-Sustain on your crops?
Unfortunately today many soils are grossly out of balance and are devoid of beneficial microbial populations. This is primarily due to an over reliance on pesticides and inorganic fertilizsers as both adversely affect the delicate microbial balance found in healthy soil profiles. Bio-Sustain was specifically formulated to re-establish these beneficial microbial populations and provide the soil with the necessary components to promote vigorous plant growth.

Why do we recommend repeated treatments?
At certain times of the year the soil supporting plants requires greater biological activity in order to grow healthy plants. This includes the establishment phase, flowering phase, plant stress and when the environment conditions favour disease (warmth, dampness, high humidity). It is always advisable to increase biological activity with an extra shot of beneficial organisms.
