BioSoil

What is it?

BioSoil is a naturally derived formulation of beneficial bacteria and fungi, designed to replenish and balance the ecosystem in soils, hydroponics, aeroponics and aquaponic environments.  It is 100% organic, derived from soils, plants, and animals.

Is it necessary?

Absolutely!  Without a balanced ecosystem, the growing environment is compromised, plant roots are less effective at nutrient absorption and cycling, and trees become more susceptible to pathogens, disease and pests.

How does it work?

Woody plants can't directly consume most nutrition bound up in soil; they depend on microbes to process it for them, to make the nutrients "bioavailable."  Woody plants team with microbes to defend themselves against pests and pathogens such as blight, rusts, root rot, and harmful insects, to moderate pH, and salinity to improve water retention and soil aeration.

Does it repel pests, like the pecan casebearer?

BioSoil contains bacteria that are unattractive to some insects, however, it is neither an insecticide, pesticide nor parasiticide.  If applied prior to the moths emerging, it will help rid of the case bearer larvae.
