Now more and more feeling spring coming and planning what to put in the garden! In parallel, we should also think about the soil, as we often stress the importance of healthy soil. In fact, soil is the key to the development of vigorous plants. 

Most of the soil tests we have carried out show that the condition of both our arable and horticultural soils has deteriorated in recent decades, thanks to intensive farming, where the main focus has been on yield rather than soil health. It has been completely disrupted by soil rotation and the use of fertilisers. The organic matter content of our topsoil is very low and without nutrients, soil life micro-organisms cannot thrive.

What help can we give to plants?

Our recommendations so far mikorrhiza, humus and alga products, we have added a new product to the Danuba Garden range that is also useful for hobby gardeners. 

This is the our latest news from Asco Start Bio Bacteria.  As a micro-granular organic fertiliser of natural origin is a great support in the early stages of our plants' development.

The product can also help in soil improvement, about this here product can also play a significant role in turf planting: in the case of fresh turf planting, a phosphorus predominant product is needed, e.g. Asco Start Bio Bakter. Worth the grass/lawn planting MikoMax Garden-to help you collect from further away if you are short of water or nutrients. If you are interested in the subject, here for our detailed article on lawn care.

How does it work?

The high phosphorus content supports energy-intensive germination. A reveals 3 types of bacteria nutrients, the mycorrhiza supports the growth of the crop with water and nutrients.

Why is Asco Start Bio Bacteria beneficial for the plant?

While natural origin nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium supports the initial development of plants, also provides the micro-organisms that are disappearing from our soils, whose presence helps plants to absorb nutrients.

Priestia megaterium (formerly known as Bacillus megaterium) - allows the plant to absorb bound phosphorus, produces plant growth hormones, stimulating germination and rapid growth. Helps the plant to adapt to different soils.

Streptomyces beta-vulgaris - produces significant amounts of the hormone auxin, stimulating the development of the root system. It stimulates the microbial activity of the soil. It displaces other harmful microorganisms by multiplying. Produces chelating compounds that bind iron in the soil, making it available for uptake by plants but no longer available for use by harmful microorganisms.

Burkholderia sp. - It allows the availability of organic phosphorus in acidic and alkaline soils. Increases the production of the hormone auxin, thus promoting rooting and rapid growth. Produces chelating compounds that bind iron in the soil, making it available for uptake by plants but no longer available for use by harmful microorganisms.

Rhizophagus irregularis - the most common mycorrhizal strain in European soils. It grows into the roots of the plant and feeds it with water and nutrients. It helps to reveal nutrients to the plant that the plant cannot take up by its roots. 

MikoMax Garden x Asco Start Bio Bacteria

We are used to stressing that Mikomax Gardent should not be used in combination with fertiliser, as this creates an unfavourable environment for mycorrhizae. In contrast, the organic nutrients in Asco Start Bio Bacteria can be released with Mikomax Garden because they can work together to help the plants.

Application of Asco Start Bio Bacteria

Best of the product with a measuring spoon put under the roots of the plant, slightly mixed with the soil we can achieve an even better effect.
