In Science one gene carries the direction for making one protein and it is these proteins that control the movement of energy and materials throughout the plant during its growth. Proteins such as Chlorophyll, enzymes and hormones are made up of amino acid chains. Among its other duties, the gene carries the list of amino acids that are bonded together to make the protein that it (the gene) represents. There are only about twenty amino acids that are widely recognised, and the gene is very specific in the order and the inclusion of the various elements. To leave any out would result in a dysfunctional protein.

Optimum plant growth is possible only when all the essential elements are adequately supplied and in balance with each other.’ Vigorous plant growth, supported only by an excessive supply of N.P.K (Particularly nitrogen) without the support of other minerals can lead to a depletion of minerals in the soil. If the depleted mineral is needed for the production of a required amino acid, it follows that the protein will not be properly formed. Loosely speaking, this is where a number of the issues, such as shelf life, taste and plant health come from. BioGrow 365 addresses all these issues by unlocking and making available a wide range of elements during application. Worth noting perhaps is that while plants are not directly sensitive the pH of the soil, they are in fact sensitive to the effect of acidity on the availability and form of plant nutrients. In passing, pH is also a significant factor in determining the quantity and diversity of soil organisms. A neutral pH allowing greater diversity in this instance than say a pH of below 6(Acid) Since the biota in BioGrow 365 is one of these soil organisms, a significantly acid soil may inhibit the soil conditioning benefit of the product. In English, underlying issues such as soil pH can greatly affect the performance of any fertiliser. Simple soil testing kits are available at most major hardware’s and are easy to use and inexpensive.

• Biological Nitrogen Fixation: Most nitrogen in the soil is in an organic form that is not readily available for uptake by plants. BioGrow 365 contains nitrifying bacteria which unlocks bound soil nitrogen from the air for the plants use.
• Phosphate Solubilising Bacteria: Phosphate is the limiting factor in all soils. It plays an important role in cell structure and root development. It is also essential in the process of photosynthesis. The Phosphate Solubilizing Bacteria in BioGrow 365 converts bound phosphorus into a plant available form.
• Potassium Solubilising Bacteria: Potassium is responsible for the health and vigor of the plant. The Potassium Solubilising Bacteria in BioGrow 365 will accelerate the growth of your plants and assist with protein synthesis.
• Mobilization and Mineralisation of Available Plant Nutrients: It is not enough that a soil contains an element. What matters is its availability to plants. Mobilizing and mineralising soil nutrients, such as bound phosphate, magnesium, and calcium into a form that is available for plant uptake is a vital role of the micro-organisms found in BioGrow 365.

Foliar fertilisation is fast becoming an essential addition to standard cultivation techniques. For many growers who have grown up with chemicals, it is a small step to organic fertilisation, the NPK is just packaged differently. However, there is another less well known aspect to plant cultivation based on biology rather than chemistry, the realm of the microbes. The microbes digest the nutrients into organic compounds that can be easily taken in by the plant. These same microbes colonise on the surface of the leaves to help fight off disease. Plants like to dine on biologically pre-digested nutrients; it is easier for them to assimilate. Healthy plants have a strong immune system that includes a ‘bio-film’ of microbial life on the roots, stems and leaves. When you foliage apply BioGrow 365 you envelope the plant with living organisms. The results can be astounding; large, mineral rich vegetation with clear glossy leaves, de-creased disease, and even lessen insect attacks. Plants will have higher ‘Brix’ levels, a measure of the carbohydrates and mineral density in the sap. High Brix is said to make plants less attractive to pests and more resilient to stress. Your fruit and vegetables will taste even better. The microbe rich droplets drip off the leaves to improve soil health. Once you see the results, you will never neglect this method of plant care again.

Foliage applications are the perfect solution for correcting nutrient deficiencies, increase resistance to fungus attacks, aid bud formation, promote post-harvest plant recovery and improve sugar development (Brix).
A plants entire requirement for many trace elements can often be supplied with one or two foliar applications of BioGrow 365.
