BiotaGold Nutrient Pathways

Microbes play a crucial role in agriculture, particularly in relation to fertilizers.    The microbes in BiotaGold were blended with specific nutrient cycling function abilities.

Independent DNA based microbial function testing ranks the products and/or microbes as a percentage, from 1-100% in comparison to the other 25 million organisms in the database.   The top score is listed:

C - CARBON

Carbon serves as the primary component in organic matter.  Microbes ability to release organic matter, decomposing vegetal debris, and releasing nutrients can be measured.

BiotaGold Bacillus Blend – 100%

BiotaGold Trichoderma Blend – 63%

Nitrogen is a major component of plant DNA, proteins, and chlorophyll, playing a fundamental role in crop yield. Microbes have two measurable pathways to release nitrogen:

Inorganic Nitrogen Release – microbes transform organic N into inorganic N

BiotaGold Bacillus Blend – 100%

BiotaGold Trichoderma Blend – 100%

Inorganic Nitrogen Cycle – microbes decompose vegetal debris, releasing valuable N

BiotaGold Bacillus Blend – 88%

BiotaGold Trichoderma Blend – 43%

Phosphorus is a fundamental nutrient required in the regulation of protein synthesis and plant growth. Microbes have two measurable pathways to release phosphorus:

Inorganic P Solubilization – microbes dissolve insoluble P from minerals and rocks into a form that plants can access, improving fertilizer efficiency.

BiotaGold Bacillus Blend – 91%

BiotaGold Trichoderma Blend – 89%

Organic P Assimilation –representing 15% to 80% of the total P in the soil, microbes convert organic P to inorganic forms that is easily uptaken by the plant.

BiotaGold Trichoderma Blend – 99%

Potassium is a regulator of metabolic activities, especially those involved in producing proteins and sugars and regulating crop evapotranspiration. Microbes ability to dissolve insoluble P from minerals and rocks and convert into a form that plants can access can be measured:

BiotaGold Bacillus Blend – 91%

BiotaGold Trichoderma Blend – 89%

Microbes have the measurable ability to solubilize Fe, mobilizing the Fe from the soil into a form the plant can absorb, and into a form other microbes can utilize for nitrogen fixation and other functions

BiotaGold Bacillus Blend – 100%

BiotaGold Trichoderma Blend – 95%

Calcium deficiency is caused by low calcium or low calcium transport.  Microbes have the measurable ability to transport Calcium from the soil into the plant.  Calcium transport can be verified with sap and/or tissue analysis.

BiotaGold Bacillus Blend – 100%

BiotaGold Trichoderma Blend – 92%

Small amounts of Zinc are crucial to plant development, especially in the production of phytohormones.  The ability of microbes to transport Zinc is measurable.   (Medium function levels are optimum)

BiotaGold Trichoderma Blend – 91%

Manganese is essential for photosynthesis, respiration, and nitrogen assimilation.

The ability of microbes to transport Manganese is measurable.

BiotaGold Bacillus Blend – 87%

BiotaGold Trichoderma Blend – 84%

 

Magnesium is the central element in Chlorophyll and plays a vital role in phosphorus transport.  The ability of microbes to transport Magnesium is measurable.
