Home Grown, Naturally and Sustainably

 

Are you thinking about becoming a green thumb but feel a little overwhelmed by the process? Maybe you already have a garden, but you just aren’t seeing the results you’d like? We know that happy, healthy plants start from the ground up, which is why we are excited to introduce our Home and Garden line

Offering the same benefits as our commercial products, AgriGro Home products are specifically designed to enhance what nature has already provided.  

Finally — products that work with nature for everything you grow and are safe for your home, pets, and family!

How Our Home Products Work

With all the products on the market for home and garden use, it can be confusing to understand something as simple as growing herbs in a container. Unfortunately, our confusion often leads to more effort. While it might seem complicated, it’s really not when you work in harmony with nature. 

Working with nature simplifies things and it comes down to understanding the importance of beneficial microbial activity in the soil, on the plant, and the huge benefits that come from this thriving microbial life.  

Ok, now maybe I lost you…if that sounds complicated, hear me out. 🙂

Through nearly 40 years in the industry, AgriGro has learned that by supporting the delicate relationship between the life in the soil and the plants, we’ll make our job much less complicated. 

Nature provided these tiny living microbes that are always actively working in the soil and on the plant surface. They play several roles in ensuring the health of your plants, such as supplying the essential nutrients, growth regulators, antibiotics, enzymes, and amino acids. They also help break down fertilizers and release nutrients that are already in the soil to make them readily available for your plants. All of which are needed to grow strong, healthy plants that produce plenty of fruits and vegetables to bring to your dinner table.

Sometimes, from all the confusion of trying to offset this or that, or artificially boost growth, we wind up depleting the number of beneficial microbes and lowering the plant’s natural abilities and defense systems — that’s when it gets complicated again. These efforts are not sustainable and are likely doing more harm than good. 

Our all-natural prebiotic formulation, however, works to significantly increase these beneficial microbes…up to 5000%! Containing various biomolecules that not only feed the microbes, increasing their performance, but also serving to regulate various functions in the plant for improved health. We’re adding life, supporting what nature has already provided. 

The healthier the plant and the soil, the fewer worries gardeners have about pests and disease. To sum it up, when these microbes are on the job we can enjoy the process and a bountiful harvest with less effort. 

There you have it – working with nature by adding life makes it much less complicated.

Prebiotic Nutrition for Increased Crop Production and Profits

 

As a grower, you understand the critical connection between the health of your soil and the quality of your crop production. Throughout the years, numerous probiotic soil treatments have been incorporated into the agricultural marketplace in order to increase plant strength, enhance growth rates, and help crops be more resistant to disease. While probiotics may be an effective means of enhancing plant nutrition, they are not without their shortcomings.

If you are searching for a natural way to decrease inputs while increasing your crop yields and profits, AgriGro® has a solution for you. We offer several prebiotic products that can help you achieve your production goals while enhancing soil health and increasing crop production. Let’s take a look at what makes our prebiotic formulations so effective.

Probiotics vs. Prebiotics for Crops

To understand the fundamental difference between probiotics and prebiotics, we must review the makeup of each treatment.

Probiotics

Probiotic formulations rely on live microbial strains to provide the majority of crop production benefits. Many of the numerous probiotic products available on the market today are not well suited for commercial agriculture applications. Probiotics are somewhat unstable because they contain live microorganisms. Additionally, they:

  • Only contain one to four strains of effective microorganisms
  • Have a very short shelf life
  • Are difficult to mix with fertilizers, pesticides, and other inputs
  • Don’t feed native microbial populations in soil

Although probiotic treatments have become common in agricultural production in recent years, it is difficult to determine exactly the benefit they provide. For example, the Oregon Department of Agriculture evaluated 20 probiotic products in 2015. All of these products were well within their label-displayed expiration date, and all claimed to contain four commonly guaranteed bacterial strains: Bacillus, Glomus, Pseudomonas, and Trichoderma.

The evaluation detected no live bacteria in at least one or more of the bacterial strains that the manufacturer claimed on the label. What’s more, only 25 percent of the products tested actually met its guaranteed label analysis. This information can be difficult to process, especially for growers who invest their hard-earned money on potentially unreliable products.

Prebiotics

Here is where AgriGro can help your agricultural operations: unlike probiotic products that contain live bacteria, our exclusive formulations delivers an advanced prebiotic concentrate that contains no live bacteria. These innovative prebiotic formulations contain more than 400 different biomolecules that are naturally produced, making them some of the most complex in the industry today. Our prebiotic formulations have many advantages over probiotic formulations because they are:

  • Stable. Our prebiotics have a long shelf life — four years or longer — because they do not contain live bacteria.
  • Versatile and convenient. Our prebiotic products can be applied with fertilizers, herbicides, and pesticides without concern.
  • Environmentally beneficial. Prebiotics in our products significantly increase the thousands of beneficial native microbial species already residing in the soil.
