Benefits

  • IMPROVES PLANT IMMUNITY

    Enhances the plant’s immune system, helping it to better tolerate disease-causing pathogens. Should be applied preventively at seeding or transplant for best results.

  • REDUCES ABIOTIC STRESS

    Production of the sugar trehalose helps the plant to better withstand heat, drought and salt stress. The trehalose acts by stabilizing plant cell walls and acting as an osmoprotectant.

  • PREDICTABLE IPM CADENCE

    Increases resilience and supports a consistent IPM schedule by reducing unexpected disease outbreaks and stress-related issues. This allows for more predictable and practical application of other crop protection strategies and the reduction of chemical pesticide application.

Endophytes and Greenhouses

Why Endophytic Bacteria?

Our inoculant products are all endophytic bacteria with yield-enhancing properties, each with distinct mechanisms.

Because they are endophytes, they colonize the plant and are taken up into the plant tissue. This intimate relationship with the plant allows for more efficient delivery of benefits and sustained activity throughout the growing season.

FAQ

Can I apply these through my existing setup (drip, ebb & flow, or boom)?

Yes. Keep the product gently agitated, deliver to the root zone, and purge/rinse lines per your normal SOPs. For booms or benches, use your standard pass volume; for drip, run long enough to reach the root zone. Our specialists will guide you through the process.

How should I sequence with fertilizers, sanitizers, and crop-protection?

Keep it simple: run applications within your existing fertigation/irrigation program and IPM rotation.

Our specialists will set timing and tank-side steps so En-Stim™, En-Guard™, and En-Fix™ align with your climate strategy, sanitation, and compatibility constraints for your operation. We’ll design the sequence to protect plant balances and stay compatible with your procedures.

How should I store, handle, and use PPE?

Keep containers sealed, away from heat and direct sun. Use by the expiration date on the label. Wear gloves (and eye protection per your facility SOPs). If product contacts skin or eyes, rinse with water. These products are microbial inoculants; follow label guidance and your workplace safety policies.

Are these suitable for organic programs and compatible with beneficials?

Yes, our products are positioned to support organic production (see ECOCERT details) and are commonly used alongside beneficial insects/mites. Always follow your IPM advisor’s timing/placement guidance.

What should I monitor after applications?

Track the same KPIs you already use: canopy uniformity, leaf color/SPAD, growth rate vs. schedule, and grade/yield at harvest. Use controls, consistent photo points, and quick bench scans to make comparisons easy.
