Description
Xtreme Gardening Versity 1lb
VERSITY Bacillus Blend is a ready-to-use dry blend of multiple beneficial species of Bacillus bacteria enhanced with kelp and humic acid. This blend is specifically selected to increase the population of beneficial microbes in the root zone while promoting vigorous root growth. These microorganisms are some of the primary agents responsible for breaking down organic material and cycling nutrients. Among the Bacillus strains contained in this blend are species capable of solubilizing phosphorus and potassium.
Natural PK Solubilizer
Versity Bacillus Blend contains six different species of beneficial Bacillus bacteria, designed for use in all plant stages and all types of growing media. With 5.0 billion colony-forming units per gram, this product places a strong focus on microbes that can increase the solubilization of phosphorus and potassium. Maximizing the availability of these key nutrients can create greater fertilizer efficiency while increasing root/plant growth. Versity can increase enzymatic production, nutrient cycling, nitrogen conversion, and ammonia utilization. Whether you are an avid at-home gardener or a dedicated commercial farmer, Versity can promote plant growth in both roots and shoots, with additional increases in yield.
The microorganisms contained in Versity assist in producing enzymes that contribute to the process of breaking down various molecules, carbohydrates, and proteins into more accessible forms plants can then use for energy. Without enzymes, most cell generation and tissue growth would not be possible. VERSITY provides 5.0 billion colony-forming units per gram.
Strengths
VERSITY Bacillus Blend has been shown to increase nutrient availability. This product is highly effective at solubilizing phosphorus (P) and potassium (K), due to increased levels of enzymes naturally produced by the Bacillus bacteria.
Uses
Apply VERSITY solution to the root zone of plants; it can also be used as a foliar spray. This product can be applied weekly through all vegetative and flowering stages.
Compatibility
VERSITY works in all types of growing media and can be used in combination with most fertilizers. Suitable for vegetables, fruits, herbs, and flowers.
