Biotabs Bactrex

Product detailed description

Bactrex is a powdered soil improver which will make your plants grow healthily, take up more nutrients and prosper. It also acts as fungal and bacterial disease prevention. Bactrex is ideal for preparing the soil for young plants or giving an extra boost to an established crop.

Benefits of using Bactrex:

• Improves soil quality - the substrate is cleaner and holds more water
• Releases nutrients which would otherwise remain unavailable
• Supplies nutrients directly to the roots
• Cleans the substrate and removes old roots to make space for new ones
• Prevents diseases and infections
• Improves water retention
• Supports the development of extensive root systems
• Improves nutrient uptake, health and yields

How does it work?

Bactrex contains bacteria, which release the nutrients (mainly P, K and Ca) from dead plant matter and make them available to the plants.

The bacteria (bacillus spp. and actinomycetes) also supply nitrogen directly to the root zone. Removing waste also leaves less food for pathogenic bacteria, harmful to the plants.

Bactrex contains mycorrhizal fungi (Trichoderma), which provide water-dissolved minerals directly to the roots. Adding Trichoderma to the soil prevents fungal diseases and infections.

The bacteria are "contained" in a water-soluble yucca extract with organic catalysts, which help the colony spread and multiply faster.

Use and dosage:

Cuttings and seedlings:
- add 1 gram per 1 litre of water (1 gram = 1 level teaspoon)
- use the solution to water the plants
- wet the surface layer of the potting soil completely 

Established plants:
- add 1 gram per 1 litre of water (1 gram = 1 level teaspoon)
- use the solution to water the plants
- use every two weeks

Please note that Bactrex is a living product. Once dissolved in water, the solution has to be applied within 6 hours.
Be careful not to use too much Bactrex.
