Australian Vermiculture Pro Biologicals can be used in a range of annual crops in broadacre production systems. ProCast Seed Innoculant should be used early to inoculate the root system as it develops through the germination period to aid in stronger root and hence plant health.
This is achieved through the colonisation of microbes that then live in a symbiotic relationship with the plants, one of these key microbes being mycorrhizal fungi. Mycorrhizal Fungi, contained within ProCast Seed Innoculant that, once colonised on the root system, significantly increase levels of Phosphorous uptake while contributing to the greater availability of micronutrients while also aiding in the protection and communication between the plant, the roots and the soil. In leguminous crops, ProCast Seed Innoculant aids in the increased nitrogen fixation to increase the levels of nitrogen that accumulate in the soil.
Following seeding, application of ProGro Liquid Fertiliser at three leaf stage provides crops an organic nutrient supplement. Also acting as a bio-stimulant, supplying phytohormones such as auxins to the plant, and aiding in the protection of plants through excessive stress periods such a heat, frost and during the development of new roots.
Second application ProGro Liquid Fertiliser at late tillering in weak areas as required.
