How it works:
BioStart Digester is powered by signal molecule technology. BioStart Digester contains a combination of enzymes, signal molecules, bacteriocins and secondary metabolites from the fermentation of beneficial soil bacteria including Pseudomonas putida.
These organic compounds activate the soil microbes responsible for decomposition. By speeding up the natural decomposition process, BioStart Digester improves nutrient recycling and soil structure and reduces the opportunity for disease over wintering.
Key features:
- Reduces the opportunity for disease over wintering.
- Speeds up crop residue, pruning and leaf litter decomposition.
- Improves nutrient recycling.
- Improves soil structure.
