Beneficial Bacteria Support Soil, Plant Health

Beneficial Bacteria Support Soil Health

Biological products are beginning to gain traction in production agriculture. Since 2008/2009, we at Big- Yield.us have studied and offered biologicals that can manage production factors that influence yield potential. Our BigBioYield product combines eight beneficial bacteria into a single product. Derived from naturally occurring microorganisms, these specially selected bacteria support or produce enzymes and phytohormones that facilitate soil and …
