In the world of agriculture, every advantage counts. Maximising crop yield and uniformity while conserving resources and promoting sustainability is the holy grail for farmers worldwide.
In this pursuit, two innovative products, OmniRHR® and Bacstim® Seed, have emerged as a dynamic duo that can revolutionise your farming practices and yield remarkable results.
OmniRHR® offers a multitude of benefits that significantly improve crop germination and root hydration. Its key advantages include:
- Enhanced germination: In non-wetting soils, OmniRHR® ensures improved and more even germination. This is particularly crucial for challenging soil conditions, where achieving consistent germination can be difficult.
- Optimal root hydration: OmniRHR® excels at enhancing root hydration and moisture retention in the seed bed across all soil types. It creates a "wetting bulb" zone around the seed, allowing for better moisture absorption and germination, even in dry starts.
- Microbial and soil benefits: OmniRHR® contains stimulation of humates, which enhances both microbial and physical soil benefits. This improves soil health and fertility, contributing to the long-term sustainability of your land.
- Nutrient availability: The product improves nutrient availability and retention in the root zone, ensuring that your crops have access to essential nutrients for growth and
- Root system growth: Significant levels of humic acid and kelp extract in OmniRHR® promote better root system growth, which is essential for crop establishment. This is particularly beneficial for crops like lupins and canola that often struggle with even establishment.
The application of OmniRHR® as a liquid in furrow injection at seeding allows it to capture and distribute available moisture efficiently, even through multiple wet/dry cycles. This ensures that your crops receive the moisture they need to thrive, regardless of weather conditions.
Bacstim® Seed complements OmniRHR® beautifully by harnessing the power of beneficial bacteria. These bacteria play a crucial role in promoting root growth and overall crop health. Key benefits of Bacstim® Seed include:
- Phytohormone production: Bacstim® Seed's five strains of Bacillus species produce phytohormones that stimulate root growth. This promotes a robust and healthy root system, essential for nutrient absorption and stress resistance.
- Nutrient uptake: These bacteria also improve nutrient mineralization and uptake within the root zone, with a particular focus on enhancing phosphorous uptake—a critical nutrient for crop development.
- Stress resistance: Bacstim® Seed enhances stress resistance in crops, making them more resilient to adverse conditions and ultimately increasing their chances of thriving.
- Yield enhancement: By promoting crop biomass and yield, Bacstim® Seed helps you achieve the maximum potential of your crops, resulting in a more profitable harvest.
- Longevity: The spore form of Bacstim® Seed ensures its longevity, providing lasting benefits to your crops throughout their growth cycle.
- Compatibility: Bacstim® Seed is compatible with fungicides and other nutrient products, allowing you to seamlessly integrate it into your existing farming practices.
- Ease of application: Applying Bacstim® Seed onto the seed is a straightforward process, making it a practical choice for farmers seeking to maximize their crop potential.
The combination of OmniRHR® and Bacstim® Seed represents a powerful synergy that can transform your agricultural operations.
OmniRHR® enhances germination and root hydration, while Bacstim® Seed promotes root growth, nutrient uptake, and stress resistance. By using these products together, you can achieve more uniform crops, higher yields, and greater sustainability in your farming practices.
Invest in the future of your crops with this winning combination and unlock the full potential of your agricultural endeavours.
