These specialized rhizobacteria, assist in the breakdown of organic materials and increase nutrient availability.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDuring the plant’s most intense growth phases (i.e. transplant, transition, and heavy flowering), the demand for certain nutrients and essential trace elements increases and changes frequently. To reach their full potential, plants require highly available forms of nutrition made available through microbial mechanisms. Although plants generate some of these microbes on their own, supplementing with Hydroguard significantly increases and accelerates these mechanisms.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThere are three mechanisms that allow the BA in Hydroguard to dominate the space they occupy.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOne:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eEndospores of B-A sense pathogenic fungi and bacteria in the root zone and begin to multiply, outcompeting other bacteria for space.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTwo:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eIf that doesn’t work this mass of Spores begin to consume food sources around them, starving competing bacteria.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAnd three:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eAs a last resort the bacteria can release a number of antibiotics that specifically target the competition\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eUsing Hydroguard as a foliar application early in a plant’s life cycle produces a similar effect on leaf tissue.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGUARANTEED ANALYSIS\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBacillus amyloliquefaciens 0.038% contains a minimum of 1.00×10^4 cfu’s \/ ml\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eUSAGE APPLICATION\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUse with every watering during your entire growth cycle.
