M-BOS is registered on a variety of crops
NutriAg has launched M-BOS, its latest range of biological nutrient solutions. M-BOS was developed together with a leading local university by combining NutriAg’s proprietary formulation technology with a specialised plant growth-promoting bacterium, Methylobacterium organophilum. This bacterium was first isolated from the petiole of Pelargonium zonale.
The specialised bacteria, once applied, produce several metabolites that impact leaf senescence, nutrient mobilisation, and cell division, and assist the plant defence against abiotic stress. This also assists the plant in building natural cytokinins to promote growth.
Applied as a seed treatment, in furrow or foliar spray, M-BOS has shown to increase tolerance to abiotic stress and accelerate growth rates that ultimately result in greater marketable yield.
“There is an increased need to provide growers with highly efficient and sustainable plant nutrient solutions. Biofertilisers are becoming an essential for change and M-BOS™ is ready to meet that challenge,” said Martin Bloomberg, President, NutriAg.
M-BOS is registered on a variety of crops and is now available for sale in Canada.
