What is Biostimax®?Biostimax® is a plant biostimulant, derived from finely micronized minerals with more than excellent results in practice all over the world.
What are plant biostimulants?Plant biostimulants are natural or biologically derived substances that enhance plant growth, nutrient absorption, and stress tolerance. They are not fertilizers and do not replace the need for essential nutrients, but they can lower the requirements for fertilizers.
What are the main benefits of Biostimax®? The most noticeable benefits of using Biostimax® are:
- Improved photosynthesis,
- Increased biosynthesis,
- Boosted plant resistance against certain pests and diseases,
- Boosted plant resistance against environmental stress (soil, climate),
- Lowered requirements for irrigation,
what results in higher yields and higher quality produce. What makes Biostimax® different from other biostimulants?Biostimax® is a 100% natural (not all are) biostimulant, entirely safe for people, animals, and the soil. It delivers all the benefits typically expected from biostimulants, while its performance, based on numerous studies and trials, is simply more effective and yields better results.
How are the effects of Biostimax® observed in practice? The use of Biostimax® results in increased vegetation growth, characterized by larger and thicker leaves and an expanded root system. This leads to more efficient uptake of nutrients from both soil and other foliar agents, reducing the quantity of agents required. This also leads to a lowered cost for farmers. Biostimax® is a potent enhancer of plant vitality, resulting in stronger and healthier plants that have increased natural defense against certain pests and diseases. You can expect a noticeable increase in overall yield, along with an increase also in quality, not just quantity.
For which plants is Biostimax® suitable? Biostimax® is suitable for all plants with developed leaves, including cereals, vegetables, orchards, berries, vines, olive trees, spices, cotton, and ornamental flowers.
How does the use of biostimulant Biostimax® improve soil quality? Using Biostimax® leads to enhanced biomass, which can have a profund positive effects on soil health. The residual plant material left on the field post harvest plays a crucial role building organic matter. Biostimax® also helps to improve soil structure and has a crucial role in preserving soil moisture levels in arid regions, thereby boosting mineral accessibility and reducing nutrient loss from leaching.
What is the origin of Biostimax®? The mineral raw material is sourced from a quarry with a unique, particularly favorable mineral composition for plants in Europe and is micronized by proprietary technology in Germany. Biostimax® is made in Germany.
Can Biostimax® be used in organic agriculture? Yes, Biostimax® is a 100% natural organic fertilizer/biostimulant certified by the Research Institute of Organic Agriculture FIBL, Germany. It can be used in all agricultural practices - conventional, sustainable, organic, and biodynamic (DEMETER) agriculture.
Is Biostimax® harmful?No, Biostimax® is made of 100% natural minerals and safe for plants, people, and animals.
How do I apply Biostimax®? Biostimax® is a plant supplement that requires a foliar application. To make the solution, mix it with water to create a 0.3% to 0.5% suspension, which should then be sprayed on the green parts of the plants using any spraying method. You can even use a drone for this purpose. During the complete vegetation period, spray the solution every 15-30 days. You can treat plants more often if exposed to stressful conditions.
Does it matter when I apply Biostimax®? For the best results with Biostimax®, we recommend spraying the plants during all major vegetation phases according to our application recommendations . We suggest spraying the plants in the early morning or late afternoon/evening, particularly during the hot summer months when the sun is strongest. How much Biostimax® should I use?On average, the recommended usage of Biostimax® per application is between 1.5 kg to 2 kg per Hectare (Ha) or 0.6 kg to 0.8 kg per acre (acre). This means that for the entire vegetation season, which spans 3 applications, the recommended usage is between 4.5 kg to 6 kg per Hectare (Ha) or 1.8 kg to 2.4 kg per acre (acre).
Can I spray Biostimax® together with pesticides and other foliar agents?Biostimax® can be mixed and sprayed together with the vast majority of known and commonly used chemical protective agents. Nevertheless, we strongly encourage all end users to perform a jar test of the compatibility/miscibility of a given pesticide with Biostimax® at recommended concentrations.
How do I store Biostimax®? If the box/bag of Biostimax® remains unopened, it can last indefinitely, ensuring its longevity for future use. However, once the bag has been opened, it's crucial to reseal it properly to prevent air or moisture from entering. By resealing the opened box/bag, you can preserve Biostimax® until the next season, ensuring that it remains in good condition and ready to nourish your plants when needed.
How long does it take to work? After treating the plant with Biostimax®, you will notice the first effect within a few days. The leaves will turn dark green, making distinguishing between treated and untreated plants easy. As the vegetation season progresses, you can expect to see significant improvements in plant growth, healthier plants, and more abundant yields. This will result in both a higher quantity and quality of produce.
