Horticulture
Growing healthy, high-quality fruit and vegetables and hitting yield targets requires thriving soil and plant biology.
At Biostart, we support growers with biostimulants that activate naturally occurring soil and plant microbes – because we believe that biology is the best solution to your growing problem.

Release and recycle nutrients
Stimulating beneficial microbes breaks down organic matter faster and more completely. Use Digester to release nutrients in crop stubble, orchard prunings and compost.
Fix nitrogen and reduce run-off
By introducing nitrogen-fixing bacteria to the soil, Biostart N supports a long-term, steady supply of nitrogen that mitigates the excess runoff associated with conventional nitrogen fertilisers.
Treat grass grub
Grass grub can cause root and plant damage in pasture, orchards and vineyards. Bioshield introduces a naturally occurring disease, specific to grass grubs.
