Tree crops, berries and citrus

Growing healthy plants that produce good yields of high-quality fruit requires thriving soil and plant biology.

We have created a range of programmes that allow growers to achieve these results through activating naturally occurring soil and plant microbes that are critical for nutrient uptake and optimising plant health.

Our biostimulant products are compatible with nutritional and other applications  so can be easily added into your current growing programme.

Vegetables

Growing healthy crops and obtaining good yields requires thriving soil and plant biology.

We have created a range of certified-organic products and programmes that allow growers to achieve these results through activating naturally occurring soil and plant microbes that are critical for nutrient uptake and optimising vegetable crop health.

We have programmes for a wide range of crops (including potatoes, brassicas, lettuce, pumpkin, squash, carrots, onions and kumara/sweet potatoes), taking you from seedling through to harvest. As well as covering common issues in the field, like problem soil and the management of Botrytis and powdery mildew.

Grapes and wine

At Biostart, we have created a range of biostimulant programmes that support vines to produce high-quality fruit and consistent yields.

Using our biostimulants growers can activate naturally occurring soil and plant microbes that are critical for vine nutrient uptake, encouraging fast vine establishment, bigger cane size, higher vine resilience, and more consistent yields that produce better flavoured wines.

Plus, we also have programmes designed to help you through tough times, see below for how to recover after frost, tackle Botrytis and powdery mildew and what to do if grass grubs are damaging your vineyard.

Kiwifruit

At Biostart, we support kiwifruit growers with biostimulants that activate soil and plant microbes that stimulate good root growth, nutrient uptake and resilience against disease – resulting in bigger and better yields.

Optimal soil and leaf biology created by the Biostart programme has been shown to lead to faster kiwifruit orchard establishment, higher graft take, increased cane growth and bud numbers, more resilient vines and higher and better-quality yields. We also have programmes for the management of sooty mould and problem soil.

Our Sooty Mould programme

Sooty mould is a fungus that causes discolouration of kiwifruit. Use TripleX, which contains the microbe Bacillus amyloliquefaciens Bs1b, to reduce sooty mould’s ability to establish and develop. Read more about TripleX and sooty mould here.

Product Timing Application
TripleX When passion vine hoppers and cicadas are active (early January to late March). Spray 2–3 weekly intervals on to fruit and foliage. Apply a minimum of 3 L/ha diluted in 1,000 L water. A good super wetter (such as DuWett) should be used to ensure thorough fruit and stem coverage as this is where most sooty mould infections are located.

Notes

TripleX is ACVM registered P8137 and certified organic.

For best results reduce cicada and PVH populations in the orchard and adjacent hedges, use a clean spray tank, and mix with non-chlorinated water.

Our Sclerotinia programme

The active ingredient in TripleX, the microbe Bacillus amyloliquefaciens Bs1b, reduces Sclerotinia’s ability to establish and develop by colonising the flowers and outcompeting the fungus. Read more here.

Product Timing Application
TripleX When kiwifruit
(Hayward only) are at 80-90% flowering
Apply to the flowers and foliage at a dilution rate of 150 mL/100L water to the point of run off. To ensure good coverage, add an approved super wetter/spreader at the recommended label rate and adjust application rates accordingly (call 0800 116 229 if uncertain of compatibility).

Notes

TripleX is ACVM registered P8137 and certified organic.

Fodder crops

We believe that healthy plants start with healthy soil. So we suggest using Organic Mycorrcin and Biostart N, to encourage biologically thriving soil.

After harvest, Organic Digester is a great option to rapidly break down crop trash and recycle organic matter and nutrients back into the soil.

We also have a solution for powdery mildew in fodder beet and forage brassica.
