Terracin Renew
Revitalises soil health
Terracin Renew can be used to improve soil health for a wide variety of crops by rebalancing soil biology. Balanced soil biology enables plants to withstand disease pressure. Terracin Renew contains a bacteria that produces antimicrobial compounds which, when introduced to the soil, resets the existing soil biology. After applying Terracin, Mycorrcin is used to stimulate the beneficial bacteria in the soil to recreate the balance found in healthy soil.
Inoculating the soil with beneficial and protective microbes early in the season helps plants resist fungal diseases.
Terracin has two modes of action:
- The microbe Bacillus amyloliquefaciens BS 1b which produces a wide range of antimicrobial compounds
- Fermentation extracts and other bioactive nutrients that reset the soil microbiology.
Apply Terracin in winter or prior to planting when changes of soil microbiology will have minimal impact on plant growth.
Use Terracin to improve soil health.
Vineyard replanting programme
For vineyard replant survival and rapid establishmentSauvignon Blanc vines in Marlborough
Results
3,600 vines were planted and only two vines were lost.Timeline
- June – The old grape vines were removed, the trellis was left in and Terracin was applied at 10 L/ha.
- 21 days later – Mycorrcin was applied at 4 L/ha under the vine.
- September – Bare root vines were soaked in 1% Mycorrcin before planting. Then, Mycorrcin was applied at 4 L/ha under vine at planting.
- December – A follow up Mycorrcin treatment was applied.

| Vine replanting | After old vine removal in winter, apply 10 L/sprayed ha of Terracin Renew, at a water rate of 1,000L/ha, (1 L/100 L) to the old under vine area. Apply 4 L/ha of Mycorrcin to the old under vine area 21 days later. | |
| Berries | 4 weeks before planting | Apply 10 L/ha Terracin (water rate 1,000L/ha; 1 L/100 L) to the soil before planting. |
| Vegetable crops | 4 weeks before sowing/planting | Apply 10 L/ha Terracin (water rate 1,000L/ha; 1 L/100 L) to the soil before planting or sowing. |
| Potatoes | At planting | Apply 5 L/ha Terracin via direct injection at planting. |
| Pipfruit and stonefruit | 4 weeks pre-bud break | Orchard floor: Apply 10 L/ha Terracin Renew, water rate 1,000L/ha, (1 L/100 L) to the orchard floor. Ensure the lower trunk gets covered with the spray. Repeat programme annually. |
| 4 weeks pre-bud break | Treatment of individual trees: Apply to the root zone of the affected tree 20 L of a 1:100 diluted solution of Terracin Renew (1 L/100 L). Treat all adjacent trees at the same rate. Repeat programme annually. | |
| Citrus and Avocados and stonefruit | August | Orchard floor: Apply 10 L/ha Terracin Renew, water rate 1,000L/ha, (1 L/100 L) to the orchard floor. Ensure the lower trunk gets covered with the spray. Repeat programme annually. Repeat programme annually. |
| August | Treatment of individual trees: Apply to the root zone of the affected tree 20 L of a 1:100 diluted solution of Terracin Renew (1 L/100 L). Treat all adjacent trees at the same rate. Repeat programme annually. |
Notes
Biostart recommends the application of Mycorrcin to augment Terracin programme to further enhance orchard soil health. In early September, 3–4 weeks after Terracin application, apply 10 L/ha Mycorrcin in 1,000 L water. In late November/early December apply 10 L/ha Mycorrcin in 1,000 L water.
