A highly concentrated liquid Bacillus subtilis GB03

OMRI Listed and fully EPA approved for hydroponic and soil use!

When it comes to growing flowers and vegetables, it is extremely important to begin with -- and maintain -- a disease-free system. Whether you are an established greenhouse grower, a hydroponic hobbyist, a tried and true soil grower, or fall somewhere in between, keeping your plants healthy at all growth stages is a key to success.

Growth Products’ Companion Microbial Inoculant is a great tool for making sure your plants are always at their best. Thanks to American Hydroponics, it is now available to the Hydroponics Industry!

Companion is an all natural microbial inoculant that can be used in soil or hydroponics. Each ounce of this 100% natural liquid contains a staggering 43 million beneficial Bacillus subtilis GB03 bacteria. Once they “set up shop,” these amazing microorganisms also help reduce transplant shock, stimulate root growth, and make nutrients more available for plant uptake.

No matter where you are in the growing cycle, it is critical to keep your plants their healthiest. Besides looking better, healthy plants are more able to take up and utilize critical nutrients. Your plants will be stronger and more able to resist pests, disease, and other stresses.

Perhaps you grow your flowers and vegetables inside a greenhouse, or maybe your vegetables are of the field-grown variety. Whatever the case, Companion is easy-to-use and perfect for all types of crops.

F.A.Q.

  • Q. How do Bacillus subtillis GB03 survive?

    A. If conditions are unfavorable, the Bacillus subtilis do not die, but rather form spores (go into dormancy). They re-emerge when favorable conditions are re-established.

  • Q. Under what conditions are Bacillus subtilis most active?

    A. Bacillus Subtilis are active in temperatures between 45 and 113 Farenheit.

  • Q. Where do Bacillus subtilis live once they are applied?

    A. Bacillus subtilis GB03 bacteria establish colonies around the root hairs of the plant.

  • Q. What do Bacillus subtilis eat?

    A. The main food sources for Bacillus subtilis are 1) the sugars being released by the plant roots and 2) carbon from dead root cells.

  • Q. Is it true that Bacillus subtilis improves the root system of the plant?

    A. Yes. By cleaning up old and dead roots, the Bacillus subtilis actually function as root "cleaners." They also produce hormones that have been shown to increase root branching, mass, and length.

  • Q. What other benefits does Bacillus subtilis GB03 provide to the plant?

    A. You'll have stronger, healthier plants ("from the root up"). Plants with a healthier root system are better able to take up and use nutrients.

  • Q. What effects does Bacillus subtilis GB03 have on nutrients?

    A. Bacillus subtilis GB03 produce enzymes that help free up minor elements in the nutrients, making them available for plant uptake.

  • Q. Can Companion be applied through irrigation systems?

    A. Yes. Companion can be applied without fear of clogging through even the most sensitive irrigation equipment.

  • Q. Is Companion compatible with nutrients and additives?

    A. Yes. Companion may be tank-mixed with almost all other nutrients and additives.

  • Q. What is the shelf life of Companion?

    A. More than two years, thanks to a special patented formula.
