BiotaMax™ Soil Benefits: Degrades Organic Material Composts existing material faster Processes Nutrients make nutrients more soluble Increases Moisture in soil around roots, reduces stress from drought Adds Nitrogenatmospheric nitrogen converted into soil nitrogen
BiotaMax™ Plant Benefits: Produces Plant Hormones helps plants grow bigger Increases Root Mass larger roots = stronger plants = higher yields Reverses Root Oxidation makes old roots fresh

BiotaMax™ Balance: Replaces Beneficial Fungi after Fungicide application Fungicides kill good and bad fungi Replaces Beneficial Bacteria after Biocide application Biocides kill good and bad bacteria Similar to medical concept: Many doctors recommend taking a probiotic, or yogurt, to replace intestinal bacteria after taking antibiotics. Restores Soil BALANCE between beneficial bacteria and fungi
