Terra-Sorb® symbiotic is a biostimulant containing L-α-amino acids & B. velezensis PH-023 CECT 30677. Isolated from Vélez River mouth in Málaga (Spain), this strain was selected among extremophile bacteria for its great growth capacity in difficult soil conditions for agriculture (high levels of alkalinity & salinity) where correct assimilation of macro and micronutrients by roots is difficult. PH-023 can fix atmospheric N, produces siderophores and phytohormones (auxins). PH-023 is fermented through Priming Tech™, a technology that uses as a N source the same liquid carrier where the bacteria is finally formulated.
