ANNOUNCEMENT

Is the first biofertilizer product of Biospark Corporation and has been developed from tropical fungi isolated from the Philippine forests. A portion of three strains were selected to produce a unique composition with unique benefits. The product is composed of three bio-nutrient suppressive strains, which are grown separately in an natural medium and mix together in correct proportions that enable these fungi to perform their tasks effectively as biofertilizer, biofungicide, growth promotant, composting agent etc. The dried medium containing the dormant fungi contains billions of strains that have a shelf life of 24 months. 

The inoculant is seed coated to palay, corn, vegetables and other crops before planting. Trichoderma immediately colonizes the root hairs upon seed germination Thus, the fungus is carried to the fields even if the seeds are sown in seed beds. It helps in making available and in absorption of mineral nutrients from the soil. It also helps in producing growth hormones, like auxins and gibberellins. This has direct growth enhancement effect on crops. Almost all seeds germinate. The root system of the seedlings is well – developed with longer and bigger rootlets. Seedlings grow fast, produce more leaves and mature early due to better absorption of nutrients. Transplant in the field can be done at least one week earlier than those seedlings that were grown in seedbeds without the inoculant. 

In a trial done in Fugu, Ilagan Isabela, Farmer Cooperator Lorenzo Ballesteros obtained a 120% increased in corn harvests from the use of 1 pack (250g) Biospark Trichoderma. He reduced his fertilizer usage from 4 bags to 2 bags only. From his previous harvests of 42 cavans after using Biospark Trichoderma, his resulting harvest was 92 cavans.

Tomato harvests increased and quality is better having almost the same sizes. Life span of tomato is extended by 3 to 4 weeks thereby having additional harvests compared to the usual life span experienced by the farmers.
