BiOWiSH Crop products are effective across a broad range of management practices and growing conditions across the globe. These management practices vary in soil temperature at the time of planting and application of BiOWiSH products. It’s important to note that BiOWiSH Bacillus are applied to the soil as dormant endospores. In addition to other factors, endospores require concentrated, high-energy nutrients (such as root exudates) and temperatures in a range of 10°C to 15°C to initiate germination. After germination, BiOWiSH organisms are strongly associated with the roots of their host plant. Because of this association, beneficial microbes are enhanced in the rhizosphere.
