Marrone Bio Innovations Bio-Tam 2.0, 5 lbs.

Bio-Tam is a unique blend of two highly active Trichoderma strains, proven to deliver preventative activity against several key soilborne diseases. By using two different strains, Bio-Tam provides consistent performance across a wider range of environmental conditions (soil temperature, soil pH, organic matter) when compared to single species formulations. Each strain colonizes the soil rhizosphere where they out-compete pathogens for nutrients and space. In addition, they enter symbiotic relationships with the plant’s roots, causing increased root growth and development. They bind to the surface of the root, where they offer an expanding shield of protection by actively attacking soil-borne pathogens which try and infect the roots. In short, Bio-Tam provides disease protection that actively grows with your crop.

Cozying up with your crop’s roots, Bio-Tam creates a living barrier to most major disease-causing fungi including Pythium, Phytophthora, and Rhizoctonia. Inoculating early enables the crop to establish quickly, weather in season abiotic stresses, and increase yields. It’s your first step in establishing an effective, economical disease control program that performs harmoniously with your other go-to fungicides.
