It delivers targeted microbial and mineral support where it is needed most, whether you’re growing in soil, raised beds, or commercial media blends.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\nBIO IRON combines 14% plant-available iron from iron humate with \u003cem\u003eBacillus subtilis\u003c\/em\u003e, \u003cem\u003eBacillus amyloliquefaciens\u003c\/em\u003e, \u003cem\u003eBacillus licheniformis\u003c\/em\u003e, and \u003cem\u003eStreptomyces nigrescens\u003c\/em\u003e. These soil-friendly microbes colonize the rhizosphere and improve root zone biology.
