A highly-concentrated, targeted blend of three growth-promoting rhizobacteria that can be used with organic or conventional growing practices to increase crop quality and quantity.
The bacteria in Tribus Original work symbiotically with the plant by producing extracellular enzymes and other biochemicals that maximize nutrient availability and uptake, improving root and stem growth, and increasing the plant’s growth rate, quality, and yield.
Tribus Original will populate the root zone of plants in all medias and does not cause problematic biofilm formation in hydroponic applications.
Proven Results:
Pro Tip: Use Tribus Original on seedlings to reduce the time from cut to root in clones while simultaneously encouraging vigorous development of new Roots.
Consortia
Tribus Original is a combination of three growth-promoting bacteria that work syngergistically to promote aggressive plant growth. Together, these bacteria mobilize locked-out and soil-bound nutrients that are otherwise unavailable to the plant and encourage root growth for greater nutrient and water uptake.
Persistence
The bacteria in Tribus have each other's back. On top of their endospore-forming ability, which helps them stick to soil particles instead of washing-out and helps them survive fluctuations in pH, water and nutrients, and temperatues, each species of bacteria in Tribus help each other thrive in the root zone. This means that Tribus continues to work in complex field-soil ecosystems where other inoculants lose efficacy almost immediately after application.
Efficacy
From the field to the greenhouse, Tribus promotes rapid plant growth in ways traditional inputs can't. The high concentration of bacteria ensures efficacy even at extremely low application rates, and the nutrient-mobilizing capabilities of Tribus means that most farmers can fertilize less and yield more while improving their soil quality for years to come.
Universal
Tribus can be tank-mixed and applied with all types of fertilizers, biostimulants, other beneficial microorganisms, and even most pesticides to save you time and effort. Because Tribus is highly salt and pH-tolerant, you don't have to worry about losing efficacy when mixing with strong fertilizers. Plus, Tribus is free-flowing, so it won't clog injectors, drip lines, or hydroponic systems. Ever.

WHAT IS A CFU?
A CFU, or Colony Forming Unit, is a measure of viable bacteria in each millimetre of product. The more CFU’s, the greater the effect of each application.

Impello Biosciences Tribus Original Rhizobacteria Inoculant, 1 Liter
What does Impello Biosciences Tribus Original do for plants?
Impello Biosciences Tribus Original is a highly concentrated liquid blend of three growth-promoting rhizobacteria that maximize nutrient availability and uptake, improve root and stem growth, and increase overall growth rate and yield. In documented results, Tribus Original has shown a 15% increase in dry yield, a 16% increase in stem diameter, and a 14% increase in growth rate.
Is Impello Tribus Original safe to use in hydroponic systems, and will the bacteria clog drip lines or injectors?
Impello Tribus Original is fully compatible with hydroponic systems and will not clog drip lines, injectors, or other hydroponic equipment. The free-flowing liquid formula also does not cause problematic biofilm formation, making Tribus Original a reliable choice for recirculating and drip-fed hydroponic setups.
Which growing media and growing stages can Impello Tribus Original be used in?
Impello Tribus Original can be used from seedling to harvest across all growing media, including soil, coco, and hydroponic systems. The bacteria populate the root zone regardless of media type, and Tribus Original is beneficial during the vegetative stage, bloom stage, and even during flush to help break down salt buildup.
Can Impello Tribus Original be tank-mixed with fertilizers, pesticides, or other beneficial microorganisms?
Impello Tribus Original can be tank-mixed and applied alongside all types of fertilizers, biostimulants, other beneficial microorganisms, and most pesticides. Because Tribus Original is highly salt-tolerant and pH-tolerant, the bacteria maintain efficacy even when mixed with strong fertilizers.
What bacteria strains are inside Impello Tribus Original, and how concentrated are they?
Impello Tribus Original contains three Bacillus species: Bacillus Subtilis at 4 billion CFU per milliliter, Bacillus Amyloliquefaciens at 2 billion CFU per milliliter, and Bacillus Pumilus at 4 billion CFU per milliliter. This high concentration means Tribus Original delivers strong results even at very low application rates.
Can Impello Tribus Original help speed up rooting for clones and cuttings?
Yes, applying Impello Tribus Original to seedlings and cuttings helps reduce the time from cut to root while encouraging vigorous new root development. The rhizobacteria in Tribus Original mobilize nutrients and stimulate root growth, making the product especially useful during the early propagation stage.
Is Impello Tribus Original OMRI certified for organic growing, and are there any availability restrictions?
OMRI-certified formulations of Impello Tribus Original are available, though the OMRI-certified blend is only offered in one-gallon sizes and larger. The OMRI-certified version is also not currently available in California.
