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, 250 mL
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 a plant's growth rate, quality, and yield. The bacteria produce extracellular enzymes and biochemicals that work symbiotically with the plant, with proven results including 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, or will the bacteria clog drip lines?
Impello Tribus Original is specifically formulated to be free-flowing and will not clog injectors, drip lines, or hydroponic systems, and does not cause problematic biofilm formation in hydroponic applications. Tribus Original is also highly salt and pH-tolerant, so the bacteria maintain efficacy even when mixed with strong fertilizers in a hydroponic reservoir.
Can Impello Tribus Original be used across all growing media and with other nutrient lines?
Yes, Impello Tribus Original is compatible with all growing media, including soil, coco, and hydroponic setups, and works with both organic and conventional growing practices. Tribus Original can be tank-mixed with all types of fertilizers, biostimulants, other beneficial microorganisms, and most pesticides without losing efficacy.
When during the grow cycle should a grower apply Impello Tribus Original?
Impello Tribus Original can be used from seedling all the way through harvest, making the product an all-in-one inoculant for every stage of growth. Applying Tribus Original to seedlings and clones reduces the time from cut to root, and continued use through veg and bloom stages improves manganese and iron uptake. Tribus Original is also helpful during flush to assist in breaking down salts.
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 mL, Bacillus Amyloliquefaciens at 2 billion CFU per mL, and Bacillus Pumilus at 4 billion CFU per mL. This high concentration of colony forming units ensures efficacy even at very low application rates, keeping the cost per use low.
Is Impello Tribus Original OMRI certified for organic growing, and does the 250 mL size qualify?
OMRI-certified formulations of Impello Tribus Original are available, but only in one-gallon sizes and larger. The 250 mL size is organic-based but does not carry the OMRI certification, and the OMRI certified blend is not currently available in California regardless of size.
How long does Impello Tribus Original stay viable after purchase?
Impello Tribus Original carries a minimum 18-month guaranteed shelf life. The bacteria strains in Tribus Original also form endospores that help the organisms survive fluctuations in pH, water, nutrients, and temperature, contributing to the product's long-term stability.
