AgroPhos
Phosphate-Solubilising Pseudomonas protegens
AgroPhos is a concentrated microbial inoculant containing Pseudomonas protegens, a beneficial rhizosphere bacterium selected for its ability to solubilise phosphorus and support nutrient availability around developing roots.
By helping convert less-available forms of soil phosphorus into forms that plants can access, AgroPhos is designed to complement crop nutrition programmes and improve biological activity within the rhizosphere.
Key Features and Benefits:
- Supports phosphorus solubilisation in the rhizosphere
- Helps improve the availability of soil phosphorus
- Supports root development and nutrient uptake
- Promotes biological activity around the root zone
- Complements conventional phosphorus nutrition programmes
- Suitable for a wide range of agricultural and horticultural crops
How AgroPhos Works
Phosphorus is essential for root development, energy transfer and crop establishment, but a significant proportion of soil phosphorus can become bound in forms that are poorly available to plants.
Pseudomonas protegens colonises the rhizosphere and can produce organic acids and other metabolites that help solubilise bound forms of phosphorus.
This biological activity can increase phosphorus availability around developing roots, supporting more efficient nutrient acquisition as part of an integrated crop nutrition programme.
Microbial Specification
Pseudomonas protegens
Contains no less than 1 × 10⁸ CFU/mL at manufacture.
Application
Agro
Phos can be applied as part of crop establishment or ongoing soil and crop nutrition programmes.
Seed treatment: 0.5–1 L per 100 kg seed
In-furrow: 2 L/ha
Soil application: 3–5 L/ha
Suitable for cereals, forage crops, pasture, vegetables, potatoes and horticultural crops.
Making More of Soil Phosphorus
AgroPhos is designed to complement sound phosphorus management rather than replace appropriate fertiliser inputs.
