Potting soil and growing media
Microbac develops microbial concentrates for producers of potting soil and growing media, including stone wool. We tailor the microorganisms, formulation and dosing to your product and production process. You incorporate the concentrate into your end product yourself.
Applications
For each application we tune microorganisms, formulation and dosing to your product and production process.
For your potting soil we select the microorganisms and tune the formulation and concentration of the concentrate to your recipe. We assess shelf life for the intended application.
For professional growing media, including stone wool, we tune the microorganisms, formulation and moment of addition of the concentrate with you to your product and production process.
Decision criteria
Four points we assess in every project.
We select the microorganisms and assess compatibility with the recipe you provide.
We tune a suitable concentration and formulation and determine the moment of addition in consultation with you.
We assess shelf life for the intended application.
We check the CFU (colony-forming units) of our microbial batch and agree delivery per project.
Rules on labelling, claims and registration differ per country and product type and remain the responsibility of the producer or brand owner.
Approach
Every project starts with your product and production process.
We discuss your product, recipe and production process.
With our microbiological expertise and strain bank we choose microorganisms and formulation.
We make a prototype or first batch of the concentrate and assess it with you.
After checking quality and CFU, we plan delivery of the concentrate.
