Bactim Endofix

MODE OF ACTION OF BACTIM ENDOFIX:

BACTIM® ENDOFIX is a unique product based on a patented strain of the endophytic bacterium Paenibacillus polymyxa. These bacteria penetrate inside plants, providing them with atmospheric nitrogen directly from the air throughout the growing season. This ensures plants are optimally supplied with nitrogen, positively affecting their health, vigour and yield. BACTIM® ENDOFIX supports the natural processes occurring in plants, providing optimal conditions for growth and development.

Bactim Endofix is registered for use in organic farming in accordance with Regulation (EU) 2018/848.

Advantages of using Bactim Endofix:

- Effective nitrogen fixation: Paenibacillus polymyxa bacteria fix atmospheric nitrogen directly within the plant, ensuring a constant supply of this key nutrient.

- Improved nutrition and plant vigour: Plants are stronger, healthier and more resistant to stress.

- Increased yields: Use of the product leads to an increase in both quantity and quality of yields.

- Versatility: The product is effective in various crops and can be used together with other fertilisers and agrochemicals.

- Independence from soil conditions: It works effectively regardless of soil pH, fertility or fertilisation technology used.

- Possibility to reduce nitrogen fertilisation: Use of BACTIM® ENDOFIX allows for a reduction of standard nitrogen fertilisation by up to 20%.
