WHAT IS STONE-B?

STONE-B is an organic biofertilizer, bioprotector and soil conditioner, constituted by a consortium of strains of PGPR (Plant Growth Promoting Rhizobacteria) belonging to genera Azospirillum, Paenibacillus and Bacillus among others, isolated by our laboratory. These strains are linked to a natural carrier and are formulated as a slow-release granule, gradually delivering microorganisms and nutrients. These genera can actively colonize plant roots and supply nutrients to plants, improve rooting, plant growth and yield by direct and indirect mechanisms. Likewise, it enhances the soil properties as well as protects plants from some pests and diseases.

FACTS THAT DIFFERENTIATE STONE-B
FROM OTHER PRODUCTS IN THE MARKET

STONE-B is a soil conditioner and a biofertilizer composed of a unique microbial
consortium that covers the biofertilization of all macronutrients (NPK).
Not only does it accelerate microbial growth, it protects from pests,
disease and abiotic stress, making it a strong plant growth accelerator.

STONE-B is formulated as a slow release system which guarantees the root
colonization of plants, creating a viable web of microorganisms that will
ultimately help keep your plants well nourished and healthy.

Shelf life has a high stability in storage of more than two years, including
after application because of its formulation.

All these factors make STONE-B different from any other product currently
in the market.

SUMMARY OF STONE-B

STONE-B is an organic biofertilizer and bio protector. It is composed of a consortium of PGPR strains that are isolated. These PGPR strains are immobilized in a natural carrier, consisting of a mix of minerals and formulated as a slow-release granule.

This process continuously liberates microorganisms & nutrients to the soil, guaranteeing the colonization of roots and subsequent activity. The principles in which its actions are based on, are natural processes stimulated and enabled through the massive reproduction and reintroduction of these microbial agents in the environment to enhance these processes. This consortium of bacteria is able to colonize the roots of plants, as well as fix
atmospheric nitrogen, soluble phosphate, potassium, and other minerals in the soil, which provides nutrients needed by the plants.

STONE-B is a strong growth accelerator. It reduces transplant shock, facilitating plant establishment which increases the plants survival. It also produces phytohormones, siderophores, and different growth promoting substances that
improve rooting. This process yields stronger and healthier plants, while achieving a strong reduction of environmental water pollution by producing a drastic reduction of nitrates in crops and the environment.

Plants colonized by STONE-B’s bacteria, are protected from the entry of pathogens and moreover grow healthy. Plants well nourished with a strong roots system, are more resistant to attacks of pathogenic organisms and abiotic stress. STONE-B has a positive effect on the characteristics of the soil, reducing its salinity and improving it’s structure. It has a high stability for storage and application in the field. These microorganisms stay well conserved in very favorable metabolic conditions. When freed up, they exhibit a high survival and working capacity. This product greatly reduces the amount of labor, as it is applied only once in short cycle crops and once a year in perennials.
