Probiotics in Plants!


Have you seen the Yoplait Yogurt commercial discussing how probiotic yogurt is good for human health? Probiotics is the idea of introducing non-harmful bacteria to our gut to keep the bad bacteria in check.
The key is to keep the balance between the good and bad bacteria in harmony. While our bodies do this naturally, sometimes they need a boost.
Our bodies contain trillions of cells and microbes. In fact, the average person contains at least 400 species of microbes in the intestinal tract alone. Out of the 100 trillion cells that make up the average, only 10 trillion of them are human cells; the rest are foreign.
Plants need probiotics too! Just like in humans, there are trillions of microbes in the soil. In fact, 1 tablespoon of soil has more organisms in it than there are people on earth!
And, just like human health, probiotics are good for plant health too. By introducing good or benign (non-harmful) bacteria, pathogenic bacteria are kept at bay.
That’s why we decided to add Holganix to our turf fertility program.
What is Holganix? Holganix is a 100% organic, plant probiotic that allows us to utilize up to 50% less chemical fertilizers and 75% less pesticides than our traditional program.
Holganix is teeming with beneficial microorganisms that will allow us to naturally build healthier, beautiful more resilient plants.
