PTH_M028SUB_BioFungGen_2.8_3D.png

PRO-MIX BRK20 is a peat-bark based growing medium similar to PRO-MIX BRK,however bark content has been reduced to 20% by volume. The result is a general use growing medium that holds more water than PRO-MIX BRK and has a lower bulk density. This medium has been enriched with a biofungicide (Bacillus Subtilis) that prevents root diseases. These bacteria colonize developing root systems, and suppress disease-causing organisms, such as Pythium, Fusarium and Rhizoctonia, which attack root systems. The bacteria also act as a biostimulant developing with the growing root system. A vigorous root system is then established, resulting in more uniform plant stands after transplanting in the field and in greater crop yields.

Features

  • Peat bark-based growing media for transplanting a wide variety of plant species
  • For large cell-pack bedding trays (i.e. 606 and larger), pots and containers up to 2 gallons
  • Contains bark for high porosity and improved bulk density
  • Has the lowest water retention and highest bulk density of all PRO-MIX products
  • Contains BIOFUNGICIDE™ (Bacillus Subtilis-MBI600)

Benefits**

  • Reduces overwatering risk
  • Increased drainage
  • High bulk density ensures good pot stability
  • Growers can use fertilizer regimes similar to peat-based mixes, unlike other bark-based mixes
  • BIOFUNGICIDE™ reduces incidence of root diseases to improve overall growth of plants

**Benefits may vary among plant species and cultivars.
