BIO-RESTART
Re-establishing the soil's micro-ecosystem
A broad spectrum of beneficial microorganisms that form symbiotic relationships with plants, restoring the soil damage of chemical farming.
Available in 1kg, 10kg and 25kg packages
Bio-Restart Uses
Used to restore the damage to micro-ecosystem caused by modern farming methods and chemicals.
Used to revitalise soil-life.
Benefits
Bio-Restart bacteria offers a host of systemic benefits, such as:
• Increased Nutrient Intake:
Solubilising essential nutrients like phosphorus, potassium and iron in the soil, making them easily accessible to plants, improving nutrient intake and plant growth.
• Production of Plant Hormones:
Producing Phytohormones that regulate plant growth. These chemical messengers promote root and shoot development, resulting in increased plant biomass and health.
• Pathogen Control:
Protecting plants by producing substances that fight harmful pathogens and compete for resources, reducing disease risks and severity.
• Increased Resistance:
Activating plants’ natural defense systems, helping them respond rapidly and effectively to pathogen attacks, thus providing long-lasting disease protection.
• Drought and Stress Tolerance:
Helping plants withstand environmental stresses like drought and high salinity by producing compounds that support plant survival and growth during tough conditions.
• Nitrogen Fixation:
Specific Bio-Restart bacteria, are able to convert atmospheric nitrogen into forms that plants can use, enhancing nitrogen availability in the soil and reducing the need for chemical fertilisers.
In short, Bio-Restart bacteria create a foundation for plant health, growth, disease resistance, and overall vitality, leading to more sustainable farming practices.

Frequently asked questions
Chemical farming requires an ever increasing capital input to maintain the same yields. With the higher demand and higher price of chemicals needed to sustain yields, there is a fall-off of profitability. This ultimately threatens not only the profits but ultimately the viability of traditional farming methods. The problem created by chemical applications, cannot be resolved by further chemical means.
MegaGro products provide the farmer with a cost-efficient means of increasing soil conditions and yields without increasing chemical input. Over a longer-term, this can transition into the even more rewarding solution of replacing chemicals with organic MegaGro products.
Thus MegaGro offers an affordable, organic, sustainable, profitable and practical method to achieve both short and long-term benefits.
Absolutely. Simply look at our trial results to see how MegaGro can increase profits, without any other change existing farming methods.
A complete transition from chemical based farming to MegaGro, is a process that can take a few seasons. The greater the degree of historical damage done to the soil through chemical applications, the longer the regeneration process will take to break down and restore elements in the soil. This is done scientifically, by testing and monitoring the soil condition, and systematically building up the soil's specific needs naturally to wean its chemical dependancy. Contact us today and let our experts guide you through the process.
MegaGro cannot do damage to any plant with an active root zone. The reason any excess of micro or macro nutrients in the soil will not harm the plant, is because bacteria respond to plant signals and communication, making them only plant beneficial.
MegaGro should not be applied in conjunction with any biocides, as these would kill off the organisms within the product. However, two weeks after the application of MegaGro, biocides may again be used, since micro organism reproduction will have reached high enough levels by this time.
Traditional farming chemicals, as well as all other MegaGro products may be used in conjunction with each other.
In annual crops where fields lay bare for a number of months, micro organisms die back due to a lack of plant root function. The solution is simply a reapplication of MegaGro to replenish these bacteria levels during the next sowing cycle.
Perennial crops do not experience the same fall-off of micro organism counts, so only smaller top-up doses are recommended annually.
Store in a cool dry place (not refrigerated). Product shelf-life is 12 months.
We recommend mixing the MegaGro product the same day as it is applied to the soil. However, should unforeseen circumstances arise, 3 to 4 days in tank should not drastically affect the efficacy of the product.
We provide full application instructions with your purchase (this will also be available on the website soon).
We would love to hear from you. If you would like an expert to help you transition into the use of MegaGro products or have a more technical question, please send us your details and we will ensure that a team member gets back to you shortly.
Also note that we can make site-specific recommendations for you, based on your soil trial results.
