About us
RHIZO-MIC GmbH is a German company with location in Sankt Johann / Rheinhessen, Rheinland-Pfalz. RHIZO-MIC GmbH assists customers (farmers & distributors) in maintaining and enhancing soil fertility, land productivity & plant health with the help of biological and natural products. Most of the products were developed and certified for use in organic farming. RHIZO-MIC GmbH manufactures most of the products themselves.
The most valuable asset of RHIZO-MIC GmbH is the expertise of its founders, in research and development of biological and natural products for agricultural plant production systems.
We offer products and expertise for biological/ecological and conventional agricultural farming, in relation to
- Rhizosphere technologies, mainly arbuscular mycorrhizae and plant growth promoting rhizosphere microorganisms
- Plant biostimulants for soil application (inorganics, plant extracts, microorganisms)
- Ecological products for foliar application
Introduction
We define biostimulants to be natural products that improve crop and fruit production and or quality in a natural way. The products can be beneficial microorganisms, plant extracts, or extracts of organic materials, natural minerals or sediments, or finely milled rocks, or combinations of the named materials. These substances are formulated in different ways that their shelf life is guaranteed to be minimum two years at ambient conditions.
Our biostimulants were scientifically tested, and recommendations are given on basis of test results. The aim is to vitalize plants, to stimulate root and plant growth, to increase tolerance of plants to abiotic and biotic stresses, to improve natural processes in plants for more efficient nutrient uptake, and to improve crop quality. All this, in general as a combination of various effects, will result in improved crop production or soil productivity, or in improved use efficiency of farming inputs.
With the exception of a few, our products are approved for use in organic farming (FiBL approval); They can of course be used in conventional farming. The products are either applied to soil, roots, seed, tuber, or to foliage of plants and crops, after dilution in water.
Biostimulants
RHIZO-MIC GmbH’s plant biostimulants contain beneficial rhizosphere microorganism and natural substances that are known to vitalize plants, to stimulate root and plant growth, to increase tolerance of plants to abiotic and biotic stresses, to improve natural processes in plants for more efficient nutrient uptake, and to improve crop quality in a natural way.
RHIZO-MIC GmbH products are either applied to soil, plant roots, seed or tubers, or to the foliage of plants and crops.
Products manufactured and provided by RHIZO-MIC GmbH, Auf dem Ewiger 15, D-55578 St. Johann, Germany (status 2024)
Soil microorganisms interact on root surface (rhizosphere) with nutrient uptake processes and plant self defence processes (plant strengthening and plant vitalization). Also soil microorganisms improve soil health and soil structure (in foto, the microorganisms in rhizosphere, are stained blue and green to make them visible).
