Macracote® Grey Coloniser Plus is a technologically advanced range of controlled release fertilisers and is fortified with a scientifically balanced blend of over 24 strains of beneficial (probiotic) soil microbes. These include bacteria, fungi, and algae to carry out a wide range of biological activities within the soil such as nitrogen fixing, nutrient building, producing growth hormones, decomposing organic matter to organic carbon, protecting beneficial bacteria by releasing antibiotics that can assist in inhibiting disease-producing microbes like root rot, fungi, and pythium as well as conditioning of soils by improving soil structure.

Some of the strains included are Azobacter, Azosprillum, Bacilli, Cellulosic fungi, Myxobacteria, Phosphobacteria, Pseudomonas, Rhizobium, Streptomyces, Saccharomyces, Trichoderma, VAM, and Yarrowia. Some bacterial species break down minerals and release potassium, phosphorus, magnesium, calcium, and iron to make them plant available and other species make and release natural plant growth hormones like auxins, gibberellins, and cytokines.

It effectively and efficiently delivers nutrients to roots by enhancing soil biology. This also helps in increasing and sustaining the population of beneficial microbes in the soil.

  • The unique coating results in high-performance release characteristics at both low and high temperatures
  • The coated fertiliser releases Nitrogen, Phosphorus, Potassium & trace elements in close proportion to their ratios in the granule
  • Uniform nutrient uptake results in a more vigorous plant with enhanced disease resistance, improved stem rigidity, and longer vase life in the case of cut flower production
  • Can be incorporated into soil mixes or used as top dress or broadcast applications
  • Release rates are not affected by leaching, pH, soil moisture, soil texture, organic matter, oxidation/reduction potentials, or by the ionic strength of soil solution
