Bacillus subtilis GB03 is gram-positive (spore producing), a fact that means it is extremely persistent and able to withstand stressful conditions like heat, drought, and cold.
Companion’s non-clogging, non-abrasive liquid formulation also includes a food source to ensure the survival of the GB03 once they are applied.
Companion is 100% natural, and contains no chemicals. What does this mean for you and your plants? Well, to start with, you’ll get some secondary benefits that you wouldn’t when using chemicals. For instance, it is a known fact that the use of chemical products will actually prune the roots of your plants. In stark contrast to chemical fungicides, Companion actually encourages stronger, denser root mass and length! That is because Bacillus subtilis GB03 excretes IAA-like substances that encourage such growth.
The product is also easy to use. Companion can be tank-mixed with fertilizers without detrimental effects to the product. That’s right … you won’t have to do any extra work with Companion, and that can mean big time savings!
Companion is also a valuable tool for resistance management. Why? A naturally occurring beneficial like Bacillus subtilis GB03 will crowd out less desirable microbes, in what amounts to a game of “survival of the fittest”.
GB03 quickly adapts to its environment, and reproduces more quickly than other microbes. Additionally, they also establish colonies that make it difficult for detrimental microbes to gain a foothold. This process may be likened to a crowded parking lot … once all of the spaces are filled, there aren’t any spaces for new microbes.
One last note: Companion has no special storage requirements. Just imagine … you won’t have to worry about refrigerating this product (as is the case with other products that contain microorganisms) in order to keep it viable. It also has an amazing shelf life of more than three years, so you’ll always be sure that every ounce of Companion is consistent in microbial quantity and quality!
