    Objective

    Evaluate the effects of BioPath® on the yield and quality of potatoes under different environmental conditions.

    Overview

    • Some applied fertilizer and other soil nutrients are unavailable to the plant for nutrient uptake due to complex physical and chemical interactions.
    • Select soil microbes can influence these interactions to increase plant nutrient availability and improve nutrient uptake and utilization, resulting in increased plant biomass and vigor.
    • Biopath contains multiple bacterial species that are specifically selected and formulated to promote plant nutrient availability.
    • Activity of bacterial species can vary depending on environmental conditions affecting the efficacy of the products.
