Peat-free and peat-reduced growing media may lack beneficial microbes to promote break down of plant residues, improve soil carbon and pH; and help to provide plants with available nutrients throughout the season.

ICL’s technical controls manager Sam Rivers explains that the microbial inoculant Vitalnova Triboost consists of a population of beneficial microbes. It contains enzymes and three live cultures of Bacillus subtilis, Enterococcus faecium and Lactobacillus plantarum – all freeze-dried.

TriBoost treated plants saw better rooting and were ready for sale 2-3 weeks earlier.
