The next generation of biostimulants.

The active agents in Bio Shot include same two main growth stimulators in Vitazyme: triacontanol and brassinosteroids, but in much higher concentration / content than the latter. With it’s 10X concentration and resulting lower application rates and transportation and storage costs, Bio Shot delivers the active agents to the spray tank without all the water. Easy to use, compatible with most agrochemicals and cultural practices, with no need for agitation prior and during application as Vitazyme does, Bio Shot eliminates the need for extra application costs, while boosting crop yield and quality. With it’s low per acre cost, Bio Shot is an economical input for the sustainable intensification of any agricultural system.

The Symbiotic Cycle

The actives in Bio Shot increase chloroplast development, allowing the plant to fix more atmospheric carbon in the form of carbohydrates. These carbohydrates are utilized within the plant to form sugars and amino acids that the plant needs for growth and exudation into the rhizosphere to support and stabilize the microbial colonies in the root zone, which in turn break down complex minerals into simple nutrients for plant uptake.

The microbial symbiosis that Bio Shot helps develop makes it a perfect companion product to the beneficial microbes present in Bio Seed

Corn in Tennessee

How to Use & Compatibility

Bio Shot is applied at a 1.35 – 3 oz/acre rate (100 – 215 ml/ha) depending on crop biomass. Foliar applications are recommended, however in-furrow drenches have also shown efficacy. Most frequent applications range from 2 – 4 times per season depending on growing season length and crop value.

Bio Shot is compatible with most common agrichemicals. A jar test is recommended when mixing Bio Shot with new chemicals.

Designed With Growers in Mind

Bio Shot features low transportation costs, greater ease in handling, less waste to recycle, and smaller storage space. Coupled with unmatched performance, Bio Shot is truly a ‘Best in Class’ biostimulant.

Directions

  • Transplanting trees & vegetables: Drench with a 0.1% solution.
  • Cereal grains: Apply a foliar spray post emergence and at late tillering-early boot stage.
  • Vegetables: Apply a foliar spray 3 weeks after planting and every 3-4 weeks until harvest.
  • Tree fruits: Apply a foliar spray at the flower bud stage and every 3-4 weeks until harvest.
  • Small fruits and berries: Apply a foliar spray in early spring when growth begins, and every 3-4 weeks until harvest. At least one post harvest application is recommended

Frequently Asked Questions About Bio Shot

Bio Shot works to improve the photosynthetic capacity of the leaf tissues by increasing chloroplast development and speeding up the respiration processes to increase carbohydrate and amino acid production by the plant. These building blocks are used by the plant for a variety of functions throughout the growth cycle. This also increases the amount of root exudation by the plant, which stimulates beneficial soil micro organisms that contribute to nitrogen fixation, phosphate release, and potassium mobility.

Bio Shot will be effective with each application, even if only one application is made for a particular crop; the Bio Shot effects will be compounded with each subsequent application.

No. Bio Shot typically increases test weight of grains, and crop density and brix of fruits and vegetables, along with yield

Bio Shot left over at the end of the year, will it keep until next season?

Yes, Bio Shot has a 2 year shelf life

No. Bio Shot is stable under extreme temperatures.

Bio Shot make herbicides, fungicides, or insecticides hotter or less effective?

No. The active agents are composed of large, stable molecules that will not react with other agrochemicals.
