SIGMA BIO

A Premium Blend of Beneficial Microbes

Sigma Bio is a premium liquid biological containing soil enhancing Bacillus bacteria, Mycorrhizal fungi and Trichoderma fungi. Normally, mixing Trichoderma and Mycorhizal fungi is not possible due to the antaganism between the two species. This techincal issue has been overcome by Sigma Agri, developers of this unique blend of beneficial microbes. The synergy of these biologicals act on the plant’s rhizosphere and grow close to the root to promote healthy growth.

The microbes in Sigma Bio enhance plant growth and vigor by optimizing nutrient availability and uptake. With humic acid and organic carbon minerals, Sigma Bio improves plant performance and yield potential by promoting better root growth, pathogen deterrence and improved soil structure.

Encouraging the interaction between the rootzone and turfgrass plant roots

Figure from Microorganisms 6 (3): 95. (2018).

SW Agronomy, have spent many years investigating the interaction between rootzone microbes and the turfgrass plant root. One subject of study is the Rhizophagy Cycle in which microbes are "farmed" by plant roots, illustrated right:

Microbes enter the plant root carrying nutrients from the soil
Nutrients extracted from the microbes by Reactive Oxygen Species
Nutrient exhausted microbes stimulate root hair growth and leave the root through the tips
Microbes recharge with nutrients from the rootzone environment.

Giving the plant only soluble fertilisers results in plants not having to work for their nutrition, leading to few root hairs and weak processes vital for plant health and growth. Microbial and plant derived biostimulants increase root exudates that result in enhanced control of plant pathogens, and increases in nutrient availability and uptake by the roots, resulting in turfgrass plants that are able to withstand environmental stresses.
