There is a guy named Cap on another board that is selling beneficials.

Look on ebay...search 'for the farm only'

He has species and sub species listed along with the spore counts in his Ebay description...

which are off the friggin hook!!

Its the best deal on bennies out there that I know of.

I am using the foliar and root pack as we speak and I am pleased.

NUTE PACK:

The Nute pack is an ideal way to boost your plants ability to do what it does best: grow and flower. With the proper application, you will see a noticeable difference in growth, yield and overall vigor.

Nitrogen fixers made up of Azospirillum and Rhizobium, which convert nitrogen gas in to usable nitrate. Nitrogen fixers also will increase plant growth as they produce vitamins, auxins, and gibberllins. Nitrogen fixers give a boost to seedlings germination and overall yield.

Phosphate solubilizers made up of Bacillus megaterium and Pseudomonas striata, which will dissolve fixed tricalcium phosphate in to the usable form monocalcium phosphate. These little guys also produce organic acids (citric acid, lactic acid), hormones, and enzymes which will help in nutrient uptake and general plant vigor.

Frateuria aurentia, a Potash mobilizer, is a beneficial bacteria that will seek out Potash near the root zone and bring it to the roots of the plant. It is great for low K soil, or coco, since coco is known to "hold" K.


Mycorrhizae. This product has 50 spore colonies per gram of each of the following endo mycorrhizae:

-Glomus intraradices
-Glomis mosseae
-Glomis aggregatum
-Glomus clarum

ROOT PACK:

The root pack is composed of many different species each one in the concentration of 5 billion organisms per gram.

-Pseudomonas flourescens: This is a saprophyte that creates colonies in water, soil, and on plant tissue. It will suppress plant diseases by acting as a systemic (a unique ability). Once it enters the vascular system of the plant, it actually produces antibiotics which prevent fungal and bacterial diseases from taking hold.

-Bacillus subtilis: Bacillus is best applied to young plants and seedlings, so that it can take hold and colonize on the developing root system. Here, it will offer protection by limiting the growth of fungal organisms like fusarium.

-Trichoderma viride/ harzianum: Trichoderma is a beneficial fungus, that will seek and destroy other fungi in the soil/media. The presence of trichoderma will also cause the plant to activate its own SAR (stimulated auto response), which in turn causes the plant to boost its own immune system.

-Paecilomyces lilacinus: This fungus will seek and destroy the harmful nematodes in soil. It effectively terminates eggs, babies, and adults. -Bacillus spp.: This bacteria supresses other fungi and bacteria that cause scab, powdery mildew, sour rot, downy mildew, and early leaf spot, early blight, late blight, bacterial spot, and walnut blight diseases.
-Bacillus licheniformus: Produces an antibiotic that acts against fungi. It may also produce an anti-fungal enzyme. Effective against many types of fungi, especially those that cause leafspot and blight diseases
-Bacillus Azotoformans: Capable of respiring nitrate, nitrite, nitric oxide, and nitrous oxide under anaerobic conditions. This is part of the one or all nitrogen cycles.

-Bacillus megaterium: "One of the largest Eubacteria found in soil, and hence the name “mega” means “relatively big” is a common soil saprophyte. A saprophyte is an organism, especially a fungus or bacterium, that lives on and gets its nourishment from dead organisms or decaying organic material. Saprophytes recycle organic material in the soil, breaking it down into in simpler compounds that can be taken up by other organisms. Bacillus Megaterium are also found in chains where the cells are joined together by polysaccharides on the cell walls and synthesizes a capsule composed of both polypeptide and polysaccharide. Bacillus Megaterium is also able to survive in extreme conditions such as desert environments due to the spores it forms." -(http://www.gardeningrhythms.com/OnLineShows/Soil/MicroBio/BioBacteriaDescription.html)
-Bacillus coagulans: This bacteria secretes organic acids which dissolve phosphate into a soluble form and make it available for plants to absorb. (http://www.gardeningrhythms.com/bacillus-coagulans/)
-Paenibacillus polymyxa: N fixing bacteria.
-Streptomyces griseus: Antibiotic
-Streptomyces lydicus: Antibiotic
-Rhodopseudomonas palustris: Photosynthetic bacteria
-Rhodospirrilum rubrum: Photosynthetic and nitrogen fixing bacteria
-Bacillus polymyxa
-Bacillus ceres
-Bacillus macerans
-Bacillus mycoides
-Bacillus laterosporus
-Bacillus brevis

FOLIAR PACK:

The foliar pack is designed as a 100% safe, non chemical spray for insect control. It contains the following species at 5 billion organisms per gram each.

-Bacillus thuringiensis: for the destruction of caterpillars and fungus gnat larvae.
-Beauveria bassiana: will control a number of pests such as termites, thrips, whiteflies, aphids, and beetles.
-Metarhizium anisopliae: will infect spittle bugs and weevils, and thrips.
-Verticillium lecanii: will infect and kill aphids, whiteflies, rust fungi, and scale.
-Paecilomyces: will effectively eradicate many pests, including several species of spider mites
-Bacillus spp: for control of powdery mildew
-Rhodopseudomonas palustris- photosynthetic bacteria
-Rhodospirillum rubrum-photosynthetic bacteria
-Saccharopolyspora spinosa




Please feel free to look up all of these organisms on wikipedia where there is a full description much longer than those listed here.

I am in the UK and have been searching for a supplier in Europe for these bennies ,I found one on ebay with free shipping looks like the same as Caps and the guy says they are from the same lab as supplies Caps , he seem to know his stuff & promised a full refund if i was not happy with his bennies I am going to order one of each

here is his link before anyone asks http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=181139256584

Peace

^ yup, that.

also, check out Fungi Perfecti for mycorrhizae (www.fungi.com) - its Paul Stamets' company..and he definitely knows his fungi! Good prices too - especially for the spore count. BioAg VAM is also a very solid choice

Cann - Seconded. Search Stamets on them tuber-webs - If you want to be sure your rhizosphere-bioactivity-insurance comes from someone who thoroughly knows his stuff, well, take a gander and decide for yourself. I've not compared Buddy's buddy's cfus and these.

In terms of bang for the buck, CFUs (colony forming units) count. And one species of Archaea, which they're finding may be ubiquitous in almost every environment on earth and is thus probably in your soil already if you've got any other organic processes going, isn't worth an extra $20/4oz. (not referring to anything that's been said by Buddy H., just something I've seen in some 'high end' [expensive] supplements - just b/c it can be isolated and included in a product, doesn't mean it's worth your money)

Other ramblings aside, the foliar is interesting. The only product I've heard of being used similarly would be EM 'effective microorganisms'. I've never used that myself, and I don't know that its species are strictly selected for foliar application, so something that surely is sounds worth looking into.

Also appreciate your including what information you could about each species. I put some hours in a while back, from a discussion w/ Cann actually, trying to build a rundown on some commonly product-included symbiots, and it became an exercise in wading through disparate or inscrutably academic papers that I could tell would take waaay more time than I honestly had. So, especially knowing the slog that must have been - Thanks Buddy!

Headtreep - ...maybe I'm missing something. Looks like BioAg sells fulvic and humic acid supplements. I'm not seeing anything about microorganisms. If they've got the best deal on a good product, awesome, but it kind of sounds like we're comparing apples and oranges.
+ Ah, HT, could this be it? The "Ful-Power" supplement is produced using microbes and mentions assisting nutrient bioavailability. Maybe I'm reading it wrong, but I don't believe that suggests their supplement is an innoculant. They use the microorganisms to produce the fulvic acid, then probably refine it, autoclaving it at some point and killing any microbes at that point. Otherwise, I think they'd probably use it as a selling point - "Here's your fulvic acid, and btw, this stuff will even keep producing it as you go!"

BioAg VAM check it out on that website with all their products. I have and used most including Caps so I know from personal experience.
