PlantWorks is the UK’s resource for bio-fertilsers. Products are developed by a qualified group of microbiologists and horticulturalists and through collaboration throughout the UK’s academic base. PlantWorks is the Uk’s only mass producer of mycorrhizal fungi and is one of Europe’s largest manufacturers, based at Kent Science Park and NIAB EMR. The company currently produces in excess of 150 tonnes of high grade inoculum every year and is managed by a core group of scientists with expertise in mycology, bacteriology and crop production.
Beneficial soil microbes play a critical role in the acquisition, ‘renaturing’ and transfer of soil nutrients into plants. Biofertilisers (microbial biostimulants) comprise living micro-organisms which, unlike traditional fertilisers multiply as they enter the ground, act to increase Nutrient Use Efficiency (NUE) of plants.
In a world where input costs are rising and soil health is rightly being championed, building soil biology is a very practical way to reduce fertigation and improve soil structure and carbon capacity.
