Hygrozyme Hygroben - 500 mL - Microbial Root Inoculant

Five-Strain Root Zone Inoculant - 500 mL Bottle

A sterile or depleted root zone leaves plants with fewer beneficial organisms working for them. Hygroben adds five Bacillus species to the root zone, and the manufacturer states they are physiologically compatible and work together. It is made in an ISO 9001 certified production facility.

The 500 mL bottle suits growers who want to trial a microbial inoculant, run a small indoor space, or add it to an existing feeding routine before buying more.

Key Features & Benefits

• Five Bacillus species — B. licheniformis, B. subtilis, B. pumilus, B. amyloliquefaciens and B. megaterium give the root zone a diverse microbial population.
• Stated concentrations — the label lists 1.0 x 108 CFU/mL for two species and 5.0 x 107 CFU/mL for the other three.
• ISO 9001 certified facility — production follows a recognised quality management system.
• Broad plant suitability — the manufacturer lists ornamentals, vegetables and flowering plants.

Who Should Use Hygrozyme Hygroben

Hydroponic and soil growers who want to add beneficial microbes to the root zone during vegetative growth or flowering. It fits hobby and small-scale indoor cultivation as a single bottle.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What is a root inoculant?
A: A root inoculant is a product containing live beneficial microorganisms that you apply to the root zone. Hygroben uses five Bacillus species for this purpose.

Q: What does CFU/mL mean?
A: CFU stands for colony-forming units, a count of viable microbes per milliliter of liquid. A higher figure means more viable organisms in each mL.

Q: Which plants can I use it on?
A: The manufacturer lists ornamentals, vegetables and flowering plants. Check local rules for your crop and region before use.

Q: Can I use it in hydroponic systems?
A: It is a root zone product, and root zones exist in both hydroponic and soil cultivation. Follow the label for dosing and application method in your system.

Q: How does it differ from a standard nutrient?
A: A nutrient supplies minerals directly to the plant. An inoculant supplies living microbes to the root zone, so it complements rather than replaces your feed program.
