Product Portfolio Overview
MetaGrow microbial inoculants all have extremely high populations (> 5 billion per drop) and diversity (> 20,000 species). They are suspended in water, and are in stasis - so they are storable and stable for more than a year, yet are ready to use and easily mixed and applied.
The MetaGrow production process assures there are no pathogenic microbes, while growing very high populations. We use thermophillically composted green waste, with no manure or human food waste, then feed earthworms to further break down the compost. Our microbe culture includes species collected from a variety of habitats all over the world. The MetaGrow process includes a highly aerobic phase, to avoid development of anaerobic microbes. Products are also tested for human pathogens, and certified free of e.coli and salmonella. MetaGrow microbial inoculants are compliant with the FSMA (Food Safety Management Act) and are used by many California vegetable producers.
Most MetaGrow products were first registered in California as CDFA-Organic Input Materials. That state required registration as fertilizers without microbial guarantees. Some other states require microbial inoculants to be registered as soil amendments. Some states have accepted the California labels; other states have accepted the Soil Amendment labels.
MetaGrow 5X+ was registered first with OMRI, with microbial guarantees. It is not available in California. MetaGrow D-Comp is being registered with OMRI.
