Diverse
It’s diverse, with 129,000 species, and can be used on any crop, plant or tree. One gallon contains roughly the same number of microbes as 2000 lbs. of worm castings!
EcoTea™ is a 3-part mix’n’go system that is easy for farmers, economical, improves soil health and helps increase yields.
The beneficial microorganisms in EcoTea™ consume harmful herbivores and pathogenic organisms but does not harm beneficial insects. As well the microbes compete for the space and resources with harmful bacteria and pests, thus inhibiting their presence. Stronger and healthier plants are better suited to resist the attack of pest insects. Also, in the presence of pathogens, several of our microbes have the ability to produce small amounts of antibiotics to fend off the disease.
Many agricultural soils are under stress from chemical fertilizers, pesticides, herbicides and fungicides. These chemicals eliminate much of the soil biodiversity and under these conditions micro-invertibrate, bacterial and fungal pests are able to proliferate. EcoTea re-introduces the beneficial microorganisms into the soil and restores it to a more natural, healthy form.
The nutrients present in soil must be in particular forms in order for plants to benefit from them and many are locked up in humic materials within soil aggregates. Humic materials are processed by bacteria and protozoa unlocking the stored nutrients, Nitrogen in particular, into forms useful to plants. The beneficial organisms in EcoTea feed on substances naturally present in the soil, unlocking them for plant use as required by plants.
Our microorganisms release micro-nutrients, plant hormones and enzymes into the root zones, readily available for plant uptake. In return, the plant releases sugars into the surrounding soil as a fuel source for microbes. By utilizing these hormones and enzymes, plants do not need to expend energy creating them and in turn can focus on more vigorous growth.
When synthetic nutrients are added to soil, nothing holds them in place. With irrigation and rainfall, nutrients often swiftly drift below the root zone rendering them useless to plants. Nutrient leaching contributes to ground water contamination in areas of intense agriculture and leads to soil acidification. EcoTea microbes extend the reach of the plant roots making use of nutrients applied.
EcoTea™ will naturally improve the structure of your soil via microbial, fungal and invertebrate action. This allows oxygen to move into and through the soil. It allows plants to easily move their roots through the soil. Many of our fungi attach to the root hair and can increase the reach of the plant roots. They act as micro highways for the bacteria to travel from the nutrient source back to the plant root. It improves moisture retention which is a key component in microbe function. It improves your soil’s ability to deal with erosion and compaction.

Probiotics for the soil
EcoTea is a biological soil amendment that helps to build and replenish the beneficial microbial community in soil and plant root systems. The organisms found in EcoTea will cause an immediate improvement in root biomass and function, creating stronger more vigorous plant. This product is 100% organic and contains no human pathogens.
EcoTea is designed for easy integration into existing management programs. Our customers have been able to reduce pesticide and fertilizer applications using EcoTea properly. EcoTea is one part of a regular fertility and integrated pest management program. A GREAT TOOL IN THE BOX!
You can use EcoTea™ on any crop, plant, or tree to increase the biodiversity of microorganisms in the root zone, soil and leaf surface.
Healthy soil structure is essential for the growth of healthy plants. EcoTea™ will naturally improve the structure of your soil via bacterial and fungal activities. Good soil structure allows oxygen to move through the soil. Oxygen is essential for the maintenance of the healthy, vibrant biodiversity in soil.
Ultimately, if used in a regular program EcoTea™ will aid your plants in producing larger, more numerous, tastier, more fragrant and longer lasting flowers and fruits.
