BIOBIZZ can inspire growers to embrace organic farming

And this brand, which was founded thirty years ago in Groningen in the Netherlands, is certainly doing well! From its very beginnings, when it was a purely family business with a small product range, to the present day, when it has grown into a company operating in 70 different countries, the DNA of BioBizz products has remained the same. The same applies to the brand philosophy, which is evident from the headline of today’s article, focused on another popular manufacturer producing both quality substrates and organic fertilisers and nutritional supplements for growing plants indoor and outdoor.

The best for people, without anything harmful to the Earth

Biobizz products can be found in almost all countries in Europe, North and South America. South Africa and Australia are no exception. At Biobizz World Wide Organics, they believe that it is high time for agriculture to leave the laboratory and take root again primarily in the soil. The company therefore tirelessly supports sustainable agriculture and seeks to emphasise the importance and potential of ecological self-sufficiency. In short, it aims to prove to the world that everything of plant origin can be obtained through purely natural means, while at the same time minimising the impact on the planet. Every time you use Biobizz fertilisers, you can be sure that no harmful element will contaminate the surrounding waters or contribute to the decimation of wildlife in the surrounding nature, while you enjoy your healthy plants and abundant harvest. Few companies in this sector can boast as many certificates as BioBizz.

However, Biobizz does not limit itself to merely “preaching” about ecological self-sufficiency, but also leads growers by example. Proof of this is the greenhouse located not far from the main production centre, which perfectly closes the imaginary circle, from the input ingredients used in production and the use of the resulting products for growing plants all the way to their processing or consumption. This greenhouse also serves as one of the important checkpoints through which BioBizz fertilisers and substrates pass. It is a great way to transfer know-how into practice and see straight away how the products work. Practice is practice, but so that you know what to expect, the following lines should bring the complete Biobizz range closer to you for a clear overview.

Biobizz believes that the health of plants and people is equally important. The products of this brand contain no artificial additives, synthetic pesticides or harmful heavy metals. The manufacturer prides itself on using exclusively 100% certified natural ingredients of controlled origin, so that the harvested produce is not only characterised by excellent, natural flavour, but is also safe and genuinely beneficial to the health of everyone who ultimately consumes it.

100% ORGANIC BIOBIZZ SUBSTRATES

All Biobizz substrates are among the absolute top quality on the market. Now it is only a matter of which one you will make best use of.

Biobizz and growing in soil

Basic substrates

Biobizz produces a total of 3 organic soil substrates, and it mainly depends on the preferred level of pre-fertilisation:

• All Mix is a perfectly balanced and easy-to-use, heavily pre-fertilised soil mix, sold in both 50-litre and smaller 20-litre packs.
• The best thing about this substrate is that, thanks to its composition, it creates an optimal growing environment for your plants practically for you. Less experienced growers swear by it, because it removes a lot of worries at the start of the growing cycle, when young plants are still very sensitive to nutrition.
• The heavily pre-fertilised growing substrate All Mix consists of sphagnum peat moss (20%), garden peat (35%), worm castings (10%), original Pre Mix (5%), and a 30% addition of perlite ensures sufficient aeration of the substrate.
• If you want great results and easy use when growing in pots - All Mix is an excellent choice.
• Instead of mineral salts such as magnesium or sulphates as substances contained in synthetic fertilisers, All Mix contains only natural elements characterised by the ability to self-regulate in terms of maintaining the substrate pH within the correct range.
• Light Mix is a lightly pre-fertilised growing substrate, preferred rather by more experienced users who no longer need the nutrients contained in the substrate to last their plants for several weeks and, in terms of fertiliser application, instead prefer greater, earlier control. It is again available both in the classic 50-litre version and in a smaller 20-litre bag.
• The nutrients contained in Light Mix are there to quickly kick-start micro-life at the beginning of the growing cycle, because water works with the soil and produces organic catalysts that develop root structures.
• Light Mix was also specially blended to ensure optimal drainage throughout the growing area, which is an essential feature if you use automatic watering systems!

Natural soil improvers and revitalisers

• Worm Humus is worm castings, which in essence represent a high-quality organic compost containing a wide spectrum of bioavailable nutrients. When growing in open ground (outdoor), growers use it as a common fertiliser. You can also use it to improve the properties of the substrate or to revitalise it. You will be very pleasantly surprised by how your plants respond to this natural nutrition!
• Pre Mix is a biological fertiliser in powder form - a blend created for transplanting, first-time growing or for reusing substrates. Why? It reliably ensures trouble-free plant development. This means rapid growth, abundant flowering and extraordinary resistance to pests or the most common fungal diseases of plants. Pre Mix effectively combines the properties of various organic fertilisers and, in one practical, versatile pack, contains important organic nutrients and trace elements, rock dust and friendly fungi.

Biobizz and growing in coco

Coco Mix is a 100% organic, light and airy coco substrate of the highest quality, widely used indoors and outdoors. Compared with the soil mixes mentioned above, it contains no nutrients, and is therefore closer to inert growing media used in hydroponics. This is also linked to its ability to retain water with nutrients perfectly, which must be supplied to plants grown in this substrate from the very first week of the growing cycle. Coco Mix also excels in its ability to maintain neutral pH, yet we still recommend not underestimating ongoing measurement of pH.

100% VEGAN BIOBIZZ FERTILISERS

Biobizz is undoubtedly a brand that proves ecology and fantastic harvests can go hand in hand without any problem. Whether we are talking about basic fertilisers or specific nutritional supplements, the common feature of all products is their universal use for the needs of plant cultivation in a grow box as well as in the garden or in the field. Biobizz fertilisers can be used when growing herbs, fruit or vegetables in soil and in coco, as well as in inert growing media (rockwool, etc.). The basic and supplementary BioBizz fertilisers also work well with self-watering and hydroponic systems.

Thanks to the purely organic composition of all nutrition products, even complete beginners are more likely to achieve beautiful harvests, and they need not fear plant damage as a result of over-fertilisation, which is one of the most common beginner mistakes. In any case, there are also detailed dosage tables with a clear breakdown of the dosage of each fertiliser. With these, together with the extraordinary quality of all BioBizz products, your dream organic harvest is literally within reach!

Basic nutrition for growth and bloom

• Biobizz Bio Grow: Natural fertiliser for impressive growth in all developmental stages of the plant, based on an organic extract from Dutch sugar beet, also known as vinasse. Despite the “grow” label, this liquid growth fertiliser can therefore be applied throughout the entire growing cycle, and in all types of soil. Just wait until the plant reaches at least 10 cm in height and the first leaves appear. The vinasse mentioned above is formed entirely naturally by fermentation as a by-product of the conversion of sugar beet or sugar cane into sugar. The starches contained in the sugar are then treated with enzymes to create glucose, which, together with other plant nutrients, is a rich source of food for soil microbes, thereby increasing their population in the soil. The soil thus becomes more productive and therefore more fertile. Natural sugars combined with potassium support the so-called micro-life, or the activity of beneficial bacteria living in the substrate.

• Biobizz Bio Bloom: Natural fertiliser representing ideal nutrition for plants from which you expect the formation of abundant flowers or tasty fruits. The optimal ratio of the basic nutrients N-P-K also shows that this liquid basic fertiliser is intended for the flowering stage. In addition to nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium, Bio Bloom also contains enzymes and amino acids. Valuable trace elements and phytohormones have also been added, helping to create a vigorously flowering plant with a strong stem. This fertiliser works on its own and can be applied from the beginning of flowering until harvest.

Bio Grow and Bio Bloom together form a perfect pair of basic fertilisers of purely natural origin, which growers have found effective for indoor and outdoor cultivation of plants of all kinds. Some ecological growers then swear by the power of the sea, which you can also use directly in your flowerpot (see below)!

• Biobizz Fish Mix: This natural liquid growth fertiliser is a unique blend of organic fish emulsion from the North Sea and organic Dutch sugar beet extract. Not only does it again work excellently as basic nutrition for plants grown in soil, but it also stimulates the production of microorganisms and beneficial bacteria in coco-based substrates. In line with the manufacturer’s philosophy and strict requirements for ecological agriculture, Fish Mix is not acid-extracted or stabilised with a synthetic preservative (BHT - butylated hydroxytoluene) – a synthetic preservative. Here are a few more reasons why Fish Mix is a frequent choice for many organic growers:
• It can be used on all types of plants, both at the beginning of growth and later during flowering until harvest.
• After a few days of use, it turns poor-quality soil into nutritious soil rich in natural minerals, which plants usually crave so much.
• Its composition is also gentle enough for young plants (clones, cuttings) and even in early developmental stages.
• During the vegetative stage it is also commonly used as a foliar spray.

Natural Biobizz nutritional supplements

Revitalising preparation and growth stimulator Alg A Mic

A 100% natural way to relieve plants from stress! It may sound a little funny or surprising, but stress also significantly harms plants. This is discussed, among other things, in a separate article on abiotic stress in plants. In connection with this information, it will probably no longer surprise you that happy, content plants also produce larger flowers and fruits.

So whether your plants have had to deal with transplanting, over-fertilisation or, conversely, a nutritional deficiency (see the separate article: Symptoms of a Deficiency of Important Nutrients), temperature fluctuations and possibly some disease, Alg A Mic will help them significantly! It contains a 100% organic seaweed concentrate, extracted by cold pressing. And seaweed has been harvested for plant nutrition purposes for more than 5,000 years!

Root stimulator Root Juice

The first step towards an amazing harvest! In soil, coco, but also when using a hydroponic system or an aeroponic system. For a long time, it has been one of the most popular and best natural root boosters on the market, combining seaweed with premium humic acid.

If you would first like to learn something about root stimulators in general, we have prepared a separate article on this topic for you: Root stimulator - what is it for?

Flower stimulator Top Max

 Fine-tune all the tones of taste and aroma to the edge of perfection! Biobizz offers growers three reasons to choose the supplementary fertiliser Topmax as an additive for luxurious flowers and fruits:

• It contains ingredients that maximise the final size and weight of the flower clusters. The most significant role here is played by fulvic and humic acids.
• It improves plant metabolism and the absorption of important nutrients during the flowering stage.
• Experience clearly shows that crops grown with the help of this natural flowering booster are juicier inside and stand out for their delicate flavour.

100% organic metabolic stimulator Bio Heaven

Your plants will experience true nirvana, and the harvest will look accordingly! What is our bold claim based on?

• This universal organic booster contains no nutrients, and for that reason it perfectly complements other nutrition from Biobizz.
• It contains only carefully selected biological stimulants, especially amino acids – the basic building blocks of proteins and enzymes, which are essential for proper metabolism and plant structure.
• The specially created energy booster Bio Heaven also acts as a powerful antioxidant. This means it removes harmful toxins from the plant.
• The microorganisms living in the soil warmly welcome carbonic acid, of which the organic booster Bio Heaven is an excellent source.
• Bio Heaven also restores chlorophyll production.
• Biobizz Bio Heaven can be added to watering during the growth and flowering stages, but it can also be applied as a foliar spray.
• “Heavenly” booster for your plants can be used from the very first week of the growing cycle in a grow tent as well as when growing plants outdoors. It is truly universal, and therefore also suitable for various hydroponic systems or, for example, self-watering pots.

100% bio activator Acti Vera

It is known that Aloe Vera has a beneficial effect on human skin. So at the Biobizz development centre they asked why not try its effects on cultivated plants as well, in the spirit of the philosophy “plants for plants”? The result is this perfectly universal biological plant support preparation with Aloe Vera extract, suitable for all growing methods, which will in any case give your plants a real boost, whether you are growing herbs, fruit or vegetables. How does its effect on plants of all kinds manifest itself?

• It breaks down sugars and speeds up the plant’s metabolism.
• It supports the plant’s natural biochemical processes.
• It improves the absorption of important nutrients.
• It strengthens the plant’s immune system, making it much more resistant to various pests or diseases, including mould.
• In short, when using Acti Vera, plants are stronger and healthier, both inside and out.

Supplementary fertiliser based on calcium and magnesium Biobizz Calmag

What water do you use to water your plants? Deionised water from reverse osmosis (RO), or tap water, where you cannot rely on it containing the right balanced concentration of important minerals? Calcium and magnesium are essential elements for proper plant growth and flowering, as they play a key role in cell production and photosynthesis. That is why the range of almost every manufacturer often includes the frequently overlooked yet very often needed products of the CAL-MAG type CAL-MAG. There are two main reasons why many professional and home growers choose Biobizz Calmag:

• A 100% organic and certified solution to calcium or magnesium deficiency.
• The natural ingredients together form a composition that does not unnecessarily disrupt or alter the established plant nutrition regime.

Bio protection against pests and temperature changes Leaf Coat

Forget pesticides! You will save money and nature. This 100% organic spray, as a fully fledged and environmentally friendly alternative, strengthens and reliably protects plants against the effects of insects or mould in many ways. Leaf Coat also provides your plants with effective protection in adverse weather, whether they are troubled by heat or, conversely, cold:

• If the air your plants breathe is too humid and its temperature rises above 28 °C, the protective layer that Biobizz Leaf Coat creates on the surface of the leaves will work perfectly. The natural latex layer helps the plant breathe freely and prevents it from “sweating”, i.e. excessive water loss due to high temperatures.
• When temperatures fall, typically during the winter months, the protective film that Leaf Coat creates on the surface of plant leaves helps maintain a sufficient leaf temperature. 

The original plant protection preparation is made from natural latex, which was originally developed to prevent water evaporation. It creates a permeable, self-degrading barrier on plant leaves, allowing light and air to pass through. The protective layer is applied to the leaves in the form of a spray, which, unlike chemical preparations, has a pleasant odour. It is also important that the plant leaves do not absorb the product, so it does not affect the final flavour of the fruits in any way. This product does not need to be diluted with water, so it is ready for immediate use with a sprayer during the vegetative and flowering stages, in a grow tent and in your garden. Within a few hours after application, a very thin elastic layer 1.5 microns thick forms on the leaves, and its beneficial effects last for up to two weeks until it naturally decomposes.

A complex blend of beneficial microorganisms for maximally effective organic plant cultivation - nothing less is hidden behind the simple name Microbes / Microbes:

This completely unique additive is designed to concentrate the pure power of nature inside your flowerpot and help you achieve truly exceptional yields in harmony with nature and with regard for the environment. At first it may seem a disadvantage that it is not among the cheapest products, but in terms of price and performance it is undoubtedly among the most interesting products available on the plant nutrition market! It is therefore worthwhile for anyone who wants to achieve the best possible results through natural means when gardening at home or outdoors. These are the main reasons why it is worth adding Biobizz Microbes to the brand’s basic nutrition:

• In terms of composition, it is an extra concentrated blend - a complete consortium of microorganisms (see the verification analysis below), enzymes and beneficial fungi including the well-known Trichoderma, positively affecting plant development throughout the entire growing cycle.
• Microbes improves the flow and uptake of basic nutrients and micronutrients. And better nutrient absorption means a much more interesting final yield. 
• It also stimulates the germination process and the initial growth of seedlings, and later helps the plant during the flowering stage as well.
• It demonstrably increases the root surface area and supports the rhizosphere - the immediate surroundings of plant roots, including the beneficial microorganisms found there.
• Some of the beneficial microbes contained excel in their ability to stimulate the production of phytohormones, led by gibberellins and indole-3-acetic acid. 
• BioBizz Microbes can be used both indoors and outdoors. It does not matter whether you water your plants by hand or use automatic watering systems.
• Verification analysis of microbes:
• Trichoderma harzianum > 10,000,000 CFU/g
• Bacillus valezensis > 500,000,000 CFU/g
• Bacillus megaterium >200,000,000 CFU/g
• Bacillus pumilus > 250,000,000 CFU/g
• Bacillus licheniformis > 500,000,000 CFU/g

Biological pH regulators: Biobizz Bio Up (Bio pH+) and BioBizz Bio Down (Bio pH-)

Adjusting the pH of the substrate is essential so that your plants are able to absorb the maximum amount of nutrients. But it can also be done without using aggressive products with a negative impact on soil micro-life. Instead, use organic acids and the purely natural composition of pH adjustment products, which work excellently together with other Biobizz products. They work perfectly for any type of plant, without the pH adjustment of the substrate requiring damage to beneficial microorganisms!

• Biobizz Bio Up (Bio pH+) is an organic product based on humic acids that can be used with every watering during the growth and flowering stages, in all types of substrate, to increase the pH value.
• BioBizz Bio Down (Bio pH-) is an organic product for lowering the pH value in the form of an aqueous solution of citric acid, obtained naturally from citrus fruits.
