GERMINATOR F2 in Seed Dressing - how does it work?
GERMINATOR F2 is a natural product
based on rhizosphere micro-organisms, humic
acid, extracts of algae and limestone. It
improves the biological fertility of soils, keeps
soils and plant roots healthy, vitalizes plants and
promotes plant growth by biological means.
GERMINATOR F2 contains a specific mixture
of 5 different species of beneficial spore-building
Bacillus species which only occur in soils. The
concentration of the Bacillus spp. is > 109 CFU per
g GERMINATOR F2. In addition, the product
contains > 7.5 x 106 CFU per g of the beneficial soil
fungus Trichoderma harzianum. High
concentrations of extracts of natural Hormones
Auxin and Cytokinin and humic/ Fluvic acid
(together more than 80% of the product support
the beneficial biological processes of rhizosphere
micro-organisms and improve the biological
fertility of soils, and are important for plant
growth.

with GERMINATOR F2
The micro-organisms in GERMINATOR F2 have the following benefits:
• Biologically improve soil and root health, and are antagonistic to
root pathogens
• Biologically fix air nitrogen and are involved in nitrogen
transformation processes
• Biologically make soil nutrients available in the rhizosphere
• Biologically stimulate plant growth by exudation of plant growth
promoting substances (e.g. plant hormones)
• Biologically transform organic matter (thatches) into plant
available nutrients
• Biologically improve soil structure
• Biologically improve the infectivity and functioning of indigenous
mycorrhizal fungal which are important for nutrient uptake &
transport and water relations of plants.

Standard
GERMINATOR F2 is a water soluble coarse powder. Dissolves in clean water and
establishes a concentration of 0.025% (250 g per 1000 L, or 25 g / 100 L). Agitate.
Eventually appearing small clods will disperse on their own within 5-10 minutes. Higher
concentrated stock solution can be prepared which must however be used within 6 hours.
Solutions can be applied with watering-can or by any suitable sprayer-equipment, or by
fertigation system or drip-irrigation.

Apply 5 L solution per 10 m² planting area after planting or 50 ml / plant
Spray 5 L solution per 10 m² turf or lawn
Apply with fertigation or irrigation water – use 25 g / 1000 m² area
For bar-rooted plants use 5 L for dipping 100 transplants
Can be combined with liquid fertilizer applications
In case that less water is used per area, concentrate the product higher. When large areas
are to be treated, use 250 g product per hectare, dissolve in water and spray on ground
(plants will not be harmed when getting in contact with solution). Irrigate with 10 to 20 mm
water after application to the ground or to turf so that CFU of micro-organisms are washed
into soil. It is recommended to add a non-ionic super-spreading adjuvant at 0.05%. May be
combined with insecticides; do not combine with fungicides or bactericides in the same
drench application. Repeat application every 2 weeks in greenhouses and nurseries, and every
2-3 weeks in out-doors grown vegetables, flowers etc. GERMINATOR F2 works best at soil
