The soil microbiome plays a critical role in optimizing crop yields, nutrition, and stress resilience. To assess the impact of StimBlue+ on the microbial pathways essential for wine grape development, we partnered with Biome Makers, a leader in assessing soil health at scale. Through their rigorous analysis, we examined the influence of StimBlue+ on soil microorganisms and their functions, providing incredible insights into how our product enhances soil health and vine performance. The tests were done on the vineyards of Domaine J. de Villebois.
Testimonial from BiomeMakers:
"With StimBlue+, we saw a unique boost in nutrient availability. Even through foliar application, BeCrop analysis confirmed these effects across fields, highlighting the reach and effectiveness of this biostimulant" Juan Rebori, BiomeMakers
