BAC - Beneficial Anaerobic Concentrate
Beneficial Anaerobic Microbes for Soil Regeneration
BAC — short for Beneficial Anaerobic Concentrate — is a potent blend of beneficial anaerobic microorganisms designed to accelerate residue breakdown, restore soil vitality, and enhance nutrient cycling. While most anaerobic environments can stress crops, not all anaerobes are harmful. The facultative strains in BAC thrive in both oxygen-rich and low-oxygen conditions, making them ideal for post-harvest residue digestion and overall soil improvement.
This concentrated mix includes a diverse microbial consortium—Lactobacillus, Acetobacter, Pediococcus, Paenibacillus, and Pseudomonas species—each contributing unique benefits such as toxin degradation, nitrogen fixation, and pathogen suppression. Together, they convert organic matter into plant-available nutrients, reduce soil compaction, and improve structure, leading to healthier, more balanced soils. For best results, apply BAC in the fall after harvest, while temperatures remain above freezing.
Key Benefits
- Enhances residue digestion — rapidly breaks down crop residues into bioavailable nutrients.
- Suppresses soil-borne pathogens — beneficial microbes outcompete harmful organisms, improving soil health.
- Promotes nitrogen fixation — supports atmospheric nitrogen conversion for better fertility.
- Detoxifies soil — breaks down chemical residues, fostering a cleaner, more productive environment.
- Optimizes fall fertility — applied post-harvest, replenishes nutrients and primes soils for next season.
Use Recommendations
Sidedress: 64 oz – 1 gallon per acre
Foliar: 64 oz – 1 gallon per acre
Repeat foliar applications as needed, considering plant growth stages and crop requirements. Apply as a residue digester post-harvest while temperatures remain above freezing. Do not exceed recommended rates.
