Agricultural biostimulants include diverse formulations of compounds, substances, and micro-organisms that are applied to plants or soils to improve crop vigor, yields, quality and tolerance of abiotic stresses.
Biostimulants foster plant growth and development throughout the crop life cycle from seed germination to plant maturity in a number of demonstrated ways, including but not limited to:
- Improving the efficiency of the plant’s metabolism to induce yield increases and enhanced crop quality;
- Increasing plant tolerance to and recovery from abiotic stresses;
- Facilitating nutrient assimilation, translocation, and use;
- Enhancing quality attributes of products, including sugar content, color, fruit seeding, etc;
- Rendering water use more efficient;
- Enhancing soil fertility, particularly by fostering the development of complementary soil micro-organisms.
What distinguishes biostimulants from traditional crop inputs?
- Biostimulants operate through different mechanisms than fertilizers, regardless of the presence of nutrients in the products.
- Biostimulants differ from crop protection products because they act only on the plant’s vigor and do not have any direct actions against pests or disease.
- Crop biostimulation is thus complementary to crop nutrition and crop protection.
Vitazyme represents a breakthrough to larger, more profitable crop yields, and healthier plants while promoting a more sustainable approach to agriculture. Standard chemical approaches have helped spur the 20th-century farming revolution, but have created potential toxicity problems for farmers, consumers, and the environment. In addition, these inputs are expensive and have driven many farmers to reconsider their approach. Vitazyme helps alleviate these difficult environmental and production challenges while increasing profits.
What is Vitazyme?
Vitazyme is an all-natural liquid biostimulant, consisting of particular biological activators that are created through a proprietary fermentation process. These active agents include vitamins, enzymes, triacontanol, and other powerful but gentle growth stimulators.
Agriculture in the future must emphasize the use of biological systems, and not rely solely upon chemical approaches, to achieve long term soil productivity. Vitazyme promotes soil life by working with the natural ecosystem to invigorate rhizospheric activity.
Vitazyme is one of the most profitable inputs you can use in your agricultural operation. You always get a return on your investment, whether it comes from better quality parameters that command a higher market price or sheer yield increase or both. Starting any crop with Vitazyme can greatly enhance the plant’s ability to uptake nutrients giving them the boost they need to launch them into growth. One to three more treatments throughout the crop cycle can greatly enhance the plant’s ability to reach its genetic potential.
Vitazyme is certified by both BCS and OMRI

Vitazyme is an all-natural liquid “biostimulant” for soil organisms and plants that contain certain biological activators, which are by-products of a proprietary fermentation process. These active agents include vitamins, enzymes, and other powerful but gentle growth stimulators such as B-vitamins, triacontanol, glycosides, and porphyrins.
Vitazyme, used within the context of a common-sense management system, will help the farmer overcome many of his production problems. While not a “magic bullet,” it helps the entire system work better.
Vitazyme – Organic Biostimulant Concentrate is for home use 1/2 tsp./gallon of water for watering-in and 1 oz/gallon of water for garden foliar applications. Can be tank mixed with anything using any type of spray equipment and can be used through irrigation as well. 100% water-soluble and non-toxic.
Agriculture of today must emphasize the use of biological systems — not strictly chemical approaches — to achieve long-term soil productivity.
The product promotes soil life by conforming with natural laws, by encouraging natural predators to control insect and nematode pests, by promoting more intensive biological nitrogen fixation, and by stimulating natural rhizosphere organisms to produce needed plant growth factors.

- Various glycosides (glucose derivatives)
- Salicylic acid or salicylates
- Amino acids such as methionine and others
- Nucleic acid remnants or precursors
- Nucleotides, especially adenine but possibly others
- Gallic acid
- Glucuronic acid
- Various enzymes
Benefits to Soils
Soil structure, so critical for air and water movement through the soil to facilitate root growth and nutrient uptake, is improved by Vitazyme in at least four ways:
- Increased root growth (more root channels).
- More polysaccharides to glue particles together; only 0.2% more polysaccharide can markedly improve structure.
- Improved mycorrhizae activity (creating sac-like structures)
- Greater earthworm activity, their burrows create channels for air and water. Water infiltration is increased, and runoff and erosion are consequently decreased. Compaction is reduced so roots can freely explore the soil for nutrients and water, increasing yields.
How Vitazyme Benefits Plumeria
Vitazyme will increase chlorophyll first, allowing the plumeria to harness more energy from the sun. The plumeria will develop a larger and more efficient root system and working in conjunction with the microbial population in the rhizosphere will convert more nutrients from a non-uptake able form to forms that can be taken up by the plumeria. In this way, the soil system becomes more efficient and is the main reason why we say you can lower your nutrient inputs using Vitazyme. This, in part, explains the typical results of greater yield and quality measures for any crop.
- Greater root and leaf growth
- More and bigger blossoms
- Improved soil conditions
- Inexpensive, very cost-effective
- Easy to use
- Safe and non-toxic
- Can be seed-applied
- Can be tank-mixed with any liquid fertilizers, herbicides, and pesticides
- Can run through irrigation lines without clogging
Vitazyme applied through the irrigation system–drip, sprinkler, or sprayed–will accelerate growth and maturity of plumeria, in containers or in the ground. Trunk caliper will increase faster as photosynthesis and leaf area is accelerated. Vitazyme will improve the root, leaf, and flower growth.
Treated seeds will emerge faster, and seedling growth will be more vigorous. Improved chlorophyll development will give faster nutrition, deeper green colors, and more lustrous and attractive leaves. Vitazyme will also aid in the early development of flowers.
Expect better tilth and permeability in your soil with Vitazyme use.
Vitazyme Science
Vitazyme intensifies the activity of the plant-soil system. Photosynthesis is increased, so more carbon from the air is fixed into plant tissue. Energy-rich compounds produced in the leaves by this vigorous metabolism move into the root system and out into the soil, or media where billions of bacteria, algae, fungi, protozoa, and other organisms feed on this energy. The organisms, in turn, release minerals and growth stimulants for plant uptake…a beautiful symbiosis. Plant stress is reduced, removing growth and yield limitations.
Vitazyme Stimulates Rhizosphere SymbiosisVitazyme contains “metabolic triggers” that stimulate the plant to photosynthesize better, fixing more sunlight energy in the form of carbon compounds to increase the transfer of carbohydrates, proteins, and other growth substances into the root zone. These active agents may enter the plant through either the leaves or the roots. Root growth and exudation are both enhanced. This enhancement activates the metabolism of the teeming population of rhizosphere organisms to a higher level, triggering a greater synthesis of growth-benefitting compounds and a faster release of mineral for plant uptake. The plant microbial symbiosis is stimulated. |
The Enzyme Cascade EffectVery small amounts of these metabolic triggers in Vitazyme are needed to greatly improve plant and rhizosphere microbe response. This is because of the enzyme cascade effect. Successive tiers of enzymes are activated in plant and microbial tissues to yield a large physiological response from very little applied activator. In short, Vitazyme enables the plant to better express its genetic potential by reducing the stresses that repress that expression. |
Improved Symbiosis: The Secret of Vitazyme’s Action
All plants that grow in soils develop an intimate relationship between the roots and the organisms that populate the root zone. The teeming billions of bacteria, fungi, algae, cyanobacteria, protozoa, and other organisms that grow along the root surfaces—the rhizosphere—are much more plentiful than in the bulk of the soil. This is because roots feed the organisms with dead root epidermal cells as well as compounds exuded from the roots themselves. The plant may inject up to 25% or more of its energy, fixed in the leaves as carbohydrates, amino acids, and other compounds, into the root zone to feed these organisms… for a very good purpose.
The microorganisms which feed on these exuded carbon compounds along the root surfaces benefit the plant in many ways… a beautiful symbiotic relationship.
The plant feeds the bacteria, fungi, algae, and other microbial species in the rhizosphere, which in turn secrete enzymes, organic acids, antibiotics, growth regulators, hormones, and other substrates which are absorbed by the roots and transported to the leaves. The acids help dissolve essential minerals, and reduced iron releases anionic elements.
