Mity-Gro

Mity-Gro™, a soil microorganism is a Plant Growth Promoting Rhizobacterium, i.e. PGPR. It promotes the growth and development of plant roots and enhances their ability to absorb water and nutrients.  Microorganisms are living organisms, which are necessary for the transformation of soil nutrients. The PGPRs directly participate in the transformation of soil material to energy. They also participate in the formation of decomposition of humus. Therefore, these microorganisms greatly improve the soil fertility. Because Mity-Gro™ makes the plants stronger, yields increase via the combined effects mentioned above. In order to confirm Mity-Gro’s™ effectiveness, we have tested Mity-Gro™ on vegetables, flowers and plants.

The reprint on Organic Gardening/Farming provides an excellent overview on how to achieve a balanced soil and the associated benefits.  You can have a copy of this article sent to you automatically at your request.

Both commercial growers and home gardeners have achieved excellent results.   Mity-Gro can also be used in hydroponics applications for disease control and increased production.  Dramatic increases in growth have been documented by laboratory tests.  

From September to December 1996, Mity-Gro™ was applied to seven vegetable crops at Ju zi Fang Village in the Chao Yang district of Beijing City. The seven vegetables are muskmelon, greenhouse cucumber, tomato, strawberry, anise, Chinese cabbage and rape. In general, Mity-Gro™ promoted the growth of the tested seven vegetables and plants mentioned above. The most noted effects were: that treated plants ripped earlier(3-10 days), that yields increased between 12-30%, and that treated plants were stronger and more resistant to disease, especially on bokchoy, plus the incidence of "soft rot" disease was reduced by 15%.   You may view the complete report here.

What Results Can I Expect with Mity-Gro?

The above results have been achieved under controlled testing and also by production growers. There are many factors in plant production that fall within the skill level of the grower / manager such as light regulation, proper water scheduling and climate control to name a few. Under normal growing skills you realize most, if not all of the above benefits by using Mity-Gro

Mity-Gro is certified organic by the States of California and Texas

Mity-Gro is a friendly non-toxic organic bacteria which is 100 % environmentally safe for humans or pets. It is used to treat intestinal problems, however Mity-Gro agriculture grade is not recommended for human consumption. No precautions need be taken when mixing or applying this product.
It will not burn roots, branches, leaves flowers. Nor is it harmful to fruits and vegetables.

Applications and Cautions

In general: 1 tsp/1000 square feet or 1 jar (124 grams) / acre.

Mixing and Application: Instructions for Mity-Gro (Bacillus Laterosporus BOD Strain) for Hydroponics applications

Super Concentrate BOD strain

You are being supplied with jars of dry powder mix containing super concentrated
Bacillus Laterosporus BOD strain bacterium. Each jar contains powder weighing 124 grams.
 
To make liquid concentrate, make sure that all the mixing tools are clean and that
staff wear clean coveralls and face masks. Use a sterile plastic acontainer for storing
the mixture. Empty the contents of the Mity-Gro jar in 4 litres of sterilized water and
stir or agitate until the contents are completely dissolved. This Mity-Gro liquid mixture
is now ready for use. It has a plate count of 50,000,000 spores per millilitre +-10%.
Store out of direct sunlight at room temperature or lower (BOD spores will begin to die off at temperatures above 82 degrees Celsius-they are not affected by freezing). Keep the
container sealed or tightly closed when stored. This liquid mixture must be agitated before use as the BOD strain has a tendency to settle to the bottom of the container when left sitting for any length of time.
 
Hydroponics Application: Inject 1 litre of Mity-Gro liquid for every 10,000 litres of
water/nutrient mixture in the system (Mity-Gro is compatible with water-soluble fertilizers).
 
Ensure that the Mity-Gro is circulated to the entire root zone area covered by the 10,000
litres of hydroponics water/nutrient mixture. Repeat every 15 days, injecting 500 millilitres of Mity-Gro liquid per 10,000 litres of water mixture, until harvest.

Mity-Gro, being a Natural Organic Bacteria, may die under perilous conditions. Some chemicals may contain products that will kill off these bacteria. Compatibility test reports are available. Testing is available for chemicals not on the approved list at no cost. When you first apply Mity-Gro chemicals in the soil will not pose a problem.

Chlorine can also kill the bacillus but the normal amount found in most city water is acceptable.

Avoid spraying pesticides and fungicides directly in to the soil, but over-spray hasn't been a problem. If you use your sprayer as a "multipurpose sprayer", please thoroughly wash it before filling with Mity-Gro to eliminate any harmful chemicals.

General Notes:

Generally, benefits should be evident with 15 days of usage. Plants with major problems will take longer for the bacteria to heal, regenerate and balance growing conditions.

The process of handling and using Mity-Gro to its greatest potential is still being realized. This bacterium is successfully producing high quality plants, cutting costs and boosting production while combating destructive organisms. Growers are benefiting, why not you?
