Terra Biosa Starter Culture – Microorganisms for Soil & Agriculture

The Terra Biosa Starter Culture 10 l is a concentrated fermentation culture with microorganisms for agriculture, horticulture, and soil care. It is particularly suitable for professional users and agricultural businesses that wish to activate Terra Biosa themselves and thus produce larger quantities for their own operational needs.

Terra Biosa is based on naturally occurring microorganisms, organic sugarcane molasses, and an extract of 19 organic herbs. After activation, the finished Terra Biosa can be used on arable land, meadows, in vegetable and fruit growing, in greenhouses, for composting, and for manure treatment.

Thus, the Terra Biosa Starter Culture is particularly suitable for businesses that wish to specifically integrate soil life, organic substance conversion, and an active microbial environment into their soil and farm management.

What is the Terra Biosa Starter Culture?

Terra Biosa is a liquid soil conditioner, plant conditioner, and composting agent with microorganisms. The starter culture represents the concentrated version for users who wish to activate or multiply larger quantities of Terra Biosa themselves.

The fermentation process produces organic acids such as lactic and acetic acid. The product therefore has a low pH value and a characteristic acidic environment.

Unlike Terra Biosa “Ready to use”, the Terra Biosa Starter Culture is specifically for self-activation and is therefore particularly interesting for larger areas and a regularly high consumption.

Microorganisms for soil and agriculture

Biologically active soil contains a wide variety of microorganisms. These are involved in the breakdown and conversion of organic matter and play an important role in natural substance cycles in the soil.

Terra Biosa is used to support microbial activity in the soil. The microorganisms contained promote the breakdown of organic material and thus support the release and conversion of nutrients.

In combination with organic material such as plant residues, compost, or other organic soil components, Terra Biosa can therefore be sensibly integrated into holistic soil management.

Where can Terra Biosa be used?

Arable farming and field crops

In arable farming, activated Terra Biosa can be applied to agricultural land. The application is particularly suitable in combination with soil management that focuses on organic matter, humus building, and active soil life.

Depending on the operational technology, application can take place via field sprayer, irrigation, or watering systems.

Grassland and meadows

Terra Biosa can also be used on meadows and grassland to support microbial activity in the soil and the breakdown of organic residues.

Vegetable growing and horticulture

Terra Biosa is suitable for vegetable growing, herb crops, and other horticultural crops both outdoors and under glass and plastic.

The microorganisms can be applied via irrigation water, spraying, or existing irrigation systems.

Fruit growing, berries, and viticulture

The product can also be used in fruit growing, berry bushes, and viticulture. Application is preferably on or into the soil around the plants.

Greenhouses and protected cultivation

In the greenhouse, Terra Biosa can be integrated into suitable irrigation systems. This allows microbiological soil care to be continuously combined with regular irrigation.

Terra Biosa for composting

The microorganisms contained can also be used in the composting of organic materials. The goal is a controlled microbial conversion of the organic material.

Terra Biosa can be used particularly to support breakdown and conversion processes and to produce biologically active compost.

Terra Biosa for manure treatment

Terra Biosa is also used in manure management. The microorganisms are added to the manure and can support microbial conversion processes there.

Biosa expressly lists manure treatment and odor reduction as an area of application for Terra Biosa. This allows the starter culture to be integrated not only into plant growing but also into the operational nutrient management of agricultural businesses.

Activating the Terra Biosa Starter Culture

The major economic advantage of the 10-liter starter culture lies in the possibility of activating Terra Biosa for your own needs and thus producing a significantly larger quantity of ready-to-use solution.

Activating the 10-liter starter culture

For one activation batch, the following are used:

• 10 liters of Terra Biosa Starter Culture
• 10 liters of sugarcane molasses
• 330 liters of water

From this batch, a total of approximately 350 liters of activated Terra Biosa can be produced.

For a successful fermentation process, the corresponding activation conditions and hygiene requirements must be met. The detailed activation instructions should be fully observed before starting the batch.

Terra Biosa or Starter Culture – what is the difference?

Terra Biosa Ready to use

The ready-to-use version is already fully fermented and can be used immediately for soil, plants, compost, or manure after appropriate dilution.

Terra Biosa Starter Culture

The starter culture is aimed at users with higher consumption. By activating it with sugarcane molasses and water, a significantly larger quantity of Terra Biosa can be produced from the 10-liter container for your own operational use.

This makes the starter culture particularly interesting for professional agriculture, horticultural businesses, and larger areas.

Application of activated Terra Biosa in agriculture

The specific dosage depends on the crop, soil conditions, purpose of application, and available application technology.

Market and arable farming

For agricultural field crops, Biosa recommends approximately 25 liters of Terra Biosa per hectare per application as a guideline in a 1–2% solution. One application can take place, for example, three times a year.

Greenhouses

In the greenhouse, approximately 1 liter of Terra Biosa per 1,000 liters of water can be used via the irrigation system.

Open-field crops

For open-field crops, Biosa also recommends approximately 1 liter per 1,000 liters of irrigation water.

Manure

For manure treatment, 1–2 liters of Terra Biosa per 1,000 liters of manure are used as a guideline, approximately 3–4 weeks before application.

When should Terra Biosa be applied?

Microorganisms react sensitively to unfavorable environmental conditions. Terra Biosa should therefore be applied whenever sufficient moisture is available.

• Preferably apply in the evening or in damp weather
• Do not use in strong heat and direct sunlight
• Application takes place mainly during the growing season
• In winter, the activity of the microorganisms is greatly reduced

Can Terra Biosa be combined with other inputs?

Terra Biosa can generally be used together with other suitable inputs.

It is not advisable to use it at the same time with bactericide products or products that significantly alter the pH, as these can affect the microorganisms contained in Terra Biosa.

Terra Biosa is made from:

• Water
• organic sugarcane molasses
• extract from 19 organic herbs
