Biocat 1000 or Residue Digester
Product Description
Biocat 1000 is a liquid biological fermentation product designed to be sprayed on post-harvest residue accelerating decomposition of cellulose and lignin materials such as corn stalks.
Effect
Accelerates decomposition of cellulose and lignin materials. Stimulates the growth and metabolism of naturally occurring microorganisms that break down organic compounds, such as cellulose, lignin, sugars, starches and proteins.
Benefits
- The natural process of organic decay returns nutrients back to the soil in forms the plants can use.
- Enough stalk residue is left for soil cover, but won't cause problems at planting, even in no-till operations.
- Crop ground can be pastured after sprayed because Residue Digester is a non-toxic product.
- One of the best solutions to control volunteer corn.
