NovoTec888 is a CFIA-approved Organic ready-to-use liquid concentrate, containing a proprietary blend of Bacillus strains, formulated to increase crop yield, suppress pathogens, shorten harvest cycles, and lower operating costs in farms.
2. How does NovoTec888 work?
The beneficial bacteria in NovoTec888 colonize the root zone, solubilizing nutrients such as phosphorus, calcium, and iron while producing enzymes and metabolites that stimulate plant growth and suppress harmful microbes.
3. What are the main benefits of using NovoTec888?
NovoTec888 helps growers increase yield and crop uniformity, protect against pathogens, reduce biofilm buildup, and lower input costs—all while supporting cleaner, chemical-free, and more sustainable production.
4. Which crops can NovoTec888 be used on?
It is suitable for a wide range of crops, including leafy greens, herbs, tomatoes, peppers, cucumbers, berries, mushrooms, and ornamentals. It performs effectively in hydroponic, aquaponic, and conventional soil systems.
5. How is NovoTec888 applied?
NovoTec888 is a ready-to-use liquid concentrate. It can be applied directly through irrigation lines, fertigation systems, nutrient tanks, or root drenches, and is compatible with most fertilizers and micronutrient programs.
