Tomatoes
Tomatoes that taste better sell better! The Brix rating or score measures a tomato’s sweetness. “Brix” describes sugar or soluble solids content in the food industry. Tomato plants, whose seeds have been treated with Beauveria bassiana (Bb), have been shown to increase the Brix rating by seven points! The tomato plant and Bb form a mutually beneficial bond lasting through the growing process.
The natural benefits of Beauveria bassiana can be gained without chemical applications or by plant genetic modification.
The use of Beauveria bassiana is a managerial practice that has significant benefits in today’s agriculture and gardening environment.
Increase Brix Rating
The Beauveria bassiana in SPE 120 and SBb 2.5 is a PLANT isolate and is considered beneficial fungi.
Seed and Soil Products Protect & Strengthen Plants as They Grow
Direct contact with seed is preferred to assure plant entry at germination. Applied on, under, or atop of seed allows Beauveria bassiana competitive preference to initial plant roots where it becomes a symbiotic entophyte within the plant.
