MICROMIX:
BIOTECHNICAL NOURISHMENT
INTRODUCTION
Micromix accelerates development by providing optimal nourishing conditions, which considerably reduces the stresses usually encountered by plants. Plants with larger, fleshier, more abundant leaves, stimulate a higher quantity and quality of produce. The growth gap of stressed, overworked land can be regained and surpassed in an extremely short period by Micromix.
DISEASE PREVENTION
Diseases in plants occur in situations in which the soil has become imbalanced, nutrient deficient and suffers from exhaustion. Micromix corrects imbalances and deficiencies in the soil, allowing the plant to restore its health. A healthy plant can synthesize its own anti-cryptogamic substances and antibodies (i.e phytoalexins). This fact, together with Micromix microorganisms actively competing against pathogens reveals a synergetic series of physical, chemical and biological reactions that intercept pathogens.
INCREASED CHLOROPHYLL PRODUCTION
Micromix promotes an increase in the abundance and size of leaves. It directly stimulates the production of chlorophyll, which in turn builds up the number of chloroplasts while increasing their efficiency. The following are a direct result:
- Cells are larger
- Cuticles are thicker and stronger
-
Lymphatic vessels get bigger, letting the lymph circulate easier thus consuming less energy
-
Plant fibers expand in size. Plants are greener and healthier
DEFENSE AGAINST PHYTOPHAGOUS ATTACKS
Micromix treated plants combat insects’ masticatory damage by quickly converting the sugars in their lymph to alcohol making it toxic to most insects. Cell membranes and cuticles covering the leaves’ epidermis are thicker and stronger. All the plant’s parts are tougher, giving them better protection from insect attack which, in turn, helps to control the phytophagous insects’ local population levels. In short, a plant which receives Micromix can intensify its defense system by combining an effective biochemical solution with a robust physical resistance.
STRENGTHEN ROOT SYSTEMS
Micromix improves the efficiency of active root hairs, saving plants the energy they require creating new roots. Moreover, roots in the presence of Micromix have increased life spans, further conserving energy which can now be redirected to the aerial parts of the plant (leaves, flowers etc). When root hairs die, they excrete toxins warning other root hairs not to seek nutrients in that micro-habitat. Micromix quickly detoxifies the micro-habitat, breaking down the old roots and converting them to nutrients, preparing the area for new capillary elements to grow. The fact that new roots don’t need to explore for nutrients, is a saves plants a lot of energy.
BREAKS DOWN WASTE & RESTORES SOILS
Microorganisms consume organic matter for energy; the nutrient elements within that matter are then returned as “waste” back to the soil. The result is rich top soil known as humus, from which plants can absorb nutrients very easily. Humus is the best fertilizer in the world and plants have been evolving for millennia growing in it, since it is the best source of nutrition. Micromix contains all the essential micro and macro elements plants require. Learn more about hummus here: https://kissthegroundmovie.com/

What Is Micromix?Micromix is the basis for all Micronomix formulations. It is a biological soil amendment classified as an enzyme. It is composed of 45+ different species of beneficial bacteria, fungi and supporting elements which completely break down any organic material into the stable organic matter called Humus, restoring soil to “Garden of Eden” quality.
-
What is the Technology behind the Micronomix Micromix Line of Products?The basis for the Micronomix Product Line is Micromix. This natural organic solution was inspired by the vermi-compost found in earthworms. It is highly aggressive and capable of quickly and effectively eliminating pathogenic organisms and organic toxins that it comes into contact with. It is highly competitive and withstands attacks from other organisms, which allows it to continue to work at its highest efficiency rate. The Micromix process involves full aerobic decomposition and anaerobic fermentation.
-
Under what conditions are Micromix formulations effective?They are effective in wide range of pH levels, salt and fresh water, and temperature range.
-
Is Micromix a “green”, sustainable product?"Yes, at Micronomix LLC we treat environmental remediation holistically. We examine the root cause of the imbalances and provide a fine-tuned protocol to restore the elements to their natural state. Because of the unique nature of Micromix®, it can be applied under any circumstance and will continue to work until all the waste elements have been converted into humic matter and recyclables. The micro-organic constituents of Micromix® allow it to be utilized within the most sensitive ecosystems providing significant environmental and economic benefits to the customer through on-site remediation. The end result is a nutrient-rich, fully-restored fertile soil, contaminate free water, and recyclable constituents.
-
What is Humus?Humus is fully composted compost and is achieved through the humification of organic matter as it passes through the stomachs of certain beneficial microbes. The process of “humification” can occur naturally in soil, or in the production of compost when a natural selection of microbes is present. Chemically stable humus provides fertility to soils in both physical and chemical senses, as well as providing important disease suppressing properties. It helps the soil retain moisture by increasing micro porosity and encourages the formation of good soil structure. The incorporation of oxygen into large organic molecular assemblages generates many active, negatively charged sites that bind to positively charged ions (cations) of plant nutrients, making them more available by ion exchange. It allows beneficial soil organisms (microbes and animals) to feed and reproduce.Humus is often described as the “life-force” of the soil. Yet, it is difficult to define humus in precise terms; it is a highly complex substance, the full nature of which is still not fully understood. Decomposing organic matter is a rough-looking material, with coarse plant remains still visible. Humus is uniform in appearance (a dark, spongy, jelly-like substance) and amorphous in structure, and may remain such for millennia or more. Humus sequesters carbon indefinitely, it also sequesters water making it available to the plant in drought conditions. That is, it has no determinate shape, structure or character. However, humified organic matter, when examined under the microscope without any chemical treatment, may reveal tiny but clearly identifiable plant, animal or microbial remains that have been mechanically, but not chemically, degraded. Humus is clearly considered an integral part of soil organic matter.Plant remains (including those that passed through an animal gut and were excreted as feces) contain organic compounds: sugars, starches, proteins, carbohydrates, lignans, waxes, resins, and organic acids. The process of organic matter decay in the soil begins with the decomposition of sugars and starches from carbohydrates, which break down easily as detritivores initially consume the dead plant, while the remaining cellulose and lignins break down more slowly. Simple proteins, organic acids, starches and sugars break down rapidly, while crude proteins, fats, waxes and resins remain relatively unchanged for longer periods of time. Lignin, which is quickly transformed by white-rot fungi, is one of the main precursors of humus, together with by-products of microbial and animal activity. The humus that is the end-product of this manifold process, is thus a mixture of compounds and complex life chemicals of plant, animal, or microbial origin, which has many functions and benefits in the soil. Earthworm humus (vermicompost) is considered by some to be the best organic manure there is. Ideally, a healthy soil will contain 5% humus or more.

-
Is Humus Stable?Compost that is readily capable of further decomposition is sometimes referred to as effective or active humus, though scientists would say that if it is not stable, it is not humus at all. This kind of compost, rich in plant remains and fulvic acids, is an excellent source of plant nutrients, but of little value regarding long-term soil structure and tilth. Stable (or passive) humus consisting of humic acids and humins, on the other hand, is so highly insoluble (or so tightly bound to clay particles and hydroxides) that it cannot be penetrated by microbes and, therefore, is greatly resistant to further decomposition. Thus, stable humus adds few readily available nutrients to the soil, but plays an essential part in providing its physical structure. Some very stable humus complexes have survived for thousands of years. The most stable humus is that formed from the slow oxidation of black carbon, after the incorporation of finely powdered charcoal into the topsoil.
-
Can Micromix be exported / imported worldwide?Yes, Micronomix products are classified as a microbial enzyme soil supplement and can be shipped worldwide, tax-free, because it is derived from food-grade quality ingredients.
-
What is the shelf life of Micromix?Micromix products have a shelf life of 5-10 years if stored properly – out of direct sunlight, above freezing temperatures, and under 120 degrees temperature.
-
How long does the Micromix solution stay active once activated by water?The Micromix colonies require oxygen and a food source to maintain sustainability. Our products become active when added to water and the organisms multiply at an extremely high rate – 4 times 10 to the 8th power. It is recommended the solution be used within 5-7 days after activation with water.
-
How are Micronomix products applied?They are applied via any liquid disbursement method, such as irrigation or a sprayer.
-
Are Micromix products expensive?Micromix products are very cost-effective. When applied to soil, fertilizers can be reduced 30% – 50% the first year and 64% the second year, therefore the cost of the product is immediately covered by the reduction in other production expenses. The need for pesticides/insecticides will decrease as plant immunity increases. Watering requirements will go down as humus is built in the soil – approximately 25% over time. Increased yield and quality of produce will garner premium crop prices. The bottom line will be largely increased by using any Micromix application on a regular basis.
