We are a small group of scientists with a deep appreciation for the natural world, and how it can teach us if we pay close enough attention.
For over 20 years we have been researching the symbiotic relationship between plants and microbes. We are fascinated by how very different species can cohabitate, and become dependent on one another for survival. Over time we've learned the more harsh the environment the more important this relationship becomes. The more we learned the more interested we became in studying this symbiotic lifestyle.
Globe Trotting
Our discoveries that microbes allow plants to tolerate more extreme growing environments got us traveling to some dynamic places around the globe. We wanted to know how plants were able to thrive in various harsh growing conditions. We were able to isolate the microbes from the plants and put the plants back in the ground. Without their symbiotic microbes the plants died! It was a remarkable finding ... the microbes allowed the plants to live in some very harsh environments.
Moving Microbes
As our understanding evolved, we learned that some symbiotic microbes could be transferred from one plant species to another. We found we could transfer the benefits the microbes conferred to any plant we tried them in. This allowed the plants to tolerate their own local stresses better. For example, hot dry growing conditions, low-nutrient or salty soils, and freezing temperatures to name a few.
BioArmor is Born
Recognizing the potential of ‘nature’s stress tolerance system’, we started using these microbial symbionts in our own gardens. We started seeing increased yields and higher stress tolerance in our own plants. We continued by verifying these initial observations with larger field and greenhouse trials, and as we continued to see successful results we knew we wanted to share it with other gardeners.
After years of research BioArmor was born in 2020.
