Biosys
One Powder, Many Benefits!
A thriving garden starts with a rich, diverse biological ecosystem. Biosys makes it easy with its all-in-one microbial tea. This powder activates quickly—in just minutes, not days, combining beneficial bacteria, friendly fungi and natural growth enhancers to boost plant health, ramp up nutrient absorption and strengthen resilience against environmental stresses like drought and transplant shock.
Simply mix it into water and apply—it's really that easy! No need for pumps, air stones, or complex equipment. Whether you're using soil, coco, or hydroponics, Biosys integrates seamlessly, providing a comprehensive microbial solution that nurtures robust growth from the seedling stage all the way to harvest.
**NEW IMPROVED FORMULA**
The consistency of our Biosys powder has been enhanced to deliver even better results. We've upgraded the catalysts: humic acids, fulvic acids and seaweed extract.
These ingredients are now incorporated into a finer-grade powder, creating a more homogeneous blend. This ensures that every scoop, whether small or large, contains an even and consistent mix of the complete formulation.
You’ll notice that Biosys has a slightly darker colour and a consistent fine texture. It dissolves much faster in water, leaving less sediment.

Why Ecothrive Biosys Stands Out
The Microbial Magic of Biosys: When it comes to describing how Biosys works and what it actually does, we could literally write books on the subject! (And, if you’re really interested, we highly recommend reading “Teaming with Microbes” by Jeff Lowenfels.) Here’s a quick overview of the key components of Biosys and how they confer massive benefits to your plants
Endo Mycorrhizal Fungi: There are no fewer than eight species of Endo Mycorrhizae in Biosys. These beneficial fungi have enjoyed a special relationship with many plants for millions of years. The fungi works by spreading itself through the growing media, gathering water and nutrients through its fungal network. When the fungi finds compatible plant roots, it establishes “exchange sites” within the plant root cells called “arbuscules”. This connection facilitates an ingenious “symbiotic swap” whereby the plant gives the fungi surplus sugars (manufactured in the leaves and translocated to the roots) in exchange for access to more water and nutrients that were previously inaccessible. Plants benefit from increased growth rates and drought resistance. The mycorrhizal fungi also helps to improve the soil texture while spreading water and nutrients throughout the growing media as well as transporting them directly to the plant.
Beneficial Bacteria: To complement the work of the mycorrhizae, we add often overlooked mycorrhizae helper bacteria. These include several bacillus species and a nitrogen fixing bacteria called “Azospirillum'' that are known to help the establishment and ongoing function of mycorrhizae. The eight species of Bacillus in Biosys aren’t just for mycorrhizae support, however, but also useful for solubilising locked up minerals and degraded organic matter, inhibiting the growth of potential pathogens and promoting vigorous root growth.
Biosys also contains another species of nitrogen fixing bacteria called Azotobacter, as well as Azospirillum. Both these microorganisms live close to the root surface and fix nitrogen from the air before transforming it into a form the plants can use. These incredible microorganisms afford growers the opportunity to reduce their reliance on nitrogen inputs.
There are also two species of Pseudomonas that help with the degradation of complex organic matter and assist with pathogen control. Some of the Bacillus, Pseudomonas and Nitrogen fixers are also classed as plant growth promoting rhizobacteria. These clever organisms have evolved to produce hormone substances such as cytokinins and auxins to promote growth and root development.
No—we’re not even done yet! We’ve also included two species of Trichoderma: Trichoderma are a highly sought-after beneficial fungi that are particularly well adapted to degrading other fungi, particularly the unhelpful (pathogenic) kind. Think of Trichoderma as security guards for your plant roots. They exist as free living organisms that help to prevent root disease as well as assisting greatly in the degradation and cycling of organic matter.
Finally, we included a broad spectrum of microbial catalysts and plant growth promoting inputs: Humic acids, amino acids, enzymes, yeasts, proteins, carbohydrates and seaweed extract. With so many benefits from one easy-to-use powder, it’s no wonder that growers who try Biosys never grow without it again!

FAQ
What is Biosys?
Biosys is a powder that growers can mix with water to create an instant microbial tea. This ‘tea’ effectively combines beneficial bacteria, mycorrhizal fungi and natural growth stimulants that can be quickly and easily watered into container plants and beds. Biosys ‘instant compost tea’ enhances soil and plant health by improving nutrient and water uptake, increasing root function and promoting robust growth.
How do I use Biosys?
It really couldn’t be easier to use Biosys! Simply mix 0.5-1 gram of the powder per litre of water. If making larger quantities, create a concentrate first by dissolving 10 grams in 500 ml of tepid water, then diluting in the required amount of water. Apply this solution directly to the soil or root zone of your plants.
Can Biosys be used with any type of water?
Yes, Biosys can be mixed with any type of water, but it performs best with dechlorinated water since chlorine can harm the beneficial microbes in Biosys. You can dechlorinate tap water by letting it stand for 24 hours, using an air pump and air stone for 1-2 hours, or adding a few drops of Neutralise to dechlorinate instantly.
Is Biosys suitable for all growing media?
Absolutely! Biosys can be used with various growing media including soil, coco and hydroponic systems. It is versatile and effective in different cultivation setups from indoor pots to outdoor open soil.
When is the best time to apply Biosys?
Biosys can be used at any stage of the plant's life cycle but is particularly beneficial during seedling or cutting propagation, after transplanting and during periods of stress recovery. For ongoing maintenance, apply every 1-2 weeks indoors and every four weeks outdoors.
How often should I apply Biosys?
For best results, reapply Biosys every 1-2 weeks throughout the indoor growing cycle and every four weeks for outdoor plants. Adjust the frequency based on the specific needs and response of your plants.
What makes Biosys different from other microbial products?
Biosys is unique because it activates instantly, creating a powerful and beneficial microbial network in just minutes. It includes a diverse array of microbes and natural growth stimulants that work synergistically to enhance plant growth and resilience.
Can I use Biosys with other fertilisers?
Yes, Biosys can be used alongside other fertilisers. However, ensure that the total electrical conductivity (EC) of the nutrient solution does not exceed 1.5 mS to avoid harming the microbial activity.
Does Biosys have a shelf life?
Yes, Biosys should be stored in a cool, dry place and used within 24 hours once mixed with water. The powder itself has a shelf life, typically around two years when kept sealed and stored properly. Always check the expiry date on the packaging and ensure the container is sealed after each use to maintain its efficacy.
Where can I buy Biosys?
Biosys is available through our various retail partners including indoor grow shops, gardening centres, online marketplaces and directly through our website.
