The BI-AGRA™ Story
For 25 years, the BI-AGRA™/CRC 400 been recognized as one of the premier agricultural supplements on the market. The product has been successfully used for increasing growth rates, reducing diseases, and creating substantial water savings in cotton, grapes, avocados, wheat, barley, rice, citrus fruit, strawberries, and numerous other agricultural products.
Agricultural Applications
Bi-Agra(TM) products have enjoyed a long history of success in the specialty agricultural supplement industries, utilizing its cultured biological products containing various mixtures of organic and inorganic compounds, soil conditioners, and other products of biological fermentation. The cultured soil amendment product line enjoyed a loyal distributor-based following during the late 1960’s through the early 1980’s. Applications ranging from dramatic field crop performance (e.g. additional cuts from grain fields, improved soybean nitrogen fixation, and average yield increases on cotton crops) to legendary performance in the seed production and floral industries, and enhanced germination in soybeans, sorghum and sugar cane. Other key customer benefits of the agricultural products include a dramatic increase of seed germination and survival rates, less water and fertilizer usage, greener turf applications, fruit and vegetable harvests that can be picked sooner, have higher weights (42% larger strawberries, 100% larger melons, etc), and a lower mortality rate due to healthier plants.
As an additional benefit, the products are completely safe – they can not “burn” the crops, they are safe to handle, they can not overdose or kill most crops. As naturally occurring organisms they are safe to use in feed lots and carry a FDA approval for salmonella rating. They are not EPA controlled and are not genetically engineered and pose no harm to nature.
Agricultural Benefits
Fruits and Vegetables – increase in size and uniformity, exhibiting shorter growth cycles, lower water and fertilizer consumption.
Grapes – uniform crop and sugar content, less root rot and earlier harvest.
Avocados – reduced water consumption with the side benefit of reduced fungal problems.
Wheat, Barley, Oats, & Rice – extra harvest cut is a typical benefit.
Summary Results
Bi-AgraTM 100 has been shown in controlled lab tests, as well as field applications, to increase growth rates by 20% to 80% depending on the product type. In addition, mortality rates and diseases have been controlled or eliminated by using Bi-Agra-TR.

Final Note
An increasingly serious worldwide problem is the depletion of organic matter, or humus, in the soil used for growing plants. This has resulted in some soils having restricted aeration and reduced water-holding capacity. In turn, the number of beneficial microorganisms primarily responsible for the conversion of macro-nutrients, micro-nutrients and organic materials in the soil into more soluble forms that a plant can use, have been greatly reduced. The reduction of microorganisms and organic matter results in a further decrease in the nutrient storage capability of the soil, which decreases the amount of available nutrients to both plants and the microorganisms. This microbial and nutrient imbalance places undue biochemical and pathogenic stress on the plants and makes the more susceptible to disease and pests.
The problem is compounded by modern society’s increased use of marginally suitable soils for growing plants. These soils are much more sensitive to microbial and biochemical imbalances and are depleted at much faster rates.
Initially, farmers and growers attempted to solve these problems by increasing the amount of available nutrients in the soil by increasing the amounts of fertilizer and water used on the depleted soils. More and more fungicides and pesticides became necessary to protect the “stressed” plants from disease and pests, thereby further damaging the micro-flora of the soil. Under these conditions the use of fungicides and pesticides only accelerated the decrease of the natural microorganisms necessary to healthy plant life.
Soil treatments that either stimulate or augment the existing microorganisms found in various soils have been employed as far back as the last century. However, this use consisted for the most part of one or two specific microorganisms or a “grab bag” mixture of soil cultures that were not specifically identified or quantified. Some were, and are, nothing more than composted manures carrying groups of microorganisms typically found in such waste.
