Supporting plants growing in drought and heat

Karner Düngerproduktion focuses on the research and production of plant growth-promoting bacteria (PGPB). They use BioFlo® 120 controllers in product development for fermentation optimization of PGPBs, as well as in the first step of production itself. They serve as seed fermenters for technical production, in which the living bacteria are added to liquid fertilizer applications at the end. The goal is to naturally help plants grow and thrive under adverse environmental conditions such as drought and heat.
