CONSORTIUM™ – Smarter Biology for Stronger Crops
Modern agriculture demands solutions that work with natural systems, building resilience and unlocking nutrition under challenging conditions. CONSORTIUM™ is exactly that solution—a carefully selected microbial consortium of Plant Growth Promoting Rhizobacteria (PGPRs) designed to deliver measurable improvements in plant nutrition, rooting, soil health, and stress tolerance.
The Power of Microbial Synergy
Unlike single-strain products, CONSORTIUM™ harnesses multiple synergistic Bacillus species. Micro-organisms perform best as a team; when combined strategically, they enhance each other’s survival, adapt effectively to environmental stress, and create self-supporting biological systems.
The strains used are sourced from accredited repositories and refined through selective cultivation, ensuring consistent performance and reliability.
Unlocking Nutrition Where Plants Need It Most
Much of the nutrition applied to soils becomes chemically locked up. CONSORTIUM™ actively addresses this by:
- Converting locked-up nutrients into plant-available soluble forms.
- Improving root access to phosphorus, nitrogen, and micronutrients.
- Enhancing nutrient uptake efficiency for stronger early vigour and sustained growth.
Stronger Roots. Bigger Canopies. Better Yields.
CONSORTIUM™ stimulates robust root development, enabling plants to explore greater soil volumes and access water more efficiently. By enhancing plant physiology, it directly supports uniform crop development and protects yield potential across all agricultural systems.
Built for Stress – Designed for Real-World Conditions
Agricultural environments are rarely ideal. CONSORTIUM™ is designed to thrive under heat, drought, and nutrient stress:
- Drought Tolerance: Enhanced root systems and improved soil structure.
- Pathogen Suppression: Bacillus species outcompete harmful organisms for space and resources.
- Biological Defence: Production of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) that help inhibit pathogen development.
Rebuilding Soils for Long-Term Productivity
Healthy soil is the foundation of profitable farming. CONSORTIUM™ contributes directly to soil function by promoting structural stability, enhancing water infiltration, and actively supporting soil carbon cycling and organic matter transformation.
Flexible, Practical, and Easy to Use
CONSORTIUM™ fits seamlessly into existing farm practices and is tank-mix friendly.
Application Methods: Direct to soil, soil drench, or foliar application.
Application Rates: Typically 200–1200 ml/ha, depending on crop, timing, and scenario.
Note: As with all biology, performance is optimised when applied alongside a suitable food source to ensure rapid microbial activation.
Why Choose CONSORTIUM™?
- ✔ Healthier crops and more efficient nutrition
- ✔ Improved stress and drought tolerance
- ✔ Stronger, more resilient soil ecosystems
- ✔ Reduced pressure on synthetic inputs
CONSORTIUM™ delivers biology that works—today and for the future.
CONSORTIUM™ supports plants in the most sustainable way possible, naturally and in synergy. Straightforward and easily mixable, it can be applied as a direct-to-soil application, soil drench, or foliar application. Applications vary between 200–1200ml/ha depending on scenario and, as with any biology, is best applied alongside a food source.

Specific Application Guidance:
- Soil Drench: Increase water rates or apply during light precipitation to ensure CONSORTIUM™ is washed into the rootzone as necessary.
- Foliar Application: To ensure effective application, use an adjuvant or wetter (such as NURTURE N or SPRAYFIX) to adhere spores to the leaf surface.
General Requirements:
- • Use as part of a good agronomic programme (INM strategy).
- • Consider weather conditions at time of application.
- • DO NOT APPLY in dry conditions or in strong UV light.
- • Soil compaction and water-logging will affect efficiency.
- • Contact your AIVA FERTILISER Nutrition Consultant for advice.
