BioArsenal BioMass - Turns Crop Residue Into Fertility
Accelerate residue breakdown, build organic matter, and recycle nutrients with BioArsenal BioMass — the biological soil primer for next-crop ROI.
What Happens to All That Residue?
After every harvest, fields are blanketed with crop residue—corn stalks, wheat straw, cotton stems, and leaves. Most farmers don’t burn it. They leave it on the ground, where it can take 8–12 months to decompose on its own. During that slow process, valuable nutrients like nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium escape into the atmosphere or get locked up in undecomposed stalks. The next crop waits—and the fertilizer bill grows.
BioArsenal BioMass changes that story. It jump-starts the natural decomposition process, turning leftover residue into usable plant nutrition in weeks—not months—while building organic matter, humic carbon, and microbial activity that strengthens the soil for the long run.
The BioArsenal BioMass Advantage
Accelerates Decomposition – Microbes in BioMass rapidly digest cellulose, hemicellulose, and lignin, transforming tough stalks into soft, soil-ready organic matter.
Releases Locked-Up Nutrients – Each acre of residue contains the equivalent of up to 160 lbs of urea, 52 lbs of DAP, and 150 lbs of MOP. BioMass helps recover those nutrients for the next crop.
Delivers ROI Up to 4× Product Cost – By recycling nutrients already in your field, BioMass pays for itself—fast.
Improves Soil Structure & Carbon – Microbial polysaccharides and fungal hyphae act as natural glues, binding soil particles and storing carbon where it belongs—in the ground.
Boosts Water Retention – Every 1% increase in organic matter can hold 20,000–25,000 gallons more water per acre, improving drought tolerance and reducing runoff.
Supports Soil Health – The diverse microbial community fixes nitrogen, solubilizes phosphorus, mobilizes potassium, and suppresses harmful pathogens naturally.
100% Biological – No chemical NPK, no synthetic residue burners—just a pure, soil-based microbial consortium with a natural dextrose carrier.
From Residue to Healthy Soil
1️⃣ Residue
Post-harvest stalks, leaves, husks, and roots remain on the surface—our target feedstock for rapid biological recycling.
2️⃣ Microbial Breakdown
Selected bacteria, fungi, and actinomycetes produce cellulases, hemicellulases, and ligninases to digest tough plant fibers fast.
3️⃣ Nutrient Release
Locked-up N, P, and K are mobilized from residue; humic substances form, supporting efficient nutrient cycling for the next crop.
4️⃣ Healthy Soil
Stable aggregates, higher organic matter, and better water-holding capacity create a resilient root zone and stronger early growth.
Instead of residue sitting idle all year, you get active biological decomposition that improves the next crop cycle and pays back immediately in soil value.
