Azosprillum is a bacteria that fixes nitrogen and it is not in our Microbe
Tea product nor is it in our BioVam product. We do have other nitrogen
fixing bacteria in our Microbe Tea product (Azotobacter and Rhizobium) along
with several other species of bacteria.

Perhaps on the telephone call the azosprillum and azotobacter were confused.
I am sorry it is not really in there afterall.

Whats up all. Gata love those microbes. A little detail about Azospirillum. Its growth promoting capabilities are not connected to nitrogen in the soil. Its a plant hormone called IAA that the littel guy synthesizes and delivers in to the plant root. That causes the roots to change, they grow way more root hairs and promote root lateral root growth.
I asked a company who sells azospirillum about the bacteria. Here is part of the e mail:
Azospirillum is making it’s grade globally; already prevalently at home use in India, Israel, Arab states, China, Brazil and the Philippines, along with other nations, its creating quite the agricultural spur. Over two decades in development, Azospirillum is now known for increased yields in “real world” field conditions often by
five to twenty percent. Increasing yields results in a decreased need for costly fertilizers, which has spurred the United Nations to vouch for Azospirillum’s assistance in poor countries where a fluctuation in fertilizer cost can result in starvation, especially amid the poorest subsistence farmers.
Upon originally discovering Azospirillum, it gained praise for its capacity to supply a form of nitrogen that plants can without difficulty use. Certainly this was the reason that the beneficial bacteria yields were superior to of the control groups. However, in the up to date years study has exposed the increased growth and overall plant vigor is not connected to nitrogen fixation only. Researchers in a briliant search for truth decieded not to take the easy answer that increased growth was a result of nitrogen. Azospirillum’s nitrogen-producing gene was “turned off,” yet its capability to be the source of added root mass, elevated dry weight, increased survivability, increased crop yield, and increased root hairs remained constant. One factor after another was ruled out. At this point an acknowledged truth that Azospirillum synthesizes the plant growth hormone called IAA (indole-3-acetic acid) in the field of a way which is by a long way utilized by plants. Although many scientists have tried, none hold been able to efficiently replicate Azospirillum’s supply method of IAA to the plant—a way which ensures utmost consumption by plants.
IAA increases lateral root growth and root hairs effectively boosting plants’ overall root surface area and increasing their capability to access nutrients. Furthermore, Azospirillum works symbiotically with Trichoderma and Mycorrhizae to capitalize on growth/production rates. This tripartite bond provides leverage against natural events such as soil pathogens, drought, shock, stress, and infestations. The association of these three microbes has been proven to improve farm production amongst the poorest farmers in the harshest of conditions, while delivering additional food to the stand for less than the chemical alternatives.
