With so much phosphorus in the soil being unavailable to crops, growers look for solutions to increase efficiency in their phosphorus fertilizer applications. SYNTHOS® nutrient enhancer is a phosphate solubilizer and your choice for a highly effective phosphate-solubilizing plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR).
As a PGPR product, SYNTHOS is designed to optimize crop growth by producing enzymes and organic acids that improve solubilization and release bound nutrients. This process is made possible by Bacillus spp., the bioactives that work to create growth metabolites, which promote a more robust root system and improve nutrient and water uptake. Because it’s so adept at solubilizing phosphate-based fertilizer into readily available forms for uptake and use in a variety of crops, SYNTHOS has become a must-have for any operation who needs improved phosphorous availability to crops.

A research study conducted across five locations in Western Canada in 2021 showed that MAP fertilizer treated with SYNTHOS led to an increase in the amount of phosphorus taken up by the plant compared to untreated MAP at 15 and 45 lbs/P2O5 acre.
A research study with two trials in Canada in 2021 showed MAP treated with SYNTHOS increased canola yield by 3.2 bu/acre and 3.3 bu/acre at the 30- and 45-lbs P2O5/ac rates respectively versus untreated MAP.
As a PGPR product, SYNTHOS increases nutrient use efficiency by improving soil health. Growth-stimulating bacteria help resolve issues occurring from phosphorous tie-up and have a positive effect, including nitrogen fixation, solubility of phosphorus fertilizer, mineralization and decomposition of crop residue. Whether you’re applying a phosphorous-based fertilizer for wheat, soybeans or other crops, SYNTHOS helps more nutrients become available to the crop and improves crop adaptability and promotes crop growth. Together, these positive effects go a long way in helping growers save time and money in the field.
SYNTHOS releases phosphorus tie-up and increases phosphorus uptake to improve early season growth.
Bacillus spp., the bioactive in SYNTHOS, produces enzymes and organic acids that improve the solubilization of phosphorus fertilizer into plant-available forms. They also promote growth metabolites that encourage a more robust root system, improving nutrient and water uptake.
The mineral oil-based formulation of SYNTHOS acts as a dust suppressant and helps with reducing particle buildup during storage, blending and spreading.
SYNTHOS has a unique formulation designed for treating fertilizer that increases nutrient efficiency by improving soil health and making nutrients useful for plants, improving plant adaptability and promoting plant growth.
Applying SYNTHOS is simple. It’s formulated to impregnate bulk dry fertilizer and can be applied banded.
SYNTHOS can be stored for two years before microbial viability is compromised, extending the window for application. It is also viable on fertilizer for up to 18 months, depending on storage conditions.
Phosphate fertilizer uses may vary from farm to farm, but one fact remains true for all. Gaining a better understanding of what keeps phosphorous tied up—and how SYNTHOS can help—is a smart first step to getting crops the nutrients they need to thrive.
Phosphorus plays a critical role in crop production, as it’s used for energy storage and transfer and is vital to the crop’s growth. However, due to its low mobility within the soil and its relative insolubility, the risk of phosphorus deficiency is heightened. Bacillus spp., the bioactives in SYNTHOS® nutrient enhancer, can help improve the solubilization of phosphorus fertilizer into plant-available forms, allowing increased nutrient uptake.
SYNTHOS, a plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) product, has a unique formulation containing five specific strains of Bacillus in the form of colony-forming spores. These bacteria colonize the crop’s roots, or rhizosphere, and produce organic acids and enzymes. This improves the solubilization of phosphor us fertilizer into forms accessible to the plant, releasing bound nutrients. The bacteria also produce growth metabolites that promote a more robust root system, therefore improving nutrient and water uptake and optimizing the crop’s growth.
Two factors influence the amount of phosphorus taken up by the plant:
The bioactives in SYNTHOS® nutrient enhancer — Bacillus spp. — produce enzymes and organic acids that improve the solubilization of phosphorus fertilizer into plant-available forms and release bound nutrients. These bioactives also produce growth metabolites that promote a more robust root system, improving nutrient and water uptake, which optimizes crop growth.
PGPR SYNTHOS is a plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) product that helps improve a plant’s adaptability to abiotic or biological stresses. PGPRs are free-living soil microorganisms that inhabit the rhizosphere or plant roots during plant growth and development. SYNTHOS contains live microorganisms, which when applied to plant surfaces, seeds, roots or soil, colonize the rhizosphere or the interior of plants, and help to improve soil fertility. They also stimulate plant growth by increasing the availability of plant nutrients and growth substances to the host crops.
SOIL & PLANT PHOSPHORUS Phosphorus (P) is the second-most widely deficient nutrient in soils. Minerals comprising the parent material of many soils are low in phosphorus and require special fertilizers to help release nutrients. Phosphorus also forms compounds of very low solubility in the soil, and is contained in smaller amounts compared to nitrogen (N) and potassium (K).
Phosphorus plays a critical role in plants, as it forms organic compounds and is also mobile within the plant itself. It’s used for energy storage and transfer and is critical for early vigorous growth. This element also stimulates root and tiller development, assists in disease resistance, promotes reproduction (maturity and seed formation), and accumulates in the seed for future use.
