PHC Colonize AG (5 lb bag) is a dry mix biological inoculant designed to:
- Increase the degree of root colonization by native or inoculated VA mycorrhizal (VAM) Fungi
- Introduce a diverse population of beneficial microbes into barren soils, to:
- Fix nitrogen and solubilize mineral phosphorus
- Recycle mineral nutrients through the breakdown of organic matter
This is not a plant food product- Greenhouse program requires approximately 1 lb. / 800 standard flats.
- Field program requires approximately 1 lb. / 4000 plants.
- Citrus and Tropical Fruit Tree Program requires approximately 1/2 lb. / acre.

Colonize AG is a biological inoculants designed to promote the establishment of beneficial plant-microbe-soil interactions in the root zone. Colonize AG utilizes a dual strategy acquired from Nature.
First, it is a microbial inoculant containing numerous strains of rhizosphere bacteria and fungi that fix nitrogen, solubilize phosphorus, and recycle mineral nutrients through the breakdown of organic matter. These include spores of select strains of Bacillus and Streptomyces bacteria and Trichoderma fungi.
Second, Colonize AG contains formononetin, an isoflavonoid which increases the degree of root colonization by introduced and native vesicular-arbuscular mycorrhizal (VAM) fungi. Together, the activities of these beneficial bacteria and fungi promote plant health by improving soil fertility and plant nutrition in the natural way.
Application rates are as follows2-part Packaging: Colonize AG is shipped with a 2-part packaging consisting of one large packet, and one smaller 'D' packet, taken together forming one-half pound. Both packets must be mixed in the same tank.
- GREENHOUSE PROGRAM
Plug Drench Treatment 1-Lb mixed with 100-gallons of water to treat 800 standard flats. Drench 1 week after seeding, and again 7-10 days before shipping to the field. - FIELD PROGRAM
Plant Water Treatment: 1-Lb per 100 gallons, applying 3-oz per plant.
Drip Irrigation Treatment:1/2-Lb (one large packet and one smaller 'D' packet) per 7260 linear feet of plant bed, or 1.1-oz for each 1000 linear feet. For best results, repeat application at 2-3 week intervals throughout the season. - CITRUS AND TROPICAL FRUIT TREE PROGRAM
Drip Irrigation Treatment: 1/2-Lb (one large packet and one smaller 'D' packet) per acre. For best results, apply with a surfactant, such as Yuccah Liquid Wetting Agent and repeat application at 2 to 3 week intervals throughout the season.
Colonize AG is compatible for use with fertilizers, pesticides, biostimulants, wetting agents, or mycorrhizal fungi. Add Colonize to the tank after chemical products have already been diluted.
