VitaSoil's Microbial Ecosystem

_______

A multi-kingdom microbial community designed to support soil function and plant vitality

________________

VitaSoil® is a plant-based soil regenerator that supports natural soil biology. It provides organic carbon, minerals, and living microorganisms that participate in nutrient cycling, root-zone function, and long-term soil health across diverse cropping systems.  

Bacteria, Fungi, and Archaea each perform different but complementary roles in soil. Together, they support nutrient efficiency, root interaction, and soil resilience across horticulture, nursery production, turf, forage, and agricultural systems.

Plant Growth Promoting Bacteria

PGPB

NUTRIENT-CONVERTING & ROOT-DRIVING BACTERIA

What They Deliver:

  • Convert nitrogen, phosphorus and carbon into plant-available forms
  • Increase availability of present nutrients tied up in organic matter
  • Stimulate root initiation, branching and overall root mass formation
  • Support biological competition that suppresses soil-borne pathogens

WHY IT MATTERS:
More usable nutrition, stronger root systems, and reduced yield loss from nutrient inefficiency and disease pressure.

Plant Growth Promoting Fungi

PGPF

ROOT-EXPANDING & DISEASE-COMPETING FUNGI

What They Deliver:

  • Expand effective root surface area through fungal networks.
  • Improve phosphorus and micronutrient acquisition.
  • Build soil structure that supports sustained root growth and plant resilience.
  • Competes with and limits colonization of pathogenic fungi.

WHY IT MATTERS:
Larger, healthier root systems with improved access to nutrients and water, and reduced vulnerability to root-zone diseases.

PLANT GROWTH PROMOTING ARCHAEA

PGPA

NITROGEN-STABILIZING & STRESS RESILIENT ARCHAEA

What They Deliver:

  • Drive key nitrogen transformations, including ammonia oxidation.
  • Stabilize nitrogen cycling under low oxygen, saline, or compacted soils.
  • Maintain biological function during environmental stress.
  • Support consistent nutrient availability when bacterial activity slows.

WHY IT MATTERS:
More predictable nitrogen behavior and biological stability across variable field conditions.
