Abiotic refers to the non-living physical and chemical components of an environment, such as sunlight, water, temperature, and minerals, which influence living organisms.

A scientifically developed blend of natural, biologically active ingredients designed to enhance soil health, plant growth, and nutrient availability.

Atmospheric nitrogen refers to nitrogen gas (N₂) present in the Earth’s atmosphere, which makes up about 78% of the air. While plants cannot use nitrogen in this form directly, certain microbes can convert it into usable compounds through nitrogen fixation.

BC2 stands for Biosecurity Containment Level 2.  A certification or accreditation standard, (that in the instance of Neutrog) refers to the capacity of the laboratory to undertake work using human and animal pathogens, along with samples from overseas.

Nutrients, both simple and complex, which are available for the use by plant, animal or microbial cells without significant further alterations or decomposition.

A biological inoculant is a preparation containing beneficial microorganisms, such as bacteria or fungi, applied to soil or seeds to promote plant growth, enhance nutrient availability, and improve overall soil health.

Biologically activated refers to soil or substances enriched with active microorganisms, promoting enhanced nutrient cycling, organic matter breakdown, and improved plant health.

Biotic refers to all living components of an ecosystem, including plants, animals, fungi, and microorganisms, which interact and sustain ecological balance.

Humic acid is a natural organic compound found in decomposed plant and animal matter. It enhances soil fertility, promotes nutrient retention, and improves water absorption in plants.

A proprietary product or formula designed to invigorate plant and soil health by enhancing nutrient availability and microbial activity for optimal growth.

The process of freeing essential nutrients from organic or inorganic compounds, making them available for plant uptake (bioavailable). This often involves microbial activity, breaking down complex materials.

A microbe is a microscopic organism, such as bacteria, fungi, archaea, or viruses, that exists in nearly every environment.

Microbial (pronounced my-crow-be-al) refers to anything related to these organisms, particularly their roles in ecosystems, such as decomposing organic matter or supporting plant growth.

A microbiome is a community of microorganisms, including bacteria, fungi, archaea and viruses, living in a specific environment, such as soil, plants, or the human body, influencing its health and function.

The temporary reduction of available nitrogen in the soil, often caused by microorganisms using nitrogen to decompose carbon-rich organic matter.

The process by which nutrients move through the ecosystem, involving decomposition, absorption, and transformation by plants, animals, and microorganisms, maintaining ecological balance.

Organic refers to materials derived from living organisms, free from synthetic chemicals or pesticides. In agriculture, organic practices emphasise natural growth processes, fostering environmental sustainability and healthier ecosystems.

A measure of acidity or alkalinity in a substance, such as soil or water, on a scale of 0 to 14. A balanced pH level is crucial for optimal nutrient availability and plant growth.

Probiotics are live microorganisms that provide health benefits to their host when consumed or applied, such as improving gut health in humans or enhancing soil and plant health in agriculture.

To convert a substance into a soluble form, making it easier to dissolve in water. This term often refers to nutrients made available for plant absorption (bioavailable).

Microorganisms with specialised roles, such as fixing nitrogen, decomposing organic matter, or solubilising nutrients, to support plant health and soil fertility.
