How does Holganix Bio 800+ Breakdown Work?
Holganix Bio 800+ Breakdown contains an entire microbiome or community of organisms that is both abundant and diverse. In a single jug of Holganix Bio 800+ Breakdown, there are over 800 species of active microbes, microbe food, and nutrient enhancers. In addition, Holganix has spiked Bio 800+ Breakdown with powerful slow-release nitrogen.
To better facilitate the breakdown of crop residue, Holganix has tailored the microbes in this product to have heightened populations of microbes responsible for residue breakdown.
Some of these microbes include, but are not limited, to Aspergillus niger, Aspergillus terreus, Penicillium polonicum, Gluconacetobacter rhaeticusi, Janthinobacterium lividum, and Pseudomonas veronii.
These microbes break down crop residue to enhance planter performance, saving you time and frustration. Further, less crop residue means the soil warms faster, providing more evenly distributed seed emergence in the spring. These microbes also enhance your soil investment by releasing organic matter, building the soil microbiome, and unlocking nutrients in your crop residue.

How does Holganix Bio 800+ Breakdown differ from other crop digesters?
Unlike other products, Holganix Bio 800+ Breakdown contains a diverse consortium of soil microbes. Holganix Bio 800+ Breakdown contains over 800 species of soil microbes, with a special focus on lignin degrading fungi and bacteria.
According to the USDA, “having a healthy biologically active soil is key to the breakdown of residues... fungi specialize in breaking down lignin so high-fungal populations found in long-term no-till soils will be beneficial.” Adding lignin fungi via Holganix Bio 800+ Breakdown boosts populations in the soil and hastens crop decomposition.
How do you use Holganix Bio 800+ Breakdown?
Holganix Bio 800+ Breakdown is designed to be used after harvest, at a rate of 0.5 gal per acre. The total spray volume should be at least 15 gallons per acre. There are no re-entry restrictions associated with this product when applied without pesticides.
Please note that Holganix Bio 800+ products can be stored at ambient temperatures, and out of direct sunlight, for four-to-six weeks out of refrigeration. Long-term refrigeration storage is provided for customers that meet purchasing minimums.
