Organic Biofertilizers for Beans
Beans are a short crop, so this programme does most of its work at planting and in the first weeks. NitroFix™ contains Rhizobium, which works with bean roots to form nodules that fix nitrogen directly for the plant — the earlier it reaches young roots, the better.
Covers: Dry beans (rosecoco, mwitemania, yellow beans and others) and French beans.
The beans programme
Every application is 2 L per acre, mixed with 30 L of water.
Rhizobium forms nitrogen-fixing nodules on bean roots, plus natural nitrogen for strong growth
When: At planting, close to the seed so the bacteria reach young roots early, and again at 3 weeks — 2 applications per season.
KES 2,950 per 1 L · packs up to 50 L
Stronger roots and better nutrient uptake
When: At planting, and again at 3 weeks — 2 applications per season.

Mixing and handling
- Mix each 2 L dose with 30 L of clean, non-chlorinated water and apply the same day.
- Apply to moist soil, ideally in the early morning or late afternoon, out of strong sun.
- Store products in a cool, shaded place — they contain live beneficial microorganisms.
- Leave at least 7 days between TrichoShield™ and any copper-based or chemical fungicide.
