Frequently asked questions

Yes. All Becof products are 100% natural, made from beneficial microorganisms, and formulated for organic farming systems.

Start with what your crop needs. NitroFix™ supplies natural nitrogen for strong leaf and stem growth (maize, beans and vegetables). RootMax™ builds stronger roots and better nutrient uptake (vegetables, fruits and cereals). TrichoShield™ protects roots from soil-borne disease (all crops). SoilFix™ rebuilds soil health and stabilises pH (all crops). Our crop guides for maize, beans, potatoes and vegetables set out exactly which products to use and when.

Becof biofertilizers work with the living soil instead of against it. They supply natural nitrogen and reduce your dependence on synthetic nitrogen fertilizer over time, build stronger roots that take up nutrients better, protect roots from soil-borne disease as a biological alternative to chemical fungicides, and improve soil health by stabilising pH and electrical conductivity. All are 100% natural and suited to organic farming.

Every product comes in 1 L, 5 L, 10 L, 20 L and 50 L packs. Larger packs cost less per litre: KES 2,800 per litre from 5 L upwards for NitroFix™, TrichoShield™ and RootMax™ (KES 2,950 for 1 L), and KES 2,500 per litre for SoilFix™ (KES 2,650 for 1 L). Choose the size on the product page.

Each application is 2 litres per acre, mixed with 30 litres of water. Most crops get 2 applications per season, so a 5-acre farm needs about 20 litres of each product for the season. The calculator on every product page and crop guide works out the exact amount and the best-value packs for your farm size.

Apply at planting or transplanting, then repeat during the season — usually 3 to 6 weeks later depending on the crop and product. Each crop guide lists the exact timing for maize, beans, potatoes and vegetables.

Mix each 2 L dose with 30 L of clean, non-chlorinated water and apply it the same day. Apply to moist soil, ideally in the early morning or late afternoon, out of strong sun.

TrichoShield™ contains a living beneficial fungus, so leave at least 7 days between applying it and any copper-based or chemical fungicide.

Becof products contain live beneficial microorganisms. Store them in a cool, shaded place and mix each dose with clean water on the day you apply it.
