Release phosphorus contained in the soil
Discover the power of FosfoPower and improve the efficiency of fertilisation with phosphate mineral fertilisers.
FosfoPower is a bacterial fertiliser formulation containing selected strains of PSB (Phosphorus Solubilising Bacteria), which effectively dissolves poorly available forms of phosphorus from both organic and inorganic resources in the soil.
The bacterial strains contained in FosfoPower produce, among other things, organic acids and enzymes that release phosphorus from sources that are not available to plants. Plants are able to uptake the excess phosphorus generated by these processes.
At a dose of 100 g/ha, FosfoPower allows up to 45 kg P2O5/ha to be released and made available to the plants!

Field crops: pre-sowing as a soil spray; during the vegetation season: after sowing, after emergence, at the tillering stage, during spring after the start of vegetation as a foliar spray.
Orchards and berry gardens: with the start of spring vegetation as a spray, in the herbicide strip.
Vegetables: pre-sowing or before planting as a soil spray; at any stage of active growth as a foliar spray.
Application
spraying
Preparation quantity
100 g/ha
Water quantity
200-400 l
CompositionThe preparation contains selected PSB bacterial strains with a high concentration of not less than 1 x 109 cfu/g |
Important informationFor maximum effectiveness, the preparation should be applied in the late afternoon or evening. A very good effect is obtained by applying the product when there is high humidity in the air, e.g. before rainfall. Before adding to the spray tank, we recommend dissolving the product in water first (1 kg/10 l of water) and mixing the solution. |
Analysis of phosphorus content in Polish soils
An assessment carried out in 2020 by the “Monitoring of the chemistry of Poland’s arable soils” programme at 216 points across the country showed an average available phosphorus content in soil of 14.65 mg of P2O5/100g of soil.
This means that more than 60% of soils in Poland show very low to average content of phosphorus available to plants

Despite the very high phosphorus content, it was possible to increase the soil P2O5 content by 2,3mg P2O5/100g of soil, which translates to 86,25 kg/ha P2O5 = 38kg P/ha!
Solubilisation is the process of increasing the solubility of a substance through solubilisation facilitators – solubilisers.
The bacteria contained in FosfoPower (Phosphorus Solubilising Bacteria) accumulate within the rhizosphere. There, as a result of biological activity, they can influence the transformation of phosphorus in the soil. This applies to both organic phosphorus, in which case mineralisation takes place, and mineral phosphorus, in which case solubilisation takes place.
PSB bacteria promote solubilisation by producing, among other things, organic acids through metabolic processes that dissolve forms of mineral phosphorus that are difficult to absorb.
The role of the PSB is also to produce the enzymes – acid phosphatases and phytases – which promote mineralisation. They hydrolyse the organic part of the phosphorus contained in the soil into forms that are bioavailable to plants.
FosfoPower increases the availability of phosphorus in the soil by an average of 40%
Through a process that releases phosphorus from sources not available to the plants, it increases phosphorus absorption by 26–50%.
Scientific studies prove that at a dose of 100 g/ha, FosfoPower allows up to 45 kg of P2O5/ha to be released and made available to the plants!

“I noted that in those plantations where FosfoPower was applied, the weight of the cereal roots was significantly higher than in the control fields, which is a direct result of the application of the biopreparation.”
Dawid Lewandowski
Bio-Lider representative for Pomorze, Kujawy, Żuławy and Powiśle
“Many farmers were sceptical about FosfoPower. However, they changed their minds when they observed the effectiveness of this product in winter cereals.”
Wojciech Radosław
Sales manager at Bio-Lider for regions of Pomorze Zachodnie and Wielkopolska
“Using FosfoPower makes it possible to reduce the dose of mineral fertiliser without yield losses.”
Beata Wojtas
Bio-Lider representative for Pomorze Zachodnie and Wielkopolska
“Recent years and the high prices of mineral fertilisers urge farmers to plan their fertilisation cost-effectively and wisely. This is why I advise my customers to use FosfoPower, which increases the efficiency of phosphorus fertilisation at little cost.”
Marlena Mańkowska
Bio-Lider manager for Warmia and Mazury region
“We know that in the first year after applying mineral phosphate fertilisers, only 20–25% of the applied dose is available to the plants, and within three years this figure reaches about 60%. This means that as much as 40% of the phosphorus fertilisers used is retrograded! By using FosfoPower bio-fertiliser, we increase the efficiency and use of the phosphorus contained in the soil, which at today’s prices adds up to real savings.”
Lidia Mierzyńska
Bio-Lider manager for South East Region
“Thanks to the acids and enzymes produced by the PSB bacteria, FosfoPower is an effective response to the Green Deal’s restrictions on the use of mineral fertilisers.”

For winter crops, FosfoPower can be applied in autumn – pre-sowing, pre-emergence or in early growth periods. We recommend repeating the treatment at the beginning of the spring growth period.
For spring crops, we recommend a pre-sowing treatment, with possible re-application e.g. with a herbicide treatment in maize, sugar beet, and vegetables (BBCH 14-16).
Frost temporarily inhibits the solubilisation process, however, it does not cause the death of the bacteria contained in FosfoPower.
The product consists of PSB (phosphorus-solubilising bacteria) from the Bacillus and Pseudomonas genus with a concentration of no less than niż 1x10^9 jtk/g of preparation.
FosfoPower can be used in combination with herbicides, insecticides, foliar fertilisers, UANs and selected fungicides. A list of possible combinations is available from Procam agronomists and Bio-Lider advisors.
Yes, the research we conducted showed that FosfoPower can be added to UAN.
FosfoPower is a supplement to mineral fertilisation.
FosfoPower can be used over a wide pH range, but the best results will be obtained at a pH no lower than niż 5-5,5.
Our research has confirmed that FosfoPower is also effective on soils with a high and very high content of available phosphorus, in addition to influencing the efficiency of phosphorus absorption from conventional phosphorus fertilisers.
We assume that FosfoPower can make available an average of 40-45 kg P2O5/ha.
Yes, FosfoPower is compatible with all Bio-Lider products.
We recommend 1–2 treatments during the vegetation season, depending on the crop.
The answer is the same as in question 9. We assume that FosfoPower can make available an average of 40-45 kg P2O5/ha.
The release of phosphorus by PSB bacteria is a continuous process. Under optimum conditions for bacterial growth, this process can begin after 72 hours and progress over the following weeks. To monitor the effects, it is worth paying attention to the plant habitus and checking the content of P2O5 available to the plants.
The solubilisation process carried out by PSB bacteria takes place in the soil, so as many micro-organisms as possible must enter the soil environment with the spray.
