Biological Inoculants — AGTIV

At Taurus Agricultural Marketing, The Fertility Company, we believe that the soil isn’t just a place to hold roots — it’s a living ecosystem. Through our partnership with Premier Tech AGTIV®, we offer a portfolio of biological inoculants that harness nature’s own solutions to enhance nutrient availability, increase nitrogen fixation, build better root systems, and improve plant resilience. Our AGTIV® biological technologies combine decades of innovation with the power of nature’s most effective microbial allies — helping Canadian growers maximize efficiency, crop quality, and long-term soil health.

The Four Pillars of AGTIV® Biological Solutions:

Mycorrhizae (PTB297 Technology): Mycorrhizal fungi form a natural symbiotic relationship with plant roots, dramatically expanding the root system’s ability to access water and nutrients, especially phosphorus. Enhances phosphorus uptake, Expands the root absorption zone, Improves drought tolerance and soil exploration. Found in products like AGTIV® Thrive™ and AGTIV® Reach™.

Rhizobium (PTB160, PTB161, PTB162 Technologies): Rhizobium bacteria naturally fix atmospheric nitrogen into a plant-available form — critical for legume crops. Different rhizobium strains are optimized for different pulse species. Increases biological nitrogen fixation, Improves early nodulation, Boosts protein content and plant vigor. Found in products like AGTIV® Fuel™, AGTIV® Enrich™, and AGTIV® Thrive™.

Bacillus (PTB180, PTB185 Technologies): Beneficial Bacillus species stimulate root growth, enhance nutrient cycling, and improve plant vigor under stress conditions. Stimulates early rooting and seedling establishment, Increases nutrient solubilization and availability, Strengthens plant defense against environmental stresses. Found in products like AGTIV® Enrich™ and AGTIV® Stimulate™.

Serendipita (PTB299 Technology): Serendipita fungi improve plant growth by enhancing photosynthesis efficiency and mitigating abiotic stress factors like drought, salinity, and temperature extremes. Boosts photosynthetic capacity, Enhances plant establishment and early growth, Supports yield resilience under stress. Found in AGTIV® Ignite™.

AGTIV® Solutions: Backed by Science, Proven in Fields

For more than 100 years, Premier Tech has pioneered biological solutions that help plants thrive naturally. Their focus on mycorrhizae, rhizobium, bacillus, and serendipita technologies allows Taurus to deliver biologically-enhanced fertility options for every major crop across Canada. These technologies work hand-in-hand with traditional fertility programs — not replacing nutrition, but amplifying the plant’s ability to capture and use it more efficiently, contributing to overall crop fertility.
