1. ONE LIFE. ONE EAR
TH.
IT ALL STARTS BELOW
How Be-1 works.The symbiotic relationship of
plants and beneficial microbes.
Plant roots excrete exudates, which attract microorganisms (bacteria and fungi).These bacteria and fungi
FIRST, provide a natural defense, competing with disease causing microorganisms; SECOND, make micro-
aggregates to improve soil structure and,THIRD eat nutrients in the soil. However, these nutrients are in a
form not yet usable by plants.
The microorganisms Protozoa eat bacteria and other protozoa, transforming these previously unusable
forms of nutrients into forms that are available to plants.
At some point, the plant will use up the nutrients in the rhizosphere and you have to make a choice.That
choice is either, FIRST, use a conventional salt based fertilizer, or SECOND, use an organic biostimulant/
fertilizer, such as Be-1.
Conventional vs. Natural Organic
The challenge with conventional fertilizers is that they often contain salt (sodiumnitrates), which
kills microbes and ultimately sterilize the soil. Since microbes help turn nutrients into usable forms
for plants, this means that not all nutrients are being converted into plant-available forms; hence, not
quite reaching full efficiency and usually requiring increasingly more fertilizer to achieve the same effect.
Often the excess will leach and may end up in our rivers, streams and oceans, causing such phenomenon as
algae blooms, which kill salmon, and sterilize our waterways.
Instead, if you add Be-1 to your compost or tea to inoculate or add as a top-dressing to estab-
lished plants, then the hydrolyzed proteins will exponentially increase the bacteria, fungi and
protozoa, maximizing use of nutrients in the soil and releasing them slowly. As these nutrients are used up,
you can replenish monthly with the natural nutrients in Be-1’s NPK of 3-6-5, which all microbes need to
maintain this symbiotic cycle.
You will likely find that over time you will need less fertilizer, herbicides and pesticides which means a
much more efficient and environmentally sustainable environment.

USA
Compost and Bokashi Starter/Accelerator:Thor-
oughly mix 1.75 oz (50 grams -or- 3x tablespoons)
of pellets per gallon of compost (2 lbs of pellets per
cubic yard) directly into your compost pile
Soil-Conditioner: Before planting and
transplanting, awaken your soil by jump starting
your beneficial microbe counts in the rhizosphere
and improve soil structure from several days up to
4-weeks prior to planting, apply 1.75 oz (50 grams
-or- 3x tablespoons) of pellets per gallon of soil
directly around hole, where planting.
1x 2.2 lb bag conditions roughly 20 sq ft.
1x 2.2 lb bag 22 lb bag conditions roughly 200 sq ft.
Monthly booster: Most microorganisms could use
a monthly boost of amino acids and nutrients in Be-1
pellets, especially during most intensive growth
phases. See your application type below for rates. For
general application, one 22 lb bag boosts roughly
1,000 sq ft. See feeding by plant type below.
CompostTea:There are many recipes and tech-
niques for mixing compost tea -or- actively aerated
compost tea (AACT). Since microorganisms are living,
they can increase exponentially, given the right
catalyst (Be-1), which means you do not need much
to get the process started.This makes compost teas
the most cost-effective method for including Be-1 in
your feeding regimen.You only need 2x tablespoons
of Be-1 per 5-gallon bucket, use specific rates below
and simply add Be-1 pellets to your favorite tea
recipe. Rain and well water work best.
Foliar Spray: Foliar sprays are a great way to add
nutrients with immediate effects, and add a biologic
barrier film to foliage.The film can provide a natural
barrier against disease and insects, which means
energies can be focused on growing.
Orchids
New planting:Thoroughly mix 0.8 oz (20 grams
-or- 1.25x tablespoons) of pellets per gallon of soil.
Monthly (Spring to Fall): Add 0.2 oz (5 grams
-or- 1/3x tablespoon) of pellets top dressing around
base of plant.
Foliar Spray: Add 0.2 oz (5 grams -or- 1/3x
tablespoon) of pellets per liter of water and allow to
solubilize for at least 3- to 6-hours, stirring occasion-
ally, and spray.
Flowers
New planting:Thoroughly mix 1.5 oz (40 grams
-or- 3x tablespoons) of pellets per gallon of soil.
Monthly: Add 0.2 oz (5 grams -or- 1/3x tablespoon)
top dressing of pellets around base of plant. One 2 lb
bag covers roughly 200 sq ft.
CompostTea: Add 0.9 oz (25 grams -or- 1.5x table-
spoons) of pellets per 5x gallons of tea and allow
time for pellets to increase microorganisms (potency)
in the concentrated brew.Then feed as usual.This
same mixture may be used as a foliar spray.
Fruits &Vegetables
New planting:Thoroughly mix 1.5 oz (40 grams
-or- 3x tablespoons) of pellets per gallon of soil
-or- for commercial application, 1 x 22 lb bag per 80
linear foot row.
Monthly: Add 0.4 oz (10 grams -or- 2/3 tablespoon)
of pellets top dressing around base of plant. One 2 lb
bag covers roughly 100 sq ft.
CompostTea: Add 1.0 oz (30 grams -or- 2x table-
spoons) of pellets per 5x gallons of tea and allow
time for pellets to increase microorganisms (potency)
in the concentrated brew.Then feed as usual.This
same mixture may be used as a foliar spray.
Aggressive Growth Rates
Use Be-1 in all planting mediums, including soil and
soiless mixes - peat moss, coco, hydro and Perlite. If
microbes can grow in it, Be-1 can help them grow
exponentially.
Aggressive - (Dry pellet application)
New planting:Thoroughly mix up to 4 oz (120
grams -or- 10x tablespoons) per gallon of soil.
Monthly: 1.4 oz (40-grams -or- 3x tablespoons) of
monthly top dressing around base of plant or more
often as needed.
Aggressive - (Compost tea and foliar spray)
By far the most economical method of applying Be-1
pellets is in a compost tea. Only $0.18 per gallon.
Simply mix pellets into your usual tea recipe and
Be-1 will go to work increasing microorganisms
(potency) in the concentrated brew.Then feed as
usual and be sure to send us pictures.
SMALL BATCH AggressiveTea Application:
1/3 oz (10 grams -or- 2/3x tablespoon) per 1-gallon
of brew -or- 1.75 oz (50 grams -or- 3x tablespoons)
for a 5-gallon bucket
LARGE BATCH AggressiveTea Application:
1x 10 kg (22 lbs) bag per 1,000 gallons of brew
Hydroponics
While the Be-1 Pellets are water-soluble, and if
you don’t mind the extra work of having to clean
your filters a little more frequently, using Be-1 in
hydroponic applications is worth the effort.
Just be sure to solubilize pellets in water for at least
30-min. to 3-hours prior to running through system,
stirring occasionally to break up aggregates as much
as possible.
The pellet form of Be-1 makes it the easiest to use bio-stimulant
(with NPK). Here are uses that will help you get exceptional results.

** For liquid applications (water, compost tea and foliar spray) be sure to allow water to
stand for 24 hours prior to mixing in pellets. Chlorine in municipal water sterilizes
microorganisms, so needs 24 hours to evaporate. Then allow pellets to solubilize for at
least 30-min, stirring occasionally.

2. Unlike any product out there, Be-1 is a very
unique combination of nutrients and minerals
along with a proprietary blend of amino-acids,
all natural and wild-sourced.
The result is a product that isn’t just a shop-
ping list of minerals and nutrients. Be-1 is a
culmination of 30-plus years of research to
find the perfect combination and balance of
ingredients and blend of hydrolyzed proteins
that work in unison and literally awakens the
soil and efficiently feeds and strengthens the
plant.
In a lab analysis done by Earthfort, the
flagellate count increased by 6700% more than
normal organic humus would contain and
1100% more amoebae.
This directly correlates to more than 6 times
the nitrogen cycling potential. (please refer
to our Biological Analysis Soil Amendment
performed by Earthfort found on our website:
www.bio-enhanced.com).
Be-1 also generates a process that maxi-
mizes the plant’s absorption of nitrogen. Most
importantly, Be-1 helps the plant strengthen
itself from root to leaf-tip and naturally defend
itself from most if not all natural enemies.
This greatly reduces the need for harmful
pesticides and herbicides that kill all of the
“good-guys”in your soil.
