Bioactive Substrate with Micro Fauna

Bioactive substrate with microfauna is a type of substrate designed to create a balanced and self-sustaining ecosystem in our ant nests. Unlike inert substrates, this type of substrate includes tiny living organisms, known as microfauna, that play crucial roles in nutrient cycling and soil health.

Key components and functions:

Base substrate:
Composed of a mixture of organic materials such as coconut fiber, peat, pine bark, and other components that retain moisture and provide a suitable structure for plant growth and microfauna.

Microfauna:
Includes springtails and scale insects that feed on decaying organic matter, fungi, and other microorganisms.
They play a fundamental role in decomposing organic waste, aerating the soil, and controlling populations of potentially harmful microorganisms.

Please note: The number of springtails or scale insects may vary depending on the crop.
