Welcome to the home of Biocast, by Island Biologicals
If you’re looking to grow plants that are full of LIFE,
from soil to seed, then you’re in the right place.
What would you like to do today?
At Island Biologicals we believe that life creates life.
Biocast supports the whole plant, including its microbiome, thanks to the life-stimulating compounds of earthworms and beneficial microbes.
As a grower it can support you to add health and vigour to your high production systems, to get plants through stressful times (such at transplant, or climate extremes), or give you a stepping stone to get off the inputs treadmill.
It is a high quality, natural biostimulant that you can feel good about applying, and that will be good for you, your family, your customers and your land.
“The health of the soil, plant, animal and man is one and indivisible”
Sir Albert Howard
