About TerraMax

Through scientifically developed technologies backed by years of research, TerraMax creates and produces innovative natural products that enhance productivity and benefit producers, consumers and the environment.

TerraMax’s family of products relies chiefly on the powerful bacteria Azospirillum. TerraMax sustainable microbial bio-stimulants are applied either as a powder or a liquid to seeds, crops, lawns and turf to naturally promote plant growth by capturing nitrogen.

Why Azospirillum?

Azospirillum is a naturally occurring, plant growth-promoting microbe (bacterium) that works as a nitrogen fixer — harvesting nitrogen from the air and soil and delivering it to root systems. However, it wasn’t until TerraMax developed an industry-first microbial bio-stimulant to keep the bacteria viable and stable,  that the growing community really discovered what this bacteria could do.

Azospirillum is scientifically proven to improve root structure year after year — creating plants that can stand up to changing weather conditions and other challenges faced by growers. Whether it’s greener, hardier turf or increased crop yields, Azospirillum is proven to work.

In addition to Azospirillum, some of our products contain Bradyrhizobium, which is also a naturally occurring soil bacteria. Bradyrhizobium also acts as a nitrogen fixer.
