Meltdown™ contains microbes specifically selected to break down cellulose, lignin, and chitin, some of the most valuable and complex forms of carbon in residue.
Total Nitrogen (N) — 1.0% (Soy Protein Hydrolysate) A gentle, organic nitrogen source that stimulates microbial activity and supports early decomposition. Derived from soy protein hydrolysate, it provides amino acids and peptides that feed beneficial microbes and help jump‑start residue breakdown.
Bacillus licheniformis produces enzymes that degrade complex organic materials, including proteins and polysaccharides. This strain accelerates residue decomposition and helps release nutrients tied up in crop residue and soil organic matter.
Bacillus subtilis. A resilient soil bacterium known for producing cellulase and protease enzymes. It enhances residue breakdown, supports nutrient mineralization, and promotes a balanced microbial environment that improves soil health and nutrient cycling.
Cellulomonas cellasea. Specialized in cellulose degradation — it breaks down tough plant fibers and stalk material. This activity frees carbon and nutrients locked in residue, improving soil structure and organic matter turnover.
Pseudomonas balearica. A versatile nutrient‑solubilizing bacterium that helps release bound phosphorus and micronutrients. It also contributes to nitrogen transformation processes, improving nutrient availability for the next crop.
Rhodopseudomonas palustris. A photosynthetic bacterium that plays a key role in nitrogen fixation and carbon cycling. It enhances soil microbial diversity, supports nutrient release under low‑oxygen conditions, and contributes to overall soil vitality.
Yarrowia lipolytica. A beneficial yeast that produces enzymes capable of breaking down lipids and complex organic compounds. It supports microbial synergy and helps convert residue into usable carbon sources for other soil organisms.
Fulvic Acids (Derived from Leonardite) — 0.04% Fulvic acids chelate nutrients and improve their mobility within the soil profile. They enhance microbial efficiency and nutrient uptake by plants, especially during early growth stages.
Humic Acids (Derived from Leonardite) — 0.01% Humic acids improve soil structure, water retention, and cation exchange capacity. They create a more favorable environment for microbial activity and nutrient release.
