Biological fertilizers have a credibility problem — not because the science is wrong, but because delivery is broken.
Survival Failure
of applied bacteria survive in real soil. Without protection, cells die from UV, desiccation, temperature, and competition from native microflora before reaching roots.
Application Incompatibility
Most biological products can't be mixed with fungicide-treated seeds or tank-mixed with crop protection. Extra passes, extra cost, extra friction for the farmer.
Shelf Life & Logistics
Typical viability window for unprotected biologicals. Many require cold-chain storage. By the time product reaches the farmer, a significant portion of bacteria may be dead.
Labelled: ≥10⁹ CFU/mL
3×10⁵
CFU/mL measured.That's a ~3,000× shortfall between label claim and actual viable count.
Expected: clean dominant Bacillus profile
Non-uniform growth behaviour and microscopy signals inconsistent with a clean dominant Bacillus profile. Composition and viability not reliably delivered — repeatability breaks even if the farmer follows the label exactly.
We put a protective biopolymer shell around live bacteria. This isn't a coating — it's a controlled microenvironment that keeps cells alive during storage and delivers them precisely where plants need them.
5× Higher Survival
Encapsulated bacteria showed five times higher survival vs. non-encapsulated under stress conditions (V1 lab validation). The protective biopolymer matrix shields cells from UV, temperature, desiccation, and microbial competition.
Farm-Ready Powder
Enthela Microencapsulation V2 produces a dry, free-flowing powder compatible with standard seed-treating equipment and spray nozzles. Application: just 50–100 g/ha. No new hardware, no cold chain.
12+ Month Shelf Life
V1 extrusion capsules maintained viability for up to 2 years in dried form. V2 targets 12+ months at room temperature. No cold chain. Store and transport like any conventional dry input.
Each microcapsule (~10–20 µm) contains selected bacteria from a 100+ strain collection inside a cross-linked biopolymer shell. The capsule protects from external stress factors during storage, application, and early soil exposure — then releases bacteria gradually through moisture and root exudate triggers.
