VGR soil amendment contains a specific strain of 

, a naturally occurring bacteria which rapidly colonizes actively growing roots. This results in larger root systems, improved water use efficiency, increased phosphorus solubility for better nutrient uptake, and improved plant defense against abiotic stresses.
