JUSTIFY WHY YOUR END PRODUCT COULD BE COMMERCIALIZE

Agriculture is a sector that has a high demand all over the time because human and
animal need to consume food for energy. We can look now, that when there are economical
crisis, but still the guy that involve in agriculture still can handle the crisis, rather than the other
guy who in oil and gas production, for example.
A strong growing market for plant probiotics for the use of agricultural biotechnology has
been shown worldwide with an annual growth rate of approximately 10%. Based on the mode of
action and effects, the plant probiotics products can be used as biofertilizers, plant strengtheners,
phytostimulators, and biopesticides1.
In term of commercializing Bio-Booster by Pertubuhan Peladang Kawasan Johor Bahru
Selatan (PPKJBS), there are so many reasons on why we need to commercialize it.
Bio-Booster increase crop yield by 30%. There are two female entrepreneurs from Kota
Tinggi who used Bio-Booster to increase the yield of honeydew. Aidawati Parman, 41, and
Radhiah Husein, 43, both of them used Bio-Booster in their fertigation system and surprisingly
the honeydew increased in yield compared to previous treatment without Bio-Booster 2. The
increase of yield happened because Bio-Booster contains microorganisms such as phototrophic
bacteria, lactic acid bacteria and yeast, it helps to process organic substance such as organic
fertilizer to produce essential compounds like amino acids, nucleic acid, bioactive compounds,

glucose and minerals from the degradation process, thus promote the vegetation of plants.
Bacteria also may contribute to plant nutrition by liberating phosphorous from organic
compounds such as phytates and thus indirectly promote plant growth.
Farmers will love Bio-Booster also because it improves soil nutrients, ventilation and
structure. As the probiotics produce essential compounds, they metabolize root exudates and
release various carbohydrates, amino acids, organic acids, and other compounds in the
rhizosphere3. Such a lot of macro and micronutrient in the soil will make the farming area
become fertile. This farming will be repeatedly used over the time for plantation, it will easier to
farmers because they do not have to treat the soil with conditioner. In the end, it will cut the cost.
Furthermore, probiotic in Bio-Booster can reduce the activity of pathogenic
microorganisms through microbial antagonisms and by activating the plant to better defend itself,
a phenomenon termed induced systemic resistance 4. Microbial antagonism includes the
inhibition of microbial growth, competition for colonization sites and nutrients, competition for
minerals, and degradation of pathogenicity factors 5. This will reduce the use of pesticide and
herbicide to control the growth of fungus and nematode.

Lastly, the use of Bio-Booster will promote environmental-friendly agriculture, as the


more beneficial the bacteria and fungi are, the more fertile the soil is. These microorganisms
break down organic matter in the soil into smaller, usable parts that plants can uptake through
their roots. The healthier the soil, the lower the need for synthetic herb/pesticides and fertilizers.
The pollution related to agriculture, mainly cause by runoff from chemical pesticides and
fertilizers. By consuming Bio-Booster, we will help in improving our environment.
