Not all enzymes are the same. And where they come from makes a big difference. At ZymeCO, we use enzymes derived from fungi because they work better in real-world conditions — whether you're breaking down thatch on turf or managing residue in the field.
Here’s why fungal enzymes outperform bacterial ones.
1. Fungi Break Down Tough Stuff
Fungi are nature’s clean-up crew. They specialize in breaking down things like thatch, crop residue, and fibrous organic matter. That’s what makes fungal enzymes perfect for:
- Managing thatch layers
- Breaking down crop stubble
- Releasing tied-up nutrients in the soil
They do the hard work that bacteria often can’t handle as well.
2. They Handle Harsh Conditions
Fungal enzymes are more stable in different temperatures and pH levels. Whether they’re sitting in a jug or being sprayed in the field, they keep working. This leads to:
- Longer shelf life
- Reliable results
- Less risk of breakdown
You can trust them to work when conditions aren’t perfect.
3. Easier to Produce, Easier to Use
Fungi naturally release enzymes into their environment. Bacteria usually keep their enzymes inside. That means fungal enzymes are:
- Easier to collect during manufacturing
- More consistent from batch to batch
- Cost-effective to produce
That efficiency carries through to your program.
4. They Work Well with Other Products
Fungal enzymes are a great match with biologicals and biostimulants. Enzymes help break things down. Biologicals help rebuild soil life. Biostimulants support plant health. Together, they:
- Speed up nutrient cycling
- Improve root development
- Strengthen your overall program
Fungal enzymes act fast and give your other tools a boost.
5. They’re Targeted and Powerful
Fungal enzymes are complex and precise. Each one is made to do a specific job. This means:
- Faster action
- More predictable results
- Better return on investment
They don’t just work — they work smart. Fungal enzymes are tough, efficient, and proven to perform in the field.
