Nitrogen Fixers
Convert atmospheric nitrogen into plant-available forms to support crop growth and improve nitrogen efficiency.
Activ8-R
Nutrient Support for Rice
Activ8-R™ is formulated to perform in flooded or saturated soils—ideal for maximizing nitrogen fixation and other nutrient uptake in rice production.
Supports nitrogen availability in flooded and variable soil conditions.
Stimulates microbial activity in the soil that drives nutrient cycling.
Supports early root development.
What it Does
Primary Function
Activates Soil Biology and Opens Nutrient Pathways
- Biological nitrogen conversion
- Rhizosphere colonization
- Enzyme-driven nutrient transformation
- Nutrient availability pathways
Pathways Opened
- Nitrogen conversion
- Nutrient cycling
- Root zone activity
- Mineral release pathways
Field Impact
- Captures atmospheric nitrogen and improves nitrogen efficiency
- Helps open blocked nutrient pathways identified through SFA analysis
- Enhances nutrient availability and biological activity in the rhizosphere
- Improves nutrient flow and crop performance
When to Use Activ8-R™
You want your inputs and nutrients to grow your crop, not stay locked in the soil or become lost through volatilization or leeching.
Activ8-R is designed for use in rice production where water management and soil conditions can limit nutrient efficiency. It helps support both nitrogen availability and nutrient movement throughout the growing season.
Growers use Activ8-R to improve nutrient performance, support crop consistency, and get more value from applied fertility.

Primary Biology Groups
Nutrient Cycling Biology
Help break down and recycle nutrients already present in the soil, making them easier for crops to access.
Root Colonizers
Establish beneficial biology around the root system to support nutrient uptake and early plant development.
Multi-Nutrient Mobilizers
Help unlock and move key nutrients through the soil so they can flow more efficiently to the plants.

Customer Reviews
BTI products are easy to use. They’re tank mix compatible, so our customers aren’t making separate passes to use the products. This has made BTI easy to incorporate into their businesses.
Nathan M.

BTI has really changed the way we think about the crop in general—whether that’s below-ground soil fertility, soil health, or above-ground plant health.
Zach M.

We couldn’t keep competing the same way. We needed a whole new hand of cards. When you think microbial, that resets the whole paradigm for you.
