Sigma Agriscience Microalgae

Sigma Microalgae is a liquid soil amendment from Sigma Agriscience made from proprietary pasteurized, whole-cell single-cell microalgae at 10% by weight. It supplies proteins, lipids and carbohydrates as a mid-range food source for soil biology, feeding beneficial soil microbes and the strains in Sigma Bio.

Sigma uses Microalgae to increase beneficial soil microbial populations and diversity, make natural and applied nutrients more available, and improve soil structure, as microbial secretions bind soil particles for better aggregation, pore space and water holding. It mixes fully in water for soil-applied, irrigation and spray programs. Sigma packages it in Boling, Texas. Pricing is FOB Boling, TX, and freight is quoted separately.
