Co-Cultured Microbial Inoculant

Continuµm™ is a next generation microbial biostimulant designed with large-scale and high-intensity growers in mind. Easy to apply in any farm or growing operation, Continuµm offers growers resilience in a bottle with a powerful blend of naturally occurring, plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria (PGPRs).

Beneficial bacteria that are grown together, work together. For growers, a co-cultured product like Continuµm represents an evolution in liquid biofertilizers and microbial partnerships because it both liberates nutrients into available, plant-usable forms and also establishes a healthy ecosystem that is a non-pesticidal, non-resistance causing defense against the enemies of yield.

Paenibacillus chitinolyticus........ 1x10⁶CFU/mL
Bacillus subtilis....................................... 1x10⁶ CFU/mL
Bacillus amyloliquefaciens............ 1x10⁶ CFU/mL
Bacillus pumilus..................................... 1x10⁶ CFU/mL

CFU/mL = colony forming units per mililiter

How it works

1. Apply Continuµm at key stages of plant growth.

2. The bacteria in Continuµm produce organic acids and extracellular enzymes that solubilize, mobilize, and chelate macro and micronutrients. They establish a healthy ecosystem that a is natural, non-pesticidal defense against harm.

3. Increased nutrient use efficiency and a healthy microbial ecosystem results in greater root development and plant growth.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is Continuum?

Continuum is a co-cultured microbial consortium containing multiple beneficial bacterial species designed to support crop resilience and soil-plant interactions. Continuum is a powerful root growth and health inoculant, offering the strongest possible foundation for aboveground crop resilience.

Why does Impello sell Continuum?

We sell Continuum because plants do not interact with microbes one species at a time in nature. Continuum reflects a more ecological view of microbial support: layered, multifunctional, and adaptive. Multiple, co-cultured species means performance across multiple environments.

How does Continuum work?

Continuum works through multiple functions, including nutrient cycling, root colonization, soil aggregation support, and environmental buffering.

Why does Continuum matter to growers?

Continuum matters because growers face complex field conditions. A co-cultured, multimodal microbial product gives plants multiple forms of support rather than relying on a single strain or single mechanism. Growers are most consistently wowed by differences in root health and growth.

What does “CFU/mL” mean?

CFU stands for Colony Forming Unit, which measures the number of live, active microorganisms in a liquid. Continuµm contains 4 million CFU/mL, meaning every single milliliter delivers at least 4,000,000 beneficial bacteria ready to colonize and support plant roots.

What media can I use Continuum in?

Continuum is compatible with all growing media, including field soils, coco coir, peat mixes, rockwool, and fully hydroponic systems. Because it features a diverse, co-cultured consortium, it is highly adaptable to various root-zone environments.

Can I use Continuum with conventional or organic nutrients?

Yes. Continuum is fully compatible with both conventional mineral-based fertilizers and organic nutrient programs. It acts as a bridge to help plants utilize nutrients more efficiently, regardless of the source.

How do I apply Continuum?

Continuum is best applied via root drench or injected directly into irrigation systems (drip, pivot, or overhead). Simply mix it into your reservoir or stock tank as you would any liquid input.

When should I use Continuum?

For best results, introduce Continuum early in the plant life cycle—starting at propagation or seed germination—to establish robust root colonization. Continued applications through vegetative growth and early flowering/fruiting help maintain a thriving microbial community.

Note: Application strategies change based on your specific crop, location, substrate, goals and challenges. Contact an Impello advisor at info@impellobio.com to develop a program right for your operation.

How much Continuum should I apply and how frequently?

As a general rule of thumb, Continuum is applied at a rate of 0.5 to 1 mL per gallon of water or nutrient solution. Frequency can range from once a week to every watering, depending on your setup.

Continuµm™ x Bell Pepper

A spring 2022 trial in Yuma, AZ, on 'Courier' peppers showed Continuμm improved canopy density, reduced sunburn, and increased yields of XL and large fruit. Continuμm-treated plants outperformed controls, making it ideal for sunburn-sensitive varieties in desert conditions.

Continuµm™ x Hydroponic Lettuce

A trial demonstrated that Continuμm improved lettuce yield and overall crop quality. It performed well both on its own and when combined with a custom bacterial blend, highlighting its effectiveness in enhancing agricultural outcomes.

Continuµm™ x Dune™ x Leafy Greens

A commercial grower compared Fosphite biopesticide to a biostimulant program (Dune monosilicic acid + Continuµm microbes) to assess yield impact. Nine leafy green varieties were tested across three treatments: Fosphite, biostimulant, and untreated control. Yield (oz/plant) and percent increase in yield (*PIY) were analyzed for each variety.

Continuµm™ x Poinsettia Asexual Propagation

This internal trial evaluated Continuµm's impact on root development in two poinsettia cultivars. Continuµm enhanced both root vigor and formation speed, leading to faster plug fill and quicker transplanting. These improvements can benefit growers by reducing propagation time and enhancing overall efficiency and plant health.

Continuµm™ x Romaine Lettuce

A spring 2022 trial in Yuma, AZ, on 'Duquesne' romaine lettuce showed Continuμm improved crop health and yield over controls. Early stand establishment and multiple yield metrics benefited, with the higher application rate slightly outperforming the lower.

Continuµm x Winter Lettuce

A third-party trial on winter lettuce showed Continuµm improved compactness, greenness, yield, and quality. Both rates outperformed untreated and toggle groups, with the low rate nearly matching the high, demonstrating its effectiveness.
