Description: 3Bar Biologics is a biotech company that has developed a proprietary delivery system to grow beneficial microbes on-site. Activation of the microbes at the point of use helps farmers improve their crop yields and reduce dependence on synthetic fertilizer and pesticides. 3Bar Biologics greatly improves the health and yield of agricultural crops with its simple-to-use, on-site fermentation technology, delivering the most highly viable and abundant beneficial microbes. 3Bar’s point of differentiation is its proprietary two-chamber LiveMicrobe™ package and delivery system that activates the “sleeping microbes” with a push of a button in a sealed and closed container. LiveMicrobe™ on-site fermentation guarantees the most abundant and freshest microbes compared with shelf-life limited formulations, ultimately ensuring the biologic can do its job.
