Abstract

See full text

A system and method for incubating a nutrient spore composition to at least begin the germination process at a point-of-use for small-scale farm applications. The composition comprises solid or powdered L-amino acids, a buffer, optionally D-glucose and/or D-fructose, optionally potassium, and Bacillus spores in a pre-measured filter packet. The method comprises adding a small amount of hot water in a temperature range of 60° C. to 80° C. to the filter packet for an incubation period of around 2 to 60 minutes to form an incubated bacteria solution that is discharged to a farm application. A drip-style coffee maker or similar system may be used to add hot water to the filter packet. The incubated bacteria solution is dispensed to animal drinking water, plants/crops, or an aquaculture pond.
