What is Malted Barley Flour?

Malted barley flour is derived from barley that undergoes malting (i.e., barley that is allowed to germinate), followed by steam-drying, hulling, and finally grinding and sifting.

Malted barley flour comprises pure plant-derived starch (98%), protein, and hydrolytic enzymes aimed at enhancing biomass development.

Benefits of Malted Barley Flour

Malted barley flour effectively breaks down proteins into valuable amino acids, leading to increased nitrogen and phosphate uptake by up to 39% & 54%. The starch, glucose, and maltose contained in malted barley flour elevate root respiration rates and promote microbial populations in the rhizosphere.

This flour also enhances fungal activity and strengthens your plants' defenses against diseases and other stressors. Furthermore, malted barley aids in the decomposition of organic materials in the soil, thus increasing nutrient availability and improving yields.

A significant advantage of utilizing malted barley flour is its ability to enable plants to mature more rapidly compared to those that do not receive such enhancement.

How to Use Malted Barley Flour

Apply 1 teaspoon when planting cuttings, and utilize 1 tablespoon when potting in the root zone. Additionally, mix 1 tablespoon into 1 liter of water and aerate for 3-5 hours for use as a root drench.
