Abstract
A microorganism activation system for activating microorganisms prior to application of microorganisms to agricultural products includes a first container, a second container, and a disruptable dividing member. The first container includes a stabilized microbial culture therein. The second container includes an aqueous rehydration solution therein. The disruptable dividing member separates the stabilized microbial culture in the first container from the aqueous rehydration solution in the second container. Disrupting the dividing member releases the stabilized microbial culture into the second chamber to contact the aqueous rehydration solution. Contact between the stabilized microbial culture and the aqueous rehydration solution re-initiates cellular activity of the microorganisms.
