The standard media for Arabidopsis researchers is
Sunshine's Redi-Earth Professional Growing Mix.
We incorporate Marathon 1%G [pdf], a granular pesticide, to all media requests as a preventative.
Researchers may also elect incorporation of Osmocote 14-14-14 [pdf], a time release fertilizer, at a rate of 2 TBL per flat.
