What is it?
|
A non-leachable, 100% natural Soil and Plant Conditioner
containing acid soluble Phosphate, plant available silica,
minerals, trace elements and beneficial soil micro-flora.
|
|
What does it do?
|
Generally: promotes healthier, more robust root systems and
stronger thicker stem and branch growth on all plants. Provides
organically complexed acids for enhanced cellular nutrition.
Increases the utilisation of irrigation and rainfall more efficiently.
Improves nutrient availability (including applied fertilisers) to the
plant, even under harsh conditions.
Clay Soils: loosens all clay soils. Provides better moisture
penetration, softer soil, improves nutrient availability and reduces
the effects of waterlogging.
Sandy Soils: binds sand particles together in sandy soils, which
reduces nutrient leaching and improves moisture availability.

|
Where and when to use it?
