Advanced Soil Biology...

The contribution, which these soil-microbes can give you as a farmer includes, but is not limited to:

• It converts urea (the best known and cheapest form of nitrogen fertiliser) to ammonium (NH⁺₄) and nitrates (NO^-₃) which are more easily absorbed by the plant.
• It stimulates root formation, and thus the area (soil volume) around the roots from which the plant can absorb water and plant nutrients.
• It produces natural substances (chelates) which loosen up tied minerals which can then be used by the plant.
• Produce plant growth hormones which stimulate vegetative plant growth and improve overall yield.
• It increases soil fertility. Soils containing higher numbers of beneficial microbes become more resistant to various soil borne diseases.

To increase microbial growth in the root zone, conventional methods such as the addition of compost, green manures, cover crops or adding various forms of animal or bird manures can be used.

Although these methods form the basis of sustainable soil management and will all stimulate microbial growth in some way or another, it all requires a lot of additional input and effort. The ideal situation is to stimulate microbial growth in the root zone every time you fertilise.

For this reason Humefert Manufacturing (Pty) Ltd has in the last ten years, developed a complete range of products and microorganisms enriched with AminoFix-3000 and/or BlackGold, our unique plant growth enhancer and bio-stimulant.

This fertiliser range is combined in fertiliser programs by our highly qualified Agronomists and can be used on all crops under all conditions. In low fertile soils or disease infected soils, additional beneficial microbes are added as part of the fertiliser program. Excellent results have so far been achieved with this Biological approach. Our technical team will gladly supply you with additional information on this highly successful and sustainable fertilising approach.
