Soil specific nutrition to maintain fertility and yields

Plants require nutrients to grow. The higher the crop yield the higher is as well the demand for nutrients. In well balanced systems, only the quantity of nutrients which has been extracted by the plant has to be returned. Additional fertilisation requirements arise usually through intensive farming methods.

On-farm ressources may not always be sufficient to keep the fertility of soil and therefore fertilisers have to be added.

Primary, or more specific, macro-nutrients required for growth can be divided into two different groups, one composed of C-H-O (Carbon, Hydrogen, Oxygen) which is freely available by air and the other group with N-P-K (Nitrogen, Phosphorus, Potassium) which might have to be added to maintain a sufficient soil level.

In addition to primary nutrients, there is as well a group of secondary nutrients essential for plant growth and consisting of S-Ca-Mg (Sulphur, Calcium, Magnesium). Last but not least micro-nutrients such as Iron, Zinc, Copper,  Molybdenum, Boron and Manganese do influence plant growth and health.

Sufficient plant nutrition increases the crops content of proteins and vitamins which enhances quality and provides more nutritious food for consumption.

At AGBM we are concerned with the provision of solutions to nutrition problems in organic and integrated farming. Only well-balanced supply systems are abel to achieve highest results at appropriate cost.

For the organic sector we supply fertilisers according to specific soil needs and only from organic sources.

Integrated farming is served by us with single and compound fertilisers in the nutrient combination required.

Denitrification is one of the major sources of nitrogen loss.

Our Azadirachta indica based fertiliser enhancer prohibits dentrification by inhibiting the soil microorganisms responsibe for. It is therefore an ideal tool to achieve higher nitrogen plant availability.

 

It is our ambition to make it grow, whereever we go!
