Alroc Mineral Fertilisers provides the perfect food for plants while building a correct soil structure for future growth. Minerals are an important factor in the health of the plant. Healthy plants photosynthesis nitrogen into protein, and carbon and water into carbohydrates. The use of BFA certified BioLife biological inoculants is recommended with rock minerals to assist with the release of nutrients.
Growers all around the world are becoming aware of the benefits of undertaking a soil remineralisation program. Remineralisation and good soil management help restore soil fertility to through a more balanced. Good soil management promotes structure allowing improved drainage and nutrient retention.
Soil remineralisation with Alroc Granular fertilisers has the added advantage of optimizing the uptake of nitrogen from the soil and atmosphere while not acidifying the soil. They reduce compaction and promote the release of nutrients. The benefits of a soil remineralisation program involve putting life back into the soil. Mineral fertilisers raise organic carbon content levels, release nutrients that are bound and fixed in the soil due to low pH, they correct any calcium to magnesium ratios, balance the soil pH, increase phosphorus, nitrogen and potassium levels, stimulate bacterial activity, increase trace elements and maintain an open and friable soil structure eliminating compaction.
The benefits of natural soil remineralisation include
- Promotes plant growth.
- Increased glucose production
- Reduction in lodging and senescence
- Increased root development and health
- Speeds up conversion of nitrogen to protein
- Increased tolerance to environmental stresses.
- Stimulates microbes to release nature’s store.
- Increased water retention capacity.
- Makes soil less erosion prone.
- Increased resistance to pest and pathogenic fungi.
