Composition
The main component of our substrate is organic sapropel. An important part of organic sapropel is humic and fulvic acids.
Humic acids (up to 25% of the organic matter):
Improve soil structure:
- bind small soil particles into stable aggregates;
- increase looseness and air permeability;
- reduce erosion.
Increase moisture retention:
- especially noticeable in sandy soils;
- are capable of retaining water several times greater than their own weight.
Increase cation exchange capacity:
- retain nutrient microelements K⁺, Ca²⁺, Mg²⁺, NH₄⁺;
- reduce their leaching.
Bind heavy metals:
- Cd, Pb, Hg, Ni, Cr and others;
- reduce their availability to plants.
Stimulate soil microflora:
- create a favorable environment for microorganisms.
Fulvic acids (up to 10% of the organic matter):
Transport nutrients:
- form chelates with microelements Fe, Zn, Mn, Cu;
- improve their absorption by plants.
Increase the permeability of cell membranes:
- facilitate the entry of nutrients into the root.
Activate metabolism:
- enhance enzymatic processes;
- stimulate root system development.
Reduce plant stress:
- during drought, soil salinity, temperature fluctuations.
Organic sapropel contains B vitamins (B1, B2, B3, B6, B12), C, E, as well as 17 amino acids, among which lysine, arginine, threonine, methionine, phenylalanine, leucine, aspartic and glutamic acids, alanine, proline, and cysteine predominate. In sapropels, microelements are present in organomineral compounds.
Components of natural origin have been added to the substrate, which enhance and prolong the effect of the positive factors of sapropel.
Agronomic benefits
The use of our substrate improves the mechanical structure of the soil, increases its water absorption and moisture retention capacity, raises the humus content, and activates soil processes. The substrate provides plants with balanced nutrition for the entire growing season.
When used together with mineral fertilizers, it reduces the toxicity of heavy metals contained in the fertilizers, preventing their accumulation in agricultural products. The substrate improves the water balance of the soil and reduces water consumption by 50% on irrigated lands.
Our substrate helps restore the natural fertility of the soil and significantly reduces the need for mineral fertilizers. When growing organic products, it allows you to completely eliminate mineral fertilizers.
Quality & comparison
Our substrate contains more than 80% organic matter and more than 35% humus (for comparison, even the best chernozem soils contain up to 12% humus).
Our product significantly surpasses organic fertilizers obtained from agricultural waste, livestock waste, and poultry waste in consumer properties and quality.
