How Fertium 25 Improves Soil Health?
Fertium 25 Organic Matter are designed to address several key aspects of soil health. Here's a breakdown of how the product works:
-
Improves Soil Structure:
Organic matter is a vital component of soil that improves its physical structure. It binds soil particles together, creating more pore space, which improves air circulation and water infiltration. This results in a healthier root zone and better overall plant growth.
-
Enhances Nutrient Availability:
Organic matter acts as a natural fertilizer. It holds nutrients like nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium in the soil, making them more available to plants. This reduces the need for synthetic fertilizers and promotes sustainable farming practices.
-
Increases Soil Moisture Retention:
Soils rich in organic matter are better able to retain moisture. Fertium 25 helps your soil absorb and hold more water, reducing irrigation needs and supporting plants during dry periods.
-
Boosts Microbial Activity:
Organic matter serves as a food source for beneficial soil microbes. These microbes break down organic matter, releasing essential nutrients that plants can absorb. Increased microbial activity also helps to suppress harmful pathogens, promoting a healthy soil ecosystem.
-
Reduces Soil Erosion:
By improving soil structure and increasing moisture retention, organic matter can reduce the risk of soil erosion. This is particularly beneficial in areas prone to heavy rainfall or wind.
-
Supports Sustainable Agriculture:
Fertium 25 helps you create a more sustainable farming system by improving soil health without relying on harmful synthetic chemicals. It supports long-term soil fertility, making it an ideal choice for organic farming.
Application Instructions
Fertium 25 Organic Matter can be applied to a variety of soil types to improve overall soil health. Below are general guidelines for using the product:
For Garden Beds: Apply Fertium 25 at a rate of 2-5 kg per 10 square meters of garden bed area. Mix thoroughly into the soil before planting.
For Agricultural Crops: The recommended application rate is 250-500 kg per hectare depending on the soil's current organic matter content and specific crop needs. Apply during planting or as a soil amendment in the off-season.
For Lawn Care: Use 2-3 kg per 10 square meters of lawn area, ensuring even distribution. Water thoroughly after application to help the pellets break down and integrate into the soil.
For Containers & Pots: Mix 1-2 tablespoons into the soil of each pot or container, depending on the size.
