SETTING THE SCENE
While much of the discussion has centred around fertilizer use, soil amendments and conditioners are an equally critical tool in soil restoration efforts and our ability to feed the anticipated 9 billion people inhabiting the earth by 2050. While fertilizers deliver the nutrients plants need for crops to grow, soil amendments provide the environment for fertilizers to be effective; a desolate soil cannot be improved through the use of fertilizer alone – no matter how much is applied.
With awareness around the critical nature of soil health becoming more prevalent, soil amendments have seen increasing use in recent years and continue to be on an upward trend; a 2017 report by Research and Markets projected that global demand for soil conditioners would see a CAGR of 8.16% up to the year 2022.
Healthy soil consists of fungi, microbes, earthworms, macro fauna and micro/mesofauna. Sustainable Agriculture involves not only the physical properties and mineral structure of the soil, but also the process by which organic matter is transformed into humus by microbes, fungi, earthworms etc. Our research products are made incorporating crop residue and other organic matter into the soil promotes microbial growth which in turn promotes humus production and soil fertility.
