The Right Start Ensures Strong Growth: ( Klik hier vir Afrikaanse weergawe:)

The replacement and establishment of perennial crops are important for ensuring continued growth and renewal on your farm.

Planning, surveying, soil preparation, installing irrigation and constructing trellising systems are all important steps that need to take place before planting can begin. Just like any young living organism, the development of a plant from establishment to maturity is greatly influenced by the care and treatment it receives during its formative years. For crops, this includes nutrition, irrigation and overall plant health, including pest and disease management.  This helps to establish a healthy foundation for future growth.

For the young vine or tree, Bio Rock provides a range of important nutrients and organic matter, as well as fulvic and humic acids, which occur naturally in chicken manure. It also nourishes beneficial microorganisms, which can multiply rapidly and contribute to overall soil health and fertility.  Bio Rock is mixed with the soil of the planting hole to establish the young tree or vine.  This is followed by thorough irrigation, which helps displace air around the roots and stabilise the soil.

A nutritional programme can then be implemented using a combination of Atlantic Fertilisers’ water-soluble products, fish hydrolysate and BioKelp X5, with regular applications to support healthy development.  A strong and healthy young tree or vine lays the foundation for a strong and productive mature plant.  Give your crops the advantage it needs from the very beginning.
