Organics Matter Soft Rock Phosphate - 50Kg

Description

Organics Matter Soft Rock Phosphate is an organically certified soft rock that is mined in South Africa, which is also known as rock dust.

The Organics Matter Soft Rock Phosphate is a slow release organic phosphate amendment that will help reduce the number of pests, increase your yield and improve the flower of your harvest. The Organics Matter Soft Rock Phosphate is generally used for the long run when it comes to obtaining healthy living soil.

When it comes to nitrogen loss, the Organics Matter Soft Rock Phosphate is well known for for reducing nitrogen loss. The rock phosphate helps to control odour as a result of using organic fertilizers such as manure or fish emulsion extracts.

Over the years sedimentation from cold mineral rich fish waters along the West Coast of the Cape has formed valuable deposits which became further enriched by fossil marine and terrestrial animals who contributed threefold to that unique now shallowly covered phosphate occurrence as it is mined today. Altogether, 300 different species of prehistoric animals and a number of plants have been identified so far.

Contains:

Phosporus
The total phosphorus content amounts to 8-10% P - expressed as tri-calcium phosphate – 63% of the product is in this form. By repeated extraction all of it is soluble in 2% citric acid. As an indication of the immediately available fraction, the first extraction dissolves 5% P.

Calcium
Langfos contains 20% of calcium. Because of the linkage of phosphorus with calcium, its neutralising effect increases by the amount of phosphorus that becomes available and is taken up. The remainder of calcium is in the form of carbonates and silicates.

Micro-elements
With the exception of cobalt (Co) which is more important to animals, Langfos provides essential iron (Fe), sulphur (S), magnesium (Mg), molybdenum (Mo) and zinc (Zn). All of them contribute in supplementing soil reserves where Langfos is a regular part of the fertilisation programme.

Benefits:

As Langfos is not water soluble, it’s a slow release product which releases the phosphate to the plants over many years assisting the farmer to build up healthy lands. It enriches the soil with trace elements and stimulates root growth and helps with photosynthesis in all plants.

General recommendations for usage

Langfos can be applied according to need of soil (P) analysis. Langfos will never cause a problem if too much is applied. Recommendations can range from 100kg to 1500kg per hectare. Consult one of our agents in this regard.

Langfos and ammonium sulphate nitrogen is a very good combination, which is further improved if mixed with any organic fertilizer.
