13 Jul What water rates should I use when applying BioAg products?
There is no set water rate. For Soil & Seed or Digest-it which are applied to soil you require enough water to ensure that the application breaks the soil crust. Water rates can be as low as 80L/ha (i.e. for helicopter application) and up to 2000L/ha...
13 Jul How quickly will I see results?
Much depends on the starting point i.e. the ‘health’ of your soil and plants and also the farm or orchard infrastructure available to implement the BioAg programmes. The BioAg system promotes continual improvement. We have seen very positive responses inside six months but generally it...
13 Jul In time as my soils evolve biologically will the rates and frequency of BioAg application change?
Yes. This will be due to improved nutrient dynamics as result of consistent implementation of BioAg programmes. The BioAg philosophy is to address and rectify the causes (rather than treat the symptoms) of declining soil fertility and structure and therefore increase plant and animal health and...
13 Jul I am an organic grower. Do BioAg products completely replace inputs I have traditionally used like fish, seaweed, molasses etc?
In most cases yes. The cultures are made with ingredients which include humic acids, seaweed and kelp, fish hydrolysate, carbohydrates, etc. These become metabolised into forms that are most readily available to micro-organisms. The various BioAg formulations are food resources for soil and plant biology which...
13 Jul Can I use my other fertilisers as well?
A BioAg fertility programme incorporates all required fertilisers. You don’t need to add anything. In fact this may be counter-productive....
13 Jul Is BioAg a fertiliser?
Yes, it is a set of fertilisers with the exception of RumiMate which is an animal nutritional supplement. The value of the BioAg liquids is far greater than the "NPK" analysis due to the culturing process during manufacture which metabolises the ingredients into biological forms. The...
13 Jul Will BioAg help prevent bloat?
Bloat is caused by too much nitrogen in the plant. The nitrogen will displace phosphate in cool, cloudy or wet weather and magnesium will not be available to slow the release of nitrogen into the plant. Clover can release a lot of nitrogen in those...
13 Jul What is the role of Lime (calcium) in BioAg programmes?
Calcium is the foundation energy source for the soil/plant system. Once good biological activity is established calcium will be readily made available from the base reserves in your soil. It may require periodic applications (at low rates) to act as a catalyst and for maintenance....
13 Jul Why do you recommend that BioAg soil and foliar products be applied within 48 hours of each other for tree and vine crops?
This application regime applies almost exclusively to tree and vine crops as well as berry fruit crops including strawberry. It does not apply for pasture. Experience spanning nearly 20 years has shown that they interact with each other to stimulate the translocation of calcium and phosphate...
