Organo-Mineral Fertilisers

Organo-Mineral Fertilisers: Over two years ago Indigrow embarked on changing the make-up of our Impact fertilisers to take account of a move towards a more balanced approach to nutrition and soil biology, primarily by changing the base material from a chemically inert filler to an organic source.

This organic source will act as a food source for the naturally occurring soil flora and fauna. All of the organic sources we use are plant based and GM free.

Since their introduction in 2019, we have been supplying our ImpactPlus range to this specification. When we introduced our Quantum products for 2020, we also continued our commitment to this more organic approach.

As well as both the ImpactPlus and Quantum granular fertilisers, our Humik granular fertilisers and our Impact Organic 14-2-8 products also conform to the organo-mineral standards.

E.U. Organo-Mineral Fertilisers

To be classified as E.U. Organo-Mineral Fertilisers, Organic Carbon should be greater than 7.5% and an Organic Nitrogen content greater than 0.5%.

The Carbon/Nitrogen Ratio

The C/N ratio of all the products is extremely low, eliminating the risk that the soil micro-organisms will “steal” nitrogen from the soil and tie it up as they break down the carbon, which makes the nitrogen unavailable to a crop.

Additional Benefits

In addition to the benefit of being classed as organo-mineral, all of the ImpactPlus products have the additional benefit of our unique bio-stimulant coating, ‘Asset’.

Our ImpactPlus ‘Asset’ coated range of fine turf fertilisers are highly effective on all soil types with differing base nutrient levels, and are proven to help improve turf vigour and root density.

When stressed, plants naturally produce osmolytes to help combat the environmental stresses. Production is favoured under water-deficit or salt stress as they provide stress tolerance to cell without interfering cellular function.

Asset is one of a group of these osmolyte compounds and is extracted from a plant species which has naturally occurring high levels.

Asset helps overcome plant stress and aids recovery by:

  • Osmotic Regulation
  • Cell Membrane Protection
  • Reduction in Free Radical Production
  • Protection of Photosynthetic Biochemical Pathways

Our bio-stimulant, Asset, has been proven in independent trials to increase ground cover of newly sown seed, increase levels of growth and recovery and improve root density.

ICL launches organo-mineral range

ICL launches organo-mineral range: ICL has announced the launch of Gronamic – a new range of organo-mineral fertilizers.

The Gronamic range comprises various analyses and particle sizes to suit the demands of all types of fine and coarse turf. The range combines the benefits of mineral and organic sources of nutrient to provide consistent and long-lasting growth responses.

The granulation process produces consistent, uniform and dust-free products. This range allows you to incorporate all the benefits of organic sources of nutrition into your fertilizer programme without compromising on quality or reliability.

Ed Carter, UK Sales & Development Manager is delighted with this new addition to the ICL fertilizer portfolio: “The introduction of the Gronamic range is a really positive step for ICL,” he says. “We are world leaders in the production of mineral and controlled release fertilizers and adding organic technologies into our portfolio really broadens our reach.

“We know that our customers utilise organic nutrient sources within their management programmes and the Gronamic range now allows them to do this with ICL branded material.”

The Gronamic fertilizers utilise organic and mineral nutrient sources to provide a phased consistent release that creates consistent growth responses. The consistent granulation facilitates even spreading and ensures reliable performance.

There are four products in the Gronamic range:

Gronamic Golf“High N” 16-3-6 +2MgO +2CaO +0.5Fe

Gronamic Golf“High K” 5-0-22 + 2MgO +1.5CaO +0.5Fe

Gronamic Sport“High N” 16-3-6 +2MgO +2CaO +0.5Fe

Gronamic Allround10-4-5 +2MgO +0.5 Fe

All of the products have a low C:N ratio to ensure optimal nutrient availability (as C:N ratio increases plant nutrient availability in short term reduces).

The Gronamic range is also part of Turf Rewards – purchasing 25 x 25kg will earn 5 points.

Please contact ICL on 01473 237100 or visit www.icl-sf.co.uk or www.icl-sf.ie if you are in Ireland.
