Tri-Kelp™, the new 100% soluble kelp powder from NTS is proving a particularly popular introduction. This remarkably cost effective and user-friendly fertiliser consists of three proven kelp varieties which include Laminaria, Sargassum and Ascophyllum nodosum. This combination offers a unique balance of the plant promoting and soil-life stimulating characteristics for which kelp is renowned. (more…)

The Webster Dictionary defines the word scientific as “the use of knowledge pertaining to science, especially to natural science.” In this context, modern, chemical farming is anything but scientific. In fact, in many ways it is anti-science, constantly denying irrefutable natural laws in the pursuit of dubious chemical solutions. It is not scientific to don your sweat-soaked space suit to poison your entire working environment, indiscriminately slaughtering beneficial insects above ground and your precious microbial workforce and defense team beneath the surface. It is anti-science to constantly expose the human body to these toxins, and it defies both natural and moral laws to supply chemically contaminated produce to the community at large. (more…)

The proven control system involves plastic traps which are utilised at a rate of four traps per hectare. The traps are charged with a unique blend of native oils which are irresistible to the male of the species. When the male has been taken out of the equation both the breeding process and associated egg-laying fruit damage are seriously reduced. (more…)

The theory behind Micronised Mineral Suspension (MMS) is based upon the premise that a tiny 5-micron particle size presents a massive total surface area to the microbial workforce. The larger the surface area, the more rapid the solubilisation process, simply because billions more microbes can sit at the table. The small starting size is also relevant here. It is obviously easier to acid-digest a minuscule grain of sand than it is to break down a boulder. Nutri-Tech research suggests that the release time for fertigated MMS products is just six days. In that time, the full nutrient lode has been delivered to the plant. The comparison between Ag-lime and Lime-Life™ highlights the ‘fast-food’ delivery of the MMS nutrients. Ag-lime releases its calcium component over twelve to eighteen months, compared to an MMS delivery time of less than a week. (more…)

American scientist, Professor Phil Callahan, has identified a subtle energy called paramagnetism. This energy has been shown to enhance root development and stimulate the multiplication of beneficial micro-organisms. Paramagnetism is the capacity of the soil to receive, store and convert electromagnetic energy from the atmosphere. Somewhere in the world there are at least 2000 to 4000 lightning bolts per minute. The lightning creates an energy source in the atmosphere, which is present as ELF (extremely low frequency) radio waves. Paramagnetic material acts as an antenna to receive and store this ELF energy, but it can also convert this energy to another form – light! (more…)

Biological farming is about sustainability, profitability and new-found enthusiasm, and it is based on working with nature rather than against her. The proactive bio-farmer drives the crop cycle with a confidence based on knowledge and understanding. The master of the growing craft appreciates the holistic essence of crop management. Often complex interrelationships can be better understood within a framework. Key concepts should be identified to develop an umbrella perspective. The key concepts in high-yielding agriculture are not calcium, humus management or soil balance, as we might suspect. The single most important determinants of yield are in fact chlorophyll and photosynthesis. (more…)
