Biotics

Fertiliser application in the soil is only part of the plan. There is a need for improving crop yields at a reduced cost and a better understanding of the factors that contribute to the overall efficiency of applied fertilizers. It is estimated that under tropical condition, the efficiency of applied N is less than 50%, less than 10% for P and for K it is somewhere around 40%. Plant performance is dictated by its ability to take up that nutrition and turn it into yield.

Wilchem have introduced our Biotics range, a full life cycle program of beneficial fungi and bacteria that have been identified to improve nutrient cycling and plant uptake. This will lead to a functional soil, healthier crop, better disease resistance and ultimately, higher yield.

Each crop type has a Game Plan using an offensive and defensive team with a coach to help coordinate the system.
