Fertilizer market hosts a wide range of products containing humic substances of various nature and origin. The sources of humic substances are leonardites, peats, sapropels et al. However Uspich fertilizers possess a different nature, thus being truly unique products. They are made from vermicompost (biohumus) which is produced by means of vermicomposting, i.e. cattle manure processing by earthworms (Red Wigglers, a.k.a. California Red worms or Eisenia fetida).
Uspich production technology makes it possible to preserve ll biologically active substances of vermicompost in the fertilizers made from it. At the background of humus the fertilizers contain macroelements (N, P, K, Ca), mesoelements (Mg, S) and microelements (Fe, B, Mn, Cu, Zn, Mo, Co, Se) in organic form, growth regulators (auxins, cytokinins, gibberellins), phytohormones, amino acids, vitamins and useful microflora.
Vermicompost is a pliant substance which smells like a fertile soil (black earth orchernozem). It has a wonderful structure and a high water-holding capacity. Great amount (up to 32% in dry matter) of humus substances (humic acids, fulvic acids and humins) enriches this organic fertilizer with agrochemical and growth-stimulating properties. All nutrients are mobile and available to plants.
Vermicomposting is based on the ability of earthworms to consume the organic matter, transform it in the gut passage and excrete it in the form of coprolites. In the process of biological conversion cattle manure turns into a valuable organic fertilizer. Around 2000 species of microbes are engaged in vermicomposting in asymbiotic interaction with the earthworms. This interaction accelerates organic matter decomposition.
Animal and poultry farm waste may seem safe at first glance, but it isn’t true. The waste usually contains pathogens, helminth eggs and weed seeds. That is why applying animal and poultry farm waste directly into soil isn’t always reasonable. The key to solving the problem is the farm waste management by means of vermicomposting with the following production of the fertilizers made from vermicompost.
As a fertilizer, vermicompost contains useful microflora, plant growth and development hormones and humus substances. Unlike manure, vermicompost possess antimicrobial properties.
Heavy metals accumulate in earthworms during the vermicomposting process. This enables to remove a part of the heavy metals from the substrate and thus reduce the risks of soil contamination.
Uspich fertilizers have antimicrobial and antifungal properties. They contain all biologically active substances of vermicompost. Uspich fertilizers are mostly liquids.
Uspich fertilizers are eco-friendly, efficient and economical. Owing to the available NPK and the fact that humic substances improve the uptake of earlier unavailable nutrients, Uspich fertilizers can be applied either separately or in combination with mineral fertilizers. In that case the rates of application of mineral fertilizers can be reduced by 20-30%. Only 30-70% of nutrients (NPK) brought to soil with mineral fertilizers are known to be used by the plants. The rest is a dead weight which can only bring salinization and soil erosion. The saddest part of it is the destruction of humus, the major source of soil fertility, which can result in the irreversible depletion of soil.
Systematic application of Uspich fertilizers as a part of agricultural technologies can promote recovery of the degraded soils.
Uspich fertilizers possess high antimicrobial and antifungal activity. They are safe and harmless for men, animals and insects. Uspich fertilizers contain all the components of biohumus: humates, fulvates, amino acids, vitamins, natural phytohormones, macro- and microelements, spores of soil microorganisms. Uspich fertilizers can provide for successful growth and development of plants.
Humus substances of Uspich fertilizers help intensify growth and activity of different groups of microorganisms, which participate in mobilization of soil nutrients. Organic acids and carbonic acid, formed in the process of humus organic matter decomposition, turn the unavailable and/or not fully available forms of compounds to the forms available to plants. Both the uptake of ammonia and amide nitrogen by the plants together with the phosphorus mobility increase. Correspondingly, this gives rise to a higher content of the elements which are vital for the plants’ growth and development.
Humus substances are natural polyelectrolytes. Together with organic and mineral particles of soil they form the soil absorbing complex. Great amount of differentfunctional groups of humus substances conditions their capacity for absorbing and holding soil nutrients, which are not washed out by water and are not bound by soil minerals due to their availability.
Humus substances are capable of reducing soil acidity. Absorption properties of humus substances regarding harmful soil admixtures and pesticides allow soil to sanitate and recover its fertility. Soil fertility and crop yield are influenced by the interdependent processes which occur with an immediate participation of humus substances.
Regarding the foliar feedings, Uspich fertilizers are applied directly to the plants’ leaves. This stimulates and activates physiological and biochemical processes, makes for capturing solar energy and for its further delivery to plant cells to produce chlorophyll. Being digested by plants, Uspich nutrients and growth substances act at the cellular level to boost plant immunity. This helps plants fight pathogens better and recover sooner.
Penetrating through the leaf surface down to the root system, Uspich fertilizers trigger the mechanisms allowing plants to consume the earlier unavailable mineral substances. Strong and healthy plants bring yield increase and enhancement of agricultural products quality.
Regarding:
- gluten and protein content;
- oil content;
- sugar content;
- vitamin content.
Locating at the cell surface, humic substances of Uspich fertilizers act as a filter. They hold back and decontaminate toxic elements of pesticides and at the same time activate plant immune system. Humic substances remove heavy metals and radioactive nuclides from the circulation of soil elements, binding them into insoluble and slow-moving complexes.
Thus humic substances prevent harmful compounds from penetrating into plants.
