Nature’s Shield Organic Neem cake fertiliser is an Australian certified organic (ACO) allowed input for organic farming and also are Vegan Australia Certified:
Composed of macro and micronutrients, it increases soil fertility in a variety of ways. The raw material aerates and improves the water-holding capacity of the soil, while the wide spectrum of essential elements and compounds supplies nutrients in a slow-release pattern which promotes plant growth. It can also alkalise the soil by improving the longevity of nitrogen in the soil, which also improves overall soil structure.
The slow, uniform release of nutrients over time means crops and plants are fed continuously throughout their growing season. When used in combination it boosts the efficiency of other fertilisers by inhibiting nitrification of soil. It also aids earthworm proliferation and health, improving the efficiency and growth rate of earthworms when added to vermicompost.
Supports Healthy Earthworm Activity:
Nature’s Shield Organic Neem Cake Fertiliser supports healthy earthworm activity in a number of ways. By improving overall soil structure, it fosters the physical environment earthworms favour, which is damp and also airy. The nutrient load of the neem cakes provides high-quality feed for the earthworms which, accelerates their rate of reproduction and growth.
Used as a soil conditioner and ameliorate:
Nature’s Shield Organic Neem Cake Fertiliser is highly effective in improving and maintaining soil quality. Its unique format of macro and micronutrients improves the physical structure and nutrient content of soil. The organic material provides quality biodegradable mass while also aerating the soil, giving it ideal texture for healthy root growth. Neem Cake fertiliser can also reduce soil alkalinity. Nature’s Shield organic neem cake fertiliser has a comprehensive ameliorate effect on poor grade or damaged soils.
Wide spectrum of nutrients:
Nature’s Shield Organic Neem Cake Fertiliser is rich in 100% naturally occurring NPK (nitrogen-phosphorous-potassium) as well as other essential micronutrients such as calcium, magnesium, sulphur, zinc, copper, iron, manganese, silica. It is also replete in sulphur compounds and bitter limonoids. The unique Neem compound, azadirachtin, works by strengthening the plant’s natural immunity to pests. Organic Neem Cake Fertiliser also inhibits nitrification of soil, thereby making it more fertile.
Advantages of having the neem oil contents in the neem cake fertiliser:
As Nature’s Shield Organic Neem Cake Fertiliser is composed of the solid plant matter left after oil has been extracted, significant traces of neem oil remain in the neem cake fertiliser. This oil residue along with its micronutrients is what enriches the cake with much of its nutrients and pest-controlling factors. Its water-holding and soil-aerating abilities support an ideal soil texture and structure.
