WHY SO MANY?
Plant growth is all about the availability of nutrients to the plant, and that means feeding a diverse soil biology that converts essential elements into plant-available forms. By design, Organic Life offers multiple forms of the same nutrient to stimulate various aspects of the unseen workforce. This approach delivers nutrients with different release times, supporting the plant by providing the available nutrients when needed.
SO WHAT DOES EACH NUTRIENT DO?
Nitrogen (N) - In simple terms, nitrogen promotes plant growth and, when supplied in the proper form, along with a balanced potassium analysis, will deliver vigorous plants and superior yield and quality. Nitrogen is associated with leafy, vegetative growth. It’s part of every protein in the plant, including enzymes, so it’s required for virtually every process, from growing new leaves to defending against pests. Nitrogen is also an important part of the ’green’ in chlorophyll, giving plants their green colour and creating food and energy through photosynthesis. A lack of nitrogen is evident as general yellowing of the plant, as chlorophyll density is impaired.
Phosphorus (P) - The ‘energy nutrient’ enables the plant to establish strong root and shoot systems early in the growth cycle, creating the best foundation for growing, flowering and fruit set. Phosphorus is another vital element associated with photosynthesis. It works in two ways: first, assisting in capturing the sun’s energy, and then producing the carbohydrate building blocks used in every plant growth process. Adequate Phosphorus creates a strong foundation in young plants, but many people don’t realise that a plant requires 2-3 times more energy, after establishment, to flower, set a crop and finish with a good yield. Phosphorus needs to be available to the plant every day; that’s why Organic Life® has been developed with several forms of (P) to extend the release and availability.
Potassium (K) - This essential nutrient helps move carbohydrates throughout the plant and aids in fruit filling. Potassium improves plant stress tolerance, stimulates early growth, enhances water use efficiency within cells, and aids in developing resilience against disease and insects. Calcium (Ca) - A vital nutrient needed for cell division and strengthening the cell wall. Good calcium nutrition is associated with improved disease resistance. Calcium also helps many other plant nutrients cross cell membranes during the growth process of plants.
Calcium is required in so many plant processes that it is essential for plant vigour and promoting strong growth throughout the entire production phase and life cycle of the plant. Calcium plays a crucial role in growth and seed formation.
Sulphur (S) - Sulphur partners with nitrogen to produce quality plant proteins. Sulphur is a key component in the development of strong aromatic properties in plants like onions and garlic. Sulphur also helps plants develop natural resistance to disease and aids in growth and seed formation.
Silicon (Si) - Silicon is deposited in the plant cell walls and partners with calcium to improve cell wall structural rigidity and strength, plant and leaf architecture. Silicon in plants can stimulate nutrient uptake and photosynthesis, increase natural immune response and decrease susceptibility to disease and insect damage. Silicon can also alleviate water and environmental stresses associated with water quality (salinity) and various mineral stresses.
APPLICATION RATES:
GENERAL: 100g - 200g per square metre.
ROSE FLOWERS & VEGETABLES: Consider applying TFF Lime Impact as a pre-plant treatment. Spread 200g per sq mtr 1-2 weeks before planting. Work into the top 5-10cm & water. Established - Spread 100g per sq m every 4 - 6 weeks. For annual flowers, apply at early bud formation.
TREE & SHRUBS: Before planting, mix 50g of the soil with the soil at the base of the planting hole. Spread another 50g on top of the soil and under the mulch. Established-spread 100g per sq mtr, away from the trunk and out to the drip line of the plant. Australian Natives - halve the above rates.
FRUIT TREES: Consider applying TFF Lime Impact as a pre-plant treatment. Before planting, mix 100g with the soil in the bottom of the planting hole. Spread another 50g around the drip line and cover with mulch. Established - spread 500g up to 4kg for older trees. For Citrus apply in July, November & March.
STRAWBERRIES: Spread 200g per square meter and mix into the soil during bed formation. Side dress rows once every 4-6 weeks - 75g per metre of row after flowering commences.
VINES & BULBS: Spread 100g per sq mtr before planting. Side dress rows once every 4-6 weeks - 75g per metre of row after flowering commences.
