FoliMAX Soil Prima Liquid Conditioner 20L

FoliMAX Soil Prima is a liquid soil conditioner that improves soil aggregation, soil structure and nutrient utilisation in the root zone. FoliMAX Soil Prima contains modified patented humates, which acts as a complexing agent for mobilising soil nutrients in forms which are readily available for plants. Turf grasses have an abundance of organic material resulting in complex interactions between plant roots and soil microbes.

FoliMAX Soil Prima provides the energy source to accelerate microbes oxidising the available organic carbon present in the soil and utilise it as their energy source. The recycling of thatch and mat creates a more friable layer that enables water to pass through more freely, and aids in flushing sulfur build ups. i.e. Black Layer.

FoliMAX Soil Prima will improve CEC levels in the soil. As soil microbes breakdown the thatch, and Humic acid activity increases in the soil the availability of nutrients increases in all soil types.

Fulvic and Humic Acid

Humic Acids improve soil function in a number of ways. Humic Acid is characterised by a large molecule containing a highly active charge. This charge bonds nutrient ions, preventing leaching of soil nutrients. Humic acids also increase the nutrient retention and water holding capacity of the soil re: CEC (Cation-exchange Capacity). The application of Humic acid to soil gives the soil greater capacity to maintain a nutrient rich environment in the root zone for turf grasses.

Fulvic Acids are the smallest molecular form of Humic Acid molecules. Fulvic Acid has been shown to be a powerful complexing agent, binding to minerals and assisting with making them more available for plant absorption. It has also been shown to increase levels of the plant hormone auxin and contribute to over plant performance and effective root growth.

The true strength of Soil Prima is that it contains both Fulvic Acid and Humic Acid, hitting the mark on both fronts.

Soil Prima contains modified sulphonated humates, which act as a complexing agent for mobilizing soil nutrients in forms which are readily available to plants. Soil Prima is also a source of metabolisable energy for the soil microbes present in the root zone. In addition the product supplies added functional carbon, sulphur and potassium to the plant.

Root zone activity and the rapid recycling of organic material such as thatch and mat, is the key to increasing CEC levels. Turf grass surfaces have an abundance of organic material build-up, resulting in complex interactions between plant roots and soil microbes. Soil Prima provides the energy source to accelerate the microbes oxidizing the available organic carbon present in the soil and allowing them to utilise it as their energy source. In turn, microbes transfer previously unavailable nutrients back to the living plant.

The recycling of organic matter creates a more friable layer which in turn allows water to pass through more easily and aids in flushing sulphur accumulation, the root cause of ‘black layer’.

With an emphasis on root development and structure, the ability of Soil Prima to stabilise a surface has been obvious. Not only is it important to promote root depth, it is also equally important to create fibrous roots and the branching root volume and density which build performance in the soil/sand.
