A unique product containing Magnesium & Calcium, Organic Matter and Fungi for Soil, Stock & Crop Health. VitaLife increases the development of humus. Humus, the organic ‘glue’ in the soil, results from the breakdown of organic matter by beneficial fungi and bacteria. These, along with earthworms, decompose surface litter providing rapid humus development. As humus develops in soils there is an increase in the level of plant available nutrients, increased storage capacity for nutrients, greater moisture holding ability and improved drainage. The organic matter is an important carbon source and provides an initial food source for beneficial microbes. Fungi are added as the majority of agricultural soils are now fungi-deficient which can explain low brix levels, low calcium and phosphate levels in the leaf, limited disease resistance and poor retention of calcium in some soils. VitaLife Magnesium, containing Dolomite, provides a natural form of Magnesium and Calcium in a ratio consistent with that required for plant uptake. The Calcium/Magnesium ratio in the soil largely determines the availability of oxygen in the soil and Oxygen is perhaps the most important element for beneficial soil microbes as most of these creatures are aerobic. Benefits of applying VitaLife Magnesium:-
When applied to pastures VitaLife Magnesium will increase magnesium levels in clovers and grasses ensuring improved stock health and is particularly effective in reducing the incidence of calcium/magnesium related metabolic disorders in lactating animals. |
