13 Jul What water rates should I use when applying BioAg products?
There is no set water rate. For Soil & Seed or Digest-it which are applied to soil you require enough water to ensure that the application breaks the soil crust. Water rates can be as low as 80L/ha (i.e. for helicopter application) and up to 2000L/ha...
13 Jul I would like to try BioAg out with just Soil & Seed. Will that work?
Think of using BioAg like following a recipe – if you leave things out the result is likely to disappoint! BioAg is very cost competitive. We simply ask growers and farmers who want to try BioAg to do so with a full programme. We would far...
13 Jul How quickly will I see results?
Much depends on the starting point i.e. the ‘health’ of your soil and plants and also the farm or orchard infrastructure available to implement the BioAg programmes. The BioAg system promotes continual improvement. We have seen very positive responses inside six months but generally it...
13 Jul In time as my soils evolve biologically will the rates and frequency of BioAg application change?
Yes. This will be due to improved nutrient dynamics as result of consistent implementation of BioAg programmes. The BioAg philosophy is to address and rectify the causes (rather than treat the symptoms) of declining soil fertility and structure and therefore increase plant and animal health and...
13 Jul Are there generic label rates and timings or do I have to stick to a programme from BioAg?
We are developing base generic label rates and base programmes as we establish history and experience in New Zealand. However, best results and least cost will be achieved by following a programme built for your soils and crops. There is no extra charge for this service....
13 Jul I believe I need a source of nitrogen for growth. What about fish and other nitrogen sources?
Fish hydrolysate is sometimes required in BioAg programmes but at low rates (usually 8-10l/Ha) as a catalyst and sometimes we are using the phosphate in the fish to draw calcium into the plant rather than as a source of nitrogen. In conventional farming systems we may...
13 Jul I am an organic grower. Do BioAg products completely replace inputs I have traditionally used like fish, seaweed, molasses etc?
In most cases yes. The cultures are made with ingredients which include humic acids, seaweed and kelp, fish hydrolysate, carbohydrates, etc. These become metabolised into forms that are most readily available to micro-organisms. The various BioAg formulations are food resources for soil and plant biology which...
13 Jul Can I use my other fertilisers as well?
A BioAg fertility programme incorporates all required fertilisers. You don’t need to add anything. In fact this may be counter-productive....
13 Jul Is BioAg a fertiliser?
Yes, it is a set of fertilisers with the exception of RumiMate which is an animal nutritional supplement. The value of the BioAg liquids is far greater than the "NPK" analysis due to the culturing process during manufacture which metabolises the ingredients into biological forms. The...
