Terramax

Terramax pelleted organic-based fertilizers provide a phased organo-mineral nutrition programme for crop production.

Organic-based, or organo-mineral fertilizers, developed out of the need the utilize organic waste streams (manures) for more sustainable crop production. These wastes are sourced, analysed and scientifically enriched with fertilizers to create soil-specific products. The Bionamix Terramax product range thus ensures a balanced supply of nutrients and improved physical and biological soil conditions.

In the Terramax products the organic base medium supplies energy for microbial processes and the inorganic enrichment ensures the correct, balanced supply of nutrients. As the pellets absorb water, they break down and the organic matter forms a colloidal (or glue-like) medium which increases the soil’s ability to protect nutrients against leaching.

ORGANIC COMPONENT		INORGANIC COMPONENT
	Supplies energy for microbial action microbes break down organic matter and supply nutrients to plants phased nutrient release		Ensures balanced macro and micro nutrient rations
	Improves nutrient-holding capacity of soil decreases nutrient losses in drainage water increases buffer capacity of soils and stabilises soil pH		Supplies nutrients for immediate utilisation by plants
	Improves soil structure and water-holding capacity increases water infiltration, decreases compactibility and crust formation, binds sandy soils, decreases leaching		Meets exact crop-nutrient requirements
			Products can be customised for specific crop-soil interaction
			Enables accurate nutrient management
