APPLICATIONS OF BIO-STRU

BIO-STRU FOR AGRICULTURE

  • BIO-STRU is a micro granulate, usable for all crops, provided that the norm of phosphate quantity is respected.
  • Despite a much lower quantity needed, BIO-STRU is taking care of a 100% guarantied yield and protects the environment
  • BioStru is is a precision fertilizer which can be applied in seedlines.
  • It complies with the purpose of Green deal ‘Fit for 55’. Green deal demands 50% less nutrient losses and 20% less mineral fertilizer to apply.
  • BIO-STRU, as P source, can perfectly be combined with additionional potasium and nitrogen , is usuable for all field crops and vegetable cultures.

Practical Information:

  • BIO-STRU is put in the seedlines by using microgranuline and fertilizer on seed machines.
  • BIO-STRU doses for corn is 25 kg / 10000 sq.m.
  • BIO-STRU doses for potatoes is 35 kg / 10000 sq. m.
  • It is perfect for use of Onions and other shallow rooting crops.
  • Packages :
    • Big bags of 600 kg
    • Sacs of 20 kg
    • Plastic box 3 or 10 kg

In light of upcoming restrictions on mineral fertilizer due to increasing heavy metals and other pollutants, BIO-STRU will be the ideal alternative.

DURABLE SOLUTION FOR CHANGING AGRICULTURE

THE PROBLEM OF CONVENTIAL FERTILIZER

  • Conventional fertilizer contains salts. Those salts are extracting the liquids of several organisms in the soil. Helpful bacteria and fungi in the soil are destroyed . As a consequence, agriculture land erodes and loses fertility.
  • Applying conventional fertilizer is supplying TOO much nutrients at once, disturbing again the soil balance.
  • Because of rainfall, the overload of phosphorus will be lost as it dilutes groundwater, causing a disbalance of live in rivers, seas and oceans.
  • In acid soils, a large part of the phosphorus is bound to iron and aluminum. That phosphorus is NO longer available for plants
  • In basic soils, a large part of the phosphorus is bound to calcium. That phosphorus is also no longer available for plants
  • Conventional fertilizers are more and more contaminated with pollutants like cadmium.

HOW CAN THE STRUVITE EFFECT HELP ?

  • Struvite is a precision fertilizer . Through innovative techniques, the struvite is put near the future roots of the plant. The consequence is that much smaller quantities of phosphorus are needed. The struvite is put where the plants need it. As phosphorus is not mobile , the struvite is put near the seeds.
  • No nutrients are lost : There is no surface runoff because of the rain. Struvite is a crystal and does not dissolve it. Hence there is no nutrient loss . No phosphorus is going to waterways and no phosphorus is bound to aluminum, iron or calcium. The phosphorus remains entirely available for the plant.
  • Precision delivery of nutrients towards the plant : The plant’s roots produce organic acids and make the struvite dissolve. As such the uptake of Phosphorus is aligned with the need by the plant itself. Basically said, th eplant decides how much phosphorus is needed. The rest remains entirely available for the future.
  • Struvite is containing NO salts. As a consequence, no helpful bacteria and fungi are destroyed. The soil remains a living soil.
