Prowse Agriculture would like to introduce their innovative and unique soil program. Our business specialises in rebuilding healthier more productive soils. This program in conjunction with new application technology provides nutrients to the soil and stimulates microbes achieving the most fertile soil for your property.

After many years of using the land so intensely, the soil has been 'mined' and depleted of a lot of its nutrients and has become unbalanced. The soils water retention is generally low due to a poor Ca/Mg ratio and low organic matter, leaving some soils tight and hard to work.

Our business begins its soil program by testing the soil and an independent analysis of the soil is provided. A qualified recommendation can then be made with the option to utilise the micro fine aerial or land application system. Our business specialises in soil fertility and assisting to return your soil to its most fertile state. This will maximise production and nutrition to your crop or pasture while balancing your soils.

Microbial stimulants help the microbes in the soil to work at breaking down thatch and making the soil nutrients accessible to the plant roots, improving their efficiency by way of the microbial activity.

The prescription of elements is 'micro-fined' or ground into a fine flour, blended then the microbial stimulants are added suspended in a matrix of water to make a slurry or paste and applied in one pass by land or air supplying the greatly needed individual prescription in the most available form.

A beef farmer also on the program has seen a remarkable increase in beef production, better pasture and hasn't needed to drench or treat the animals for ticks or buffalo-fly. This farmer was able to reverse soil degradation and build topsoil on unproductive ground with this program.

Depending on how depleted the soil is, farmers will see benefits from eight weeks after application, with visible changes in soil structure, softness, aeration and organic matter by no later than nine months. The program helps balance nutrients and builds humus and topsoil in the soil profile. This provides improved carbon sequestration, nitrogen, trace element and water retention and therefore improved bio-diversity and better quality crops.

This programme is based on application of natural elements and nutrients, which therefore has potential to: 1. Reduce agricultural greenhouse gas emissions and/or increase carbon stored in the soil. 2. Reduce methane emissions from livestock. 3. Reduce nitrous oxide emissions.
