Plants can absorb nutrients through their leaves in a process called foliar feeding. Foliar feeding is the application of liquid fertilizer directly to the leaves of a plant. The fertilizer is absorbed through the stomata, which are small pores on the surface of the leaves. Foliar feeding is a quick and easy way to provide […]

Envirolizer, an “Environmentally Friendly Fertilizer” made from 100% Natural Minerals. Here are some reasons why farmers should consider using Envirolizer: Reduced environmental impact: Envirolizer is made from natural materials and does not contain synthetic chemicals that can harm the environment. They help reduce soil and water pollution and do not contribute to greenhouse gas emissions. […]

A crucial nutrient, calcium supports the cellular walls of plants and is essential for the formation of new cells. Frequent fruit illnesses like blossom-end rot, which is common in tomatoes and peppers, can result from a calcium deficit. For annual crops like vegetables, include winter shortly before digging. The calcium carbonate works during the winter […]

The deteriorating soil fertility can be countered by zeolite clinoptilolite natural minerals. Zeolite has the capacity to bind nutrients delivered by fertilizer application or put another way, zeolite has the capacity to preserve fertilizer. Plant roots progressively assimilate the bound nutrients. Zeolite usage results in fertilizer cost savings. It should be kept in mind that […]

Envirolizer has calcium-containing components, as its name would imply. This component plays a crucial part in the physiological cycle of plants. The simple explanation below is that calcium might aid in preparing plant cell walls and encourage growth. It helps the plant’s metabolism so that nutrients can be adequately absorbed. The development of plant cells […]

A research study conducted by Janaka Priyankara Wickramashinge from Iowa State University back in 2015 on the effect of “Calcite Foliar Fertilizer’ on Growth, Yield and Nutritional Composition of Sorghum (Sorghum bicolor L. Moench) Cultivated under Field Condition as a Fodder for Dairy Cattle proves how effective calcite is. Among the various ways of supplying […]

Photosynthesis. What exactly is it?🌱 Photosynthesis is the conversion of light energy into food by plants. What role does chlorophyll play? Chlorophyll is a green pigment found in plants that captures light energy and is present in chloroplasts. Light and water are absorbed through the stomata (in the leaves), while raw materials are absorbed through […]

Potatoes Green Potatoes Green potatoes are a common problem for farmers. Green potatoes occur when exposed to light or not stored properly due to the formation of chlorophyll. Light energy is absorbed by chlorophyll and then this light energy is used to convert carbon dioxide (CO2) from the air & water from the soil into […]
