Ferti-Release

Ferti-Release helps you get more out of your soil, naturally. It supports not only the mineralization, but also the resilience of the crop. Ideal in a strategy committed to healthy plants from an active soil.

Ferti-Release - Releasing soil minerals while protecting the plant

Ferti-Release is an innovative bacterial preparation based on the indigenous bacterium Bacillus mucilaginosus. This powerful soil dweller plays a dual role: it makes available captured minerals in the soil and protects the root environment from harmful soil diseases.

In nature, this bacterium already occurs even in extreme conditions. Think of trees growing on bare rock in mountain areas: Bacillus mucilaginosus is often active there. By secreting a strong organic acid, this bacterium can break down rocks, releasing valuable nutrients for the plant, such as phosphate, potassium, calcium and trace elements.

In addition, the bacterium produces natural antibiotics in the rhizosphere (root environment), reducing the opportunity for harmful pathogens. Internationally, this bacterium is often cited as a biological controller of soil-borne diseases such as Fusarium and Rhizoctonia.

Why Ferti-Release?

Ferti-Release lives off root exudates and works optimally in conjunction with active root growth. It is relatively insensitive to soil compaction, but disappears from many agricultural soils due to intensive use of fungicides and long-term blacking of the soil. By targeted application, you can bring this beneficial bacterium back into your soil.

Key features at a glance:

Species: Bascillus mucilaginosus
Native microorganism; suits Dutch soils perfectly
Makes difficult-to-avail nutrients plant available:
- P, K, Ca, B, Zn and other trace elements
Lives off exudates in Rhizosphere (root environment)
Produces Auxin; stimulates root development
Acts as a natural antibiotic; protects against soilborne pathogens
No specific host plant; active in any crop
Synergy with other Ferti-Line and N-xt products, especially Ferti-N*.

*) Ferti-Release can be well mixed and sprayed together with Ferti-N, but also with N-xt Calcium and an N-xt Soil Fertilizer (see specific application per crop below)

Application and Advice

Ferti-Release is a standard recommendation (0.5 ltr/ha) for grassland in a spray for the first cut. The perfect mixing with the N-xt Soil Fertilizer(N-xt N24S) ensures high efficiency of the slurry and resilience of the crop in this initial phase. This is where the foundation is laid for the entire season.

We measure in several field trials with this strategy a qualitatively better protein and a higher share of trace elements. A confirmation of what this additional addition can do.

Application and Advice

In maize cultivation, Ferti-Release (as in grassland) is also advised to be applied mixed with the N-xt Soil Fertilizer. Due to the often implemented effective row fertilization in maize, the dosage of Ferti-Release can also be slightly lower; 0.25 ltr/ha.

As in grassland, corn also shows increased quality with this strategy, through starch and higher trace elements on analyses.

Application and Advice

In the cultivation of potatoes, Ferti-Release can perfectly be sprayed along with the N-xt Calcium application (mix 0.5 ltr/ha along). This spraying takes place at the beginning of the season, gets right around the root zone and can develop there directly to support the crop in this early growth.

The natural antibiotic action of the Ferti-Release is an extra "insurance" in this type of crop to give soil pathogens no chance. It also improves the absorption of important minerals such as calcium, phosphate and trace elements.

Application and Advice

In the cultivation of onions, Ferti-Release can perfectly be sprayed along with the N-xt Calcium application (mix 0.5 ltr/ha along). This spraying takes place around 10-15 cm first pipe length, thus comes nicely around the root zone and can develop there directly to support the crop in this initial growth.

Application and Advice

In sugar beet cultivation, Ferti-Release can be perfectly co-sprayed with the N-xt Calcium application (mix 0.5 ltr/ha with it). This spraying takes place at the beginning of the season, gets right around the root zone and can develop there directly to support the crop in this early growth.

Application and Advice

In the cultivation of field vegetables, Ferti-Release can perfectly be sprayed along with the N-xt Calcium application (mix 0.5 ltr/ha along). This spraying takes place at the beginning of the season, gets right around the root zone and can develop there directly to support the crop in this early growth.

Application and Advice

In the cultivation of cereals, Ferti-Release can perfectly be sprayed along with the Ferti-N (mix 0.5 ltr/ha along). This spraying takes place at the beginning of the season, occurs exactly around the root zone and can develop directly there to support the crop in this early growth.

Recommended dosages Ferti-Release

Ferti-Release is actually only applied in 2 dosages; full-field (with or without N-xt Soil Fertilizer or Ferti-N) in 0,5 ltr/ha and in a row application of 0,25 ltr/ha.

NOTE: Ferti-Release cannot be mixed with all fertilizers! We have done extensive research into the possibility of mixing with the N-xt fertilizers. Because organic compounds are eventually formed with the N-xt technology, the bacillus survives perfectly in the N-xt fertilizers. The Ferti-N is already an organic product, so this goes well together.
