bio active Range

Planted Passion’s Bio-Active range includes majority certified organic products/ allowed inputs. The Bio-Active Fulvic is classed as natural complexing agents (but not certified organic).

The range is comprised of plant biostimulants products, which stimulate the nutrition process (independent of the product’s nutrient content) with the aim of improving the total plant or the plant’s rhizosphere to increase efficiency, tolerate abiotic stress, or confine nutrients in soil or rhizosphere.

The Bio-Active range products have been selected based on quality, technology, analysis, performance and price.

Vinasse extract

*Certified as an Allowed Input for Organic Farming

Bio-Active Vinasse liquid fertiliser is a biologically active, stable form of nutrition that is created from a plant-based material called vinasse extract.

It is the primary by-product generated during the distillation of organic acids from sugar cane molasses fermentation mixtures. As such, it contains every substance added to the fermenter, plus yeast metabolites and yeast cell contents. The primary organic and inorganic chemical components of vinasse are proteins, organic acids, amino acids, unfermented carbohydrates, vitamins, and minerals. High concentrations of biologically active nitrogen, potassium, sulphur, calcium, magnesium is also typically found as components of vinasse, which makes it particularly attractive as a soil amendment/fertiliser.

Bio-Active Vinasse functions by enhancing the nutrient quality of soils and therefore crop production capacity.

Benefits associated with optimum levels of vinasse is;

• Stimulating plant health and durability during crop growth cycles, which in turn leads to enhancing crop yield.
• Thanks to the amino acids and growth promoter betaine, nitrogen is organically fixed and is predominantly a stable release source of growth.
• Highly pre-digested carbohydrates activate the production of beneficial biology. With their help a higher rate of nutrition will be available to the crop.
• The organic substances consist of various rich nutrients, microbial protein, amino acid, vitamins, minerals, and sugar. These simulate microbial proliferation and the development of the root structure of crops.
• Upon application the biological active organic matter assists increasing the levels of humus. While the stimulation of the soil-food web supports the new formation of humus and improved soil structure. Together a stable fertility result and a more efficient nutrient release via fertiliser mobilisation is achieved.
• Vinasse is highly water soluble and has a positive reaction within the soil. This ensures a portion of the nitrogen and other nutrients are readily plant available upon the initial application.
• The content of long chained sugar complex vinasse increases soil micro-organisms and creates a valuable addition to soil fertility, nutrient availability, crop yield and quality.
• Vinasse extract has a positive effect on the physical, chemical, and biological properties of the compost and soil.

Fish Amino Acid

*Certified as an Allowed Input for Organic Farming

Amino acids are building blocks of protein and act as a primary component in the mechanism of a plant cell. Amino acids are readily absorbed and used by the plant as a source of nitrogen and carbon for plants therefore saving the energy expended by the plant. Amino acid plays very important role in enhancing plant productivity.

Bio-Active Fish Amino Acid Liquid and Powder are made from quality fish waste utilising protein hydrolysis biotechnology. This is the technical process of extracting proteins from fish tissues and breaking them into peptides before extracting amino acids out of them. To ensure high quality fertiliser is achieved the application of different enzymes, temperatures and separation methods are used during this process.

Plants need protein for healthy growth and development. Fish Amino Acid help plants regulate phototropism, photosynthesis, stimulate carbon and nitrogen metabolism, enhance nutrient availability in plant growth substrates, increase nutrient uptake and nutrient-use efficiency.

There are a variety of benefits associated with optimum levels of fish amino acid:

• Improved nutrient uptake: Amino acids chelate, or bind to, essential nutrients making them more available for plant uptake. This improves nutrient uptake efficiency and reduces nutrient losses due to leaching.
• Enhanced plant growth: Amino acids promote plant growth by stimulating cell division and elongation. They also enhance root development, which improves nutrient uptake and water absorption.
• Increased stress tolerance: Amino acids help plants to cope with environmental stresses such as drought, heat, and cold by improving plant water status and plant resilience.
• Improved crop quality: Amino acids improve crop quality by enhancing the synthesis of proteins, enzymes, and pigments. This leads to higher yields, better flavour, and improved nutrient content.
• Energy saving: The synthesis of amino acids requires a lot of energy. By supplying the plant with ready-synthesised free amino acids, it conserves energy and can direct its resources towards other processes such as stress resistance, growth, and reproduction.
• Biological soil activity: These fertiliser products contain a high percentage of organic matter, which stimulates biological soil activity and disease suppression.

Fulvic Acid

Fulvic acids are a molecular tonic with dramatically small molecules that make them ideal for foliar spray applications. These smaller fulvic molecules can easily penetrate leaves and cell mitochondria to deliver minerals, nutrients to promote and enhance plant growth.

Fulvic Acid Bio-Active is an easily soluble brown powder with a high analysis of 95% Fulvic acid. This product is a plant-derived, mineral biochemical fulvic acid, which contains high biologically active groups, with a small number of endogenous hormones such as gibberellic and indolic acid.

Internationally, the application of leonardite based fulvic acid in agriculture has achieved gratifying results and has been recognized as the pillar of product options. However, the leonardite resources that are extracted are becoming limited, the product options are becoming more expensive and to maintain supply has become more difficult.

After years of research, our manufacturer utilises a “mineral biochemical method” to produce fulvic acid. The product quality is far better than that of chemically extracted fulvic acid and its biological activity is higher.

The manufacturer utilises a unique technology of biomass and biochemical enzymolysis. This leads to the product containing more biochemical active benefits, including natural plant growth regulators such as nucleic acid, gibberellic acid, indolic acid, etc.

The technical performance of Fulvic Acid Bio-Active offers the best option for farmers. The analysis, quality and production process would be hard to be challenged by alternative options.

There are a variety of benefits associated with optimum levels of Fulvic Acid:

• Provides chelation of nutrients which enhances nutrient absorption into the plant.
• Enhances crop resistance to temperature fluctuations, disease, and stress.
• Increases drought tolerance by reducing the opening degree of the stomata in plant leaves and reduce water transpiration of plants.
• Makes herbicides and fungicides penetrate the leaves of the plant more efficiently.
• Boosts cation exchange capacity.
• Stimulates the plant metabolism which has a positive effect on the plants DNA.
• Stimulates the growth and development of plants.
• Acts as catalyst in plant respiration.
• Enhances and promotes permeability of plant cell membranes.
• Enhances cell division and cell elongation.
• Increases the activity of various enzymes and chlorophyll content in plants.
• Detoxifies various pollutants

• Fulvic acid 95%
• pH 5-7, Solubility 100%
