Grow your crops stronger and help them live longer
Aquagrain Crops can cut irrigation requirements by up to 50%
Plants survive up to 16 days longer without irrigation if planted with Aquagrain Crops.
Aquagrain Crops can increase crop yield by as much as 3 times.
Aquagrain Crops is simple to use, can be applied by hand or by standard mechanical spreaders or with the drill.
What does it do?
Aquagrain incorporates organic waste from the food industry into a biodegradable, carbon chain polymer which absorbs up to 30 times its mass in liquid, providing your crops with food and drink for when irrigated - in a sustainable way.
Its organic content, with enhanced micronutrients, not only supplies your crops with valuable nutrients, cutting the requirement for inorganic fertilisers, it also significantly stimulates microbial activity in the soil and is ideal for regenerative farming practices.
Aquagrain biodegrades over 12 months to leave just water, COâ‚‚ and organic matter in your soil.
Why should I use it?
If you grow in free draining soils, rely on rainfall for a crop, or have high crop irrigation costs, using Aquagrain Crops will cut your irrigation requirements and increase your crop yield, both in quality and quantity.
Your crops will continue to thrive with Aquagrain Crops when crops without it start to suffer water stress.
Aquagrain can cut your irrigation requirements by up to 50%.
If you grow crops on sandy soil, another unique Aquagrain property will cut sand blow down by 99% at winds up to 30 mph.
How much do I need?
​
Typical spread rates would be 500 kg per hectare or 50 g per 5 ltr pot, if crop growing in a controlled environment.
Because Aquagrain Crops contains NPK at 5.4 -6.2- 4.2, as well as micronutrients, standard crop fertiliser treatments may need to be reduced.
Because Aquagrain Crops cuts leachate by up to 60%, liquid fertilisers will be absorbed by Aquagrain and prevented from leaching away, cutting your liquid fertiliser and liquid ‘ide requirements.
