Agrii-Fortis

The Agrii-Fortis range of organically approved liquid fertilisers are high in organic matter in the form of 6-Carbon sugars and other plant derived components, which can help to improve the organic structure of the soil. 

The soil organic carbon plays a fundamental role throughout the nutritional cycle: it improves the physical, chemical and biological characteristics of the soil.  Research has shown that adding sugars to soils can increase microbial activity in the rhizosphere resulting in many benefits including:

• Increased nutrient cycling.
• Helps to protect soil carbon.
• Increases root structures.
• Works to balance soil C:N ratios.
• Helps to reduce stress of liquid fertilisers.
• Stimulates soil biology.

The Role of Sugars

• Sugars in a simple form are ‘microbial food’.
• Sugars are rapidly utilised by microbes as sugars are in humans.
• They provide a key carbon and energy source for soil life.
• Molasses supply carbohydrates and help soil C:N ratios.
• Molasses can help with Nitrogen Use Efficiency, increasing  mineralisation rates of organic N in soils from soil bacteria.
• They play a clear role in helping to maintain and stimulate all microbial activity in the rhizosphere helping to mobilise nutrients from unavailable forms for plant uptake.

The Agrii-Fortis Range

The Agrii-Fortis range consists of;

• Agrii-Fortis CP (Carbon Protect)
• Agrii-Fortis NB (Nutrient Boost) 
• NEW: YaraSuna Fortis SBo 

Key field data has shown how Agrii-Fortis fertilisers can dramatically affect the efficiency of nutrient delivery to crops.

Agrii-Fortis CP (Carbon Protect)

• Can be mixed with liquid fertilisers to minimise the effects of scorch.
• Can be used on stubbles to support soil born bacterial communities.
• High translocation rate in plants via cell walls.
• Can be added to tank mixes to aid efficacy/uptake of nutrient applications.
• Helps to balance soil microbial populations.
• Maximum Single Application - 10 kgs/ha 8 l/ha (SG 1.3). 
• Total Season Application - 40 kg/ha 30 l/ha.

Agrii-Fortis NB (Nutrient Boost)

• Can be used to reinforce foliar plant health.
• An organic nitrogen source from a plant source.
• Is able to act as a fuel for plant cells to help improve uptake 
  of nutrients through diffusion, modulation and absorption.
• Energy for both plants and beneficial micro-organisms.
• Contains high levels of trace elements, helps to increase 
  beneficial microbial flora.
• Can be added to tank mixes to aid efficacy/uptake of 
  nutrient applications.
• Maximum Single Application - 100 kgs/ha 77 l/ha (SG 1.3). 
• Total Season Application - 250-300 kg/ha 192-230 l/ha.
