GroMor’s patented manufacturing process for GroMor 100% Organic Fertiliser has resulted in a new and unique product unlike anything else in the Australian market. Conventional decomposition typically reduces the quality and nutrient value of the end product. GroMor’s six stage process consistently creates a high nutrient and carbon content without losing the beneficial biology. GroMor gives year round life to your garden or crop because it provides essential nutrients to plants and nourishes the soil with organic carbon and beneficial microbes.

GroMor 100% Organic Fertiliser - Technical Notes

There are 15 essential elements necessary in varying amounts and ratios for plant growth. Satisfying only some of these nutrients will not remove impediments to achieving optimum results. All limiting factors must be addressed such as sunlight, water, temperature, nutrition, etc

Nitrogen (N)
Nitrogen is usually found in fertilisers in one of three forms: ammonium, urea and nitrate. When selecting a fertiliser, seek out one with nitrogen in nitrate form as it is the most effective form for plant uptake. Ammonium and urea forms are more soluble and prone to losses from leaching and evaporation. In nitrate form, bacteria have converted the ammonium and urea forms into nitrate. Nitrogen is important for the plant’s phosphorus uptake and when in nitrate form, is less volatile and less likely to ‘burn’ plants.

The nitrogen in GroMor is totally in nitrate form.

Phosphorus (P)
This element is essential for root development, disease resistance and cold tolerance. Plants adsorb it as orthophosphate ions and are directly benefit from it. GroMor is particularly high in phosphorus (62% as much phosphorus as Super phosphate) and it is in an available form. Organically certifiable sources of phosphorus are mainly rock phosphate (RPR) which is 20% Phosphorus but in a form that is not directly available to plants.

Potassium (K)
Essential for protein formation, growth, flowering, and most other essential plant functions. Organically certifiable sources of potassium are available and these can be added to GroMor.

Acidity or pH.
This is a logarithmic index of the concentration of hydrogen ions in the soil. Values below 7.0 are acid, and above are alkaline. At normal fertilizer application rates, there is minimal effect on the pH of soil unless it is almost pure sand and has a very low buffering capacity. GroMor’s pH is around 6.0 and can be buffered up to 7.0 by the addition of lime or dolomite. Acidity levels are important because different elements are more or less available at different pH levels. Optimum is 6.3 to 6.5.

Electrical Conductivity (EC)
This is a measure of the salt content of a soil, liquid or fertilizer. It is measured in units called milliSiemens and is sometimes called the ‘EC level’.

Some EC ratings are:
Seawater-2400;
Rain water- 0;
GroMor- 500-600, which less than most synthetic fertilizers.

Organic Carbon (OC)
The component of soil that holds the biggest reserve of nutrients. It is the decomposed part of plant matter and should not be confused with humus or compost. GroMor has 25% or greater levels of OC.

Note: An incorrect assumption is that mulch is high in organic carbon but for every 100 tonnes of mulch or organic matter added to soil, only 1 tonne ends up as organic carbon (1.0%).

Other Essential Elements
Magnesium (Mg), Calcium (Ca), Iron (Fe), Zinc (Zn), Sulphur (S).

GroMor is high in Mg, high in Ca and S, low in Fe and Zn.
