A thorough and well-written piece, good show Cristiano ... marketing is the key, always has been ...TK is a brilliant concept - an organic fertiliser at cost lower than the inorganic competition, produced at lower opcost following considerably lower capex, with a far lower 'carbon footprint' net-net i'd guess, all that good stuff ... far less frequent application means lower equipment and fuel costs for the farmer, less compaction for his roots ... can't go wrong with this on any operational basis, far as i can see, only tricks involved are marketing and finance - you have to convince the people who spend the money, quite the uphill battle in this market, just have to keep slogging on
Question - does the '47' in 'TK47' refer to 47 identifiable nutrients? ... i'm guessing it does - macro-nutrients from K down to Mg and S, then all the micros ... further science in years to come will likely identify more, maybe have to change the branding to TK53 next decade, lol
Micro-nutrients are extremely important, you never know how much until you lack one completely ... near the coast here, a lot can be had for the garden scale through collecting seaweed, it definitely makes a difference in the taste of tomatoes and the like
In re - 'TK47 significantly increases the availability of phosphate in the soil; ' - most soils have more than enough P in them, it's a matter of how available it is to root hairs, or to the mychorrhizae that aid them ... a very complex inter-acting collection of factors go into P-availability, pH is one factor that's easy to test, many others are not ... and each factor involved is affected by levels of certain other factors, it seems, while the whole business is less than fully understood ... but usually, the P is there, trick is to let the plant have some, at least until the land has been cropped for many years, then you may need to add ... so if the company has documented tests on this increase of availability it's an important selling point |
