Organics Matter Micronized Soft Rock Phosphate

Organics Matter Micronized Soft Rock Phosphate

Mined in South Africa

Langfos contains:

Phosphorus
The total phosphorus content amounts to 8-10% P – expressed as tri-calcium phosphate – 63% of the product is in this form. By repeated extraction, all of it is soluble in 2% citric acid. As an indication of the immediately available fraction, the first extraction dissolves 5% P.

Calcium
Langfos contains 20% calcium. Because of the linkage of phosphorus with calcium, its neutralising effect increases by the amount of phosphorus that becomes available and is taken up. The remainder of calcium is in the form of carbonates and silicates.

Micro-elements
With the exception of cobalt (Co) which is more important to animals, Langfos provides essential iron (Fe), sulphur (S), magnesium (Mg), molybdenum (Mo) and zinc (Zn). All of them contribute to supplementing soil reserves where Langfos is a regular part of the fertilisation programme.

BENEFITS:

Langfos is not water-soluble, it’s a slow-release product that enriches the soil with trace elements, stimulates root growth and helps with photosynthesis in all plants. It will never cause a problem if too much is applied.

EARTHWORMS AND LANGFOS:

Recently earthworms were fed Langfos and other organic food. There was 20kg of Langfos fed to 8000 earthworms over a period of 8 weeks. The manure was analyzed and there was a significant increase in the phosphate content. So, when earthworms are present in soil and Langfos is administered, it will further enrich the soil and increase the P %.

TRACE ELEMENTS:

Almost all natural trace elements are found in Langfos. 

TOXIC SOIL:

When soils are contaminated with toxic aluminium, especially in KZN (coastal), North West and Eastern Cape (coastal areas), it restores the soil so that it releases more phosphorus for root development.
