INTRODUCTION

Use of excessive chemical fertilizers and pesticides over the last 5 decades have significantly reduced the soil fertility. Salts in chemical fertilizers makes soil hard and compact. Pesticides not only kills pathogenic microbes and insects but also kills vital beneficial micro-flora and insects in the soil. As a result soil cycle is disturbed. If it is not rectified in time, soil which was fertile once would gradually become  infertile. It’s a great threat to all farming based on chemical fertilizers and pesticides.

DESCRIPTION

Unigold is a naturally occurring Organic Soil Conditioner that acts as an Organic Chelating agent and Microbial stimulator. It's unique molecular structure increases nutrient assimilation and enhances SOIL PRODUCTIVITY. Soil with low Cation Exchange Capacity (CEC) can not hold electrically charged vital nutrients and as a result they are leached out during irrigation. Unigold plays important role by enhancing utilization of micro and macro nutrients.

We have different grades of  Unigold as under :

* Bioavailability of Leonardite is 5 times more than similar products obtained from different mines.

# Unigold is specially designed for Slow Release-Prolonged Action and for enhancing Soil Fertility. Unlike other water soluble products it is insoluble and hence don't leach out from soil to remain effective for 6-12 months.

BENEFITS :

• Increases soil fertility by

   

•  Increasing soil micro-flora population

   

•  Accelerating Organic Matter DECOMPOSITION

   

•  Increasing HUMUS / CARBON content in the soil

   

• Stimulates growth and proliferation of desirable soil microbes, algae and yeast.

   

• Assist in transferring vital micronutrients from soil to plant. Increase nutrient holding / binding capacity of the soil therefore reduces fertilizer dosages by 30-50 %.

   

• Increases Cation Exchange Capacity ( CEC) of the soil.

   

• Extra strength Soil conditioner because it break up clay and compacted soil.

   

• Improves soil porosity , enhances aeration and water retention capacity of the soil.

   

• Increases root respiration and formation.

   

• Increases root mass , fruit yield and bio-mass in the plant.

   

• Restores and ensures continuity of Bio-cycles.

   

• Increases brix level.

   

• Increases buffering properties of the soil. Helps in neutralizing both acidic and alkaline soil.

   

• Retain water soluble nutrients in the root zone and releases them to plant when needed.

   

• Reduces soil erosion.

   

• Act as Bio-catalyzer and Bio-stimulator. Enhances physiological processes such as Respiration, Cell division, Photosynthesis, Cell elongation and Energy transfer.

   

• Converts Iron into available forms and hence prevents Chlorosis

   

• Mobilize the phosphate anion hence increases availability to the plant.

   

SOIL BIOCYCLE :  UNIGOLD plays important role in restoring the natural soil cycle. UNIGOLD serves as a energy source and hence stimulates bacterial growth, increases their population in the soil. Soil flora in turn enhances decomposition of organic matter, increases carbon content in the soil.

 CROPS :  

The application dosages of UNIGOLD varies  depending upon

a. The soil condition

b. Type of soil

c. Crop duration

Higher dosages are recommended for high value crops such as Medicinal Aromatic Plants, horticulture , floriculture and perennial crops.

Crops on which UNIGOLD has been used successfully includes tomato, potato, pepper, cucumbers, melon, squash , cabbage, cauliflower, ornamentals, small grain, tobacco, sweet potatoes, turf, strawberries, citrus, MAPs, jatropha and floriculture.

Recommendations

·         UNIGOLD should be applied on the soil 10 days before planting and can be worked into top 1 to 2 inches of soil.

·         Do NOT plow down.

·         It can also be applied to the soil after planting and cultivation. Allow to lay on top of the soil for the rain to carry it in.

·         Unigold should be mixed with chemical fertilizer or compost before adding to soil.

·         Soil humidity should be around 30-40 % when Unigold is added to soil.

 TOXICOLOGY UNIGOLD is non toxic and has no detrimental effects to soil microbes.

PRECAUTION

Do not inhale / consume. If inhaled shift from exposed area to fresh clean air. If eyes and skin are affected, flush with clean water for 15 minutes and seek medical attention.

 STORAGE         No specific conditions required.
