2 Ways to Improve Stubble Breakdown and Nitrogen Availability

Unlock the full potential of your fields with our research-driven solutions to enhance soil fertility and encourage stubble breakdown. Our technologies ensure your crops receive the nutrients required, while reducing reliance on standard fertilisers. 

Improve Stubble Breakdown 

Did you know that managing harvest residues like stubble and organic matter is crucial for maintaining soil health? Our studies show that incorporating 5 tonnes of wheat straw into the soil/ha can immobilise up to 90 kg of Soil Mineral Nitrogen – this nitrogen immobilisation will negatively affect up to 20% of your yield. 

Trials Data on Breakdown of Stubble and Reduction of Nitrogen Deficiency using Humistart+ from TIMAC AGRO.

To mitigate this, we have created Humistart+, a granular soil conditioner formulated around sustainably sourced marine calcium and trace elements. Humistart+  feeds soil microbes to accelerate organic matter mineralisation while buffering soil pH, reducing nitrogen deficit and enhancing nutrient availability. 

Apply Humistart+ at 500 kg/ha during seed bed preparation or top dressing established crops (prior to organic manure application) for optimal results. 

Humistart+ improves stubble breakdown and reduces the need for standard fertilisers.

Fertile Soil & Optimal Growth 

Root development plays a vital role in optimising soil structure. By promoting robust root growth, you enhance the plant’s ability to absorb and retain nutrients, eliminating nutrient deficiency risks. Our proven soil conditioner, Physiolith, activates absorption of nutrients, root growth and increases the biological activity in your soil. 

Physiolith - TIMAC AGRO

This granular soil conditioner (containing patented PhysioPro technology), provides highly available marine calcium and trace elements to optimise crop establishment by maximising rooting, early growth and nutrient uptake. 

Physiolith is certified for use on organic farms (Soil Association and Organic Farmers and Growers – OF&G) and contains PhysioPro, a proven plant growth hormone complex comprising:
