Vital Earth

Pelletised active carbon

Vital Earth is a pelletised active carbon source.

Soil microbes and plants need energy from active carbon (organic matter) to thrive.

Vital Earth:

  • Improves soil by holding moisture & nutrients
  • Provides a range of plant nutrients
  • Promotes soil biological activity
  • Improves soil structure
  • Reduces lock up of phosphorus
  • Stimulates root growth & nutrient uptake
  • Reduces drought stress

Convenient, cost-effective way to add active carbon to your soil!

Contains humic & fulvic acid (active carbon), plus silicates.

Suitable for use in vegetables, fruit trees & vines, including tropical fruit, pasture and broad-acre crops.

Direction For Use

Vital Earth Pellets are used in a wide range of agricultural enterprises to improve nutrient and moisture retention to soil. It is particularly useful when blended with granular and pelletised fertiliser and incorporated into soil.

Used with a standard fertiliser program.

Suitable for broadcasting, banding and blending with fertiliser.
Applied through standard seeding and spreading equipment.

Application Rates

Vegetables: Apply 50-200kg/ha broadcast or in-furrow.

Fruit Trees & Vines: 50-200kg/ha applied early in growing season; including tropical fruit.

Broad-acre crops and pastures: 5-20kg/ha.

Blend with Fertiliser: 10-50kg/ha
