Roots, the most important part of the plant, are rarely seen, and as a result are often overlooked until a lack of rooting starts to affect the above ground portions of the plant. When this happens, it’s often too late to restore the plant’s health.
The organic fertilizers offered by Nature Safe are comprised of various high-quality plant and animal meals that provide a solid balance of soil-nourishing protein, starches, sugars, fats and carbohydrates. These important nutrients contain the essential vitamins, enzymes, chelated secondary elements and amino acids necessary to boost the natural microbial content of the soil, which in turn will produce more robust root growth and improve the quality of the plant.
Staying true to your roots
Nature Safe products are known for producing healthy plants – which is a direct result of increasing root development through a multi-faceted process.
The process begins with the chelated nutrients, which offer more to the plant than the standard chemical nutrients. The calcium found in Nature Safe comes from meat and bone meal and is released in a chelated form. The chelated form keeps the calcium from being chemically tied up in the soil and makes it readily available to the plant. This chelated source of calcium promotes the elongation and branching of the roots, and creates a deeper, more fibrous root system. The root system is then able to make use of the available nutrients and water.
In addition, Nature Safe feeds the soil microbes that are in competition with the pathogens in the soil offering higher levels of amino acids (found in all of our products) compared to other organic feed. Amino acids serve as food for the microbes.
By creating a highly concentrated food source for microorganisms, we’re able to greatly increase the number of beneficial organisms in the rhizosphere, which serves to better protect the roots by wrapping them in a protective layer of beneficial microbes. As a result, the roots are healthier and they grow deeper and produce more root hairs.
Trust the expertise of Nature Safe
As we continue to learn more about the processes occurring in the soil, we can better understand the true secret to Nature Safe’s performance. As a pioneer in the business of sustainable fertilizers and long before sustainability and eco-friendliness became popular buzzwords, Darling Ingredients (Nature Safe’s parent company) has ensured environmental responsibility is a core element of their business – and will continue to be moving forward.
