As more farmers look to sustainable and environmentally friendly solutions, organic fertilisers have steadily gained popularity in the agricultural world.
Unlike synthetic fertilisers, which can deplete soil health over time, organic fertilisers feed the soil and stimulate microbial life, leading to long-term soil fertility, improved crop quality and healthier harvests.
Farm Chemicals, a leading supplier of agricultural inputs in Eswatini, is championing this shift towards natural alternatives. The company stocks a wide range of organic fertilisers suited for both small-scale growers and large commercial farmers. These products not only improve soil structure and fertility, but also ensure that crops thrive naturally, free of harmful residues.
Granular organic fertilisers
Granular fertilisers are ideal for those looking for slow-release nutrition that works over time. Among the top options in-store are:
1. BIO Ocean (Atlantic Fertilisers): This blend combines seaweed, fishmeal, poultry manure and rock phosphate to deliver a well-balanced mix of nutrients. BIO Ocean is rich in nitrogen and potassium, essential for strong plant growth and root development. Available in 10kg and 40kg bags, it’s suitable for lawns, vegetables and fruit trees.
2. BIO Rock (Atlantic Fertilisers): Specially formulated for improving soil fertility, BIO Rock contains rock minerals and organic matter, boosting phosphorus levels, which help flowering and fruiting. Like BIO Ocean, it comes in 10kg and 40kg bags, making it versatile for both backyard gardens and farm fields.
3. N12 organic fertiliser: This is a general-purpose organic fertiliser designed for broad application across different crop types.
