Cost-effective Alternatives

Soepenberg deals in organic and mineral byproducts of different origins.

These byproducts contain valuable components which can be used to produce fertilizers or are employed directly as straight (single-constituent) fertilizer. So far this has mainly applied to the major nutrients such as nitrogen, Nitrogen
Nitrogen has considerable impact on the qualitative and quantitative yield of a plant: nitrogen is the most important component for protein, chlorophyll, amino acids and other organic compounds. Nitrogen stimulates cell division and cell growth. Plants grow faster after fertilization with nitrogen.
phosphate, Phosphate
The nutrient phosphate plays a major role in plant growth: phosphate is the component of protein and other organic compounds and matters. Phosphate plays a decisive role in the energy transfer of plants’ assimilation and respiration. Phosphate is necessary during water absorption and nutrient intake.
potassium Potassium
Potassium is considered as stabilizing element for plants. It acts as a nutrient on different levels: potassium activates enzymes which control the generation of sugar and starch (carbohydrates) so it plays a decisive role in the production of carbohydrates. Potassium is responsible for the transport of carbohydrates to other plant parts. A lack of potassium can lead to accumulations of sugar in the leaf which is generated by assimilation. Potassium controls the plant’s water metabolism. Due to the correct potassium concentration the osmotic values increase. This enables the plant to absorb water better and to evaporate it more slowly. Because of the increased osmotic values the plant becomes more resistant to frost.
and calcium,Calcium
Calcium is an essential nutritional element for plants. Therefore Soepenberg offers several lime fertilizers. The nutrient’s advantages: Calcium strengthens cell walls; plants become more vital and hardier. Calcium neutralizes organic acids that exist in plants. Calcium stabilizes the soil. The nutrient helps to prevent structural damages and increases the intake of other nutritional elements. The background: The ideal acid value of the soil differs depending on the plant. There is a direct connection between the ideal pH-value and the maximum possible yield. The need for lime fertilizer can be determined by performing soil analyses.
micronutrients and trace elements such as sulphur, magnesium, manganese and boron are increasingly used. In collaboration with farmers technical and logistical solutions are developed for application.
