EXTRACTION & MANUFACTURE OF BIO-TRACE

Bio-Trace is a sprayable trace mineral formulation that can also be customized should the need arise. When Biotrace with the addition of seaweed concentrate is required, this product incorporates very high levels of seaweed in the soluble powder concentrate form (this is the same material used in the manufacture of most liquid seaweed based fertilizers.) The extraction process utilizes pure seaweed in the form of Ascophyllum Nodusum, a cultivar harvested from the nutrient rich waters of the North Atlantic. Only the fully soluble portion of the seaweed plant is extracted, this portion contains the minerals and active ingredients. In this way many kilograms of raw seaweed is concentrated into just one kilogram of the soluble seaweed concentrate powder. The manufacturing process utilizes a special low temperature vacuum process, so as not to damage any of the valuable plant growth hormones or affect the bonding on the naturally chelated trace elements.


HISTORY OF SEAWEED

Long before commercial fertilizers were even thought of, farmers as early as 4000 BC, who owned land with access to the coast, were applying seaweed to the land to grow crops. As early as the 17th century farmers in Scotland recorded the fact that with an adequate application of seaweed, two crops of oats could be taken off the same land in successive years without crop rotation. For over a century Irish share croppers dug trenches in which seaweed was laid along with the potato seed to ensure excellent yields, in fact no other form of fertilizer was used.



SEAWEED’S POTENTIAL

Currently, plant scientists have begun to realise the full potential of seaweed as a fertilizer and have described its potential as follows: “ a power pack of plant growth hormones and nutrients,” and “probably the most densely packed soil addendum known to man” among other statements. Seaweed contains over 60 macro and trace minerals, 12 vitamins, 21 amino acids and enzymes. It is also heavily loaded with alginates and a number of natural plant growth hormones in the form of giberrellins, auxins and cytokonins. Alginates are complex carbohydrate based compounds known to be powerful natural mineral chelators that when incorporated into fertilizers do a number of things in the soil. They improve soil structure, increase the water holding ability of the soil, as well as optimizing mineral availability to plants through natural chelation (the process of bonding a mineral to a another compound allowing absorption directly to plant cell).



NUTRIENT ABSORPTION

Land dwelling plants draw most of their nutrient from the soil through the root membrane, with only a small amount of nutrient being absorbed directly through the leaf. Seaweed, however, is quite different; the roots are primarily only there to anchor the plant to the seabed, whilst the nutrients are then absorbed from the seawater in elemental form. These nutrients are absorbed directly into the plant tissue where they are chelated and stored in an organic bio-available form, a form readily taken up by all classes of land dwelling plants.


ADVANTAGES OF BIOTRACE

Advantages attained through the application of any fertilizer in liquid form come down to the ability to deliver nutrients in the most cost effective way. Bio-Trace is a breakthrough in fertilizer technology, without the water content of a liquid fertilizer. Bio-Trace delivers higher levels of trace elements at substantially lower costs to the farmer. Further customization of the Bio-Trace brands allows the farmer to apply additional elements above the levels already in the fertilizer blends. These can be readily supplied separately in soluble form at relatively low cost.



EASE OF APPLICATION

Bio-Trace products are instantly soluble when added to water and can be sprayed through even the finest boom spray nozzles, and can be sprayed at the same time as herbicide or pesticides (check with the manufacturer for compatibility information).
