Research.

In Australia, research has been conducted using scientific research and or grower trials with the following results:

Broad-Acre Farmers: Research and ongoing use has shown Eco-Min has helped broad-acre farmers to improve soil structure, resolve issues relating to dryland salinity and soil acidification, increase water retention, provide crops with better germination, and to balance high/low elements in the soil. We have also assisted in establishing quality end even growth patterns in crops.

Dairy Farmers: Research and ongoing use of Eco-Min has shown improved grazing including quality of feed, milk, animal health, and resource management. Eco-min has been proven to improve the health of the herd, produce a healthier pasture, improve milk quality and quantity, and reduce disease in the herds.

Grazing Farmers: Research and ongoing use has shown that Eco-Min creates better quality feed; improving parasite control, increasing production and being able to turn stock over more quickly.

Vegetable Farmers: Research and ongoing use has show that Eco-Min creates better water quality, which is paramount and essential for vegetable growing. Eco-Min also helps to achieve better nutrition and quality of the vegetables, with fewer pests and diseases whilst achieving improved production. Eco-Min increases food density and taste quality.

Parks and Gardens: Eco-Min has shown to improve and thicken grasses/turf and improve the health of the soil and plants. Eco-Min has enabled fruit trees and flowers to reduce pests and diseases and become more tolerant to climatic changing conditions like frosts.

Golf Ranges and Sporting Greens: Eco-Min assists the turf to improve quality following extreme weather conditions. Eco-Min makes the sporting surface safer and playable due to thickness of grasses becoming more soft and porous. Eco-Min also reduces muddy conditions by creating larger root systems underneath, creating more consistency of the turf and aiding in better drainage.

General Results: In addition to the above research it has also been proven that Eco-Min is non-leaching, assists the sequestration of carbon in the soil, mobilises phosphorous, increases cation exchange, increases water holding capacity, and increases mycorrhizal colonisation on roots

  • Increased soil mineralisation

  • Repel insects, pests and disease

  • Plants become more resistant to climatic cycles of heat, frost and drought conditions

  • Increased natural soil carbon

  • Soil moisture conserved up to 30%

  • Yield increase up to 10 – 15% within first 12 months

 

Scientific Testing on Eco-Min.

Australian National University:

We have currently partnered with the Australian National University to conduct testing on our Rockmineral Eco-Min product with Wolfram Buss and Justin Borevitz Professor, Research School of Biology.

The results from our testing:

1. Boost plant carbon capture and soil storage

2. Stabilisation of soil organic matter with rock dust

Results:

  • Key result was that the rock dust application stabilised soil carbon in sandy soils and hence reduced CO2 emissions.

  • Higher soil organic carbon content in soils with basalt addition

What do these Results mean for you?

Soil organic carbon (SOC) levels are directly related to the amount of organic matter contained in soil and SOC is often how organic matter is measured in soils. The higher soil organic matter levels found in the organic systems cause the soil to retain more water that results in better crop yields during droughts.

Higher soil organic matter levels cause greater soil nitrogen retention, greater microbial biodiversity, and promote the presence and growth of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi that penetrate the roots of crops and facilitate the movement of plant nutrients from the soil into the crop plants resulting in better crop growth.

 

Consider a trial at your place?

We're absolutely crazy about data and science, and we're on a mission to dazzle you with mind-blowing results! We're constantly on the prowl for fellow enthusiasts who share our passion and are itching to join forces with us as we dive deeper into the incredible world of Rock Minerals and Mineral Liquid Fertilisers.

Our grand adventure aims to save the planet from excess carbon, supercharge fertility, and teach farmers, growers, gardeners and indoor plant lovers the secret sauce for growing organic goodness with ease. So come join the fun and let's make the world a greener, healthier, and more exciting place! Reach out on how we can partner with you to do in-house trials on your site.

We had a client put Munash Eco-Min on one half of his crop and leave the other side untreated. The Eco-Min treated crop (pictured here on the left) was greener, thicker, the soil was more pliable and retained water.

"The paddock on the left had 3 in 1 put on 3 weeks before your guys spread my place. The difference is chalk and cheese. You've really got to see it to believe the difference."
