EDAPHOS® is responsible for a better humus creating process in the soil. Moreover it accounts for a faster filtration of CO2 out of the atmosphere and binds, due to the fact of stimulated assimilation, more CO2 in the soil and gives it for the plants which need it for growth. According to Mr. August Raggam with 6 % humus recreation in a depth of 25 centimetres at the World’s agricultural active surface, we could filter about 500 billion tons of CO2 out of the atmosphere and so reduce the CO2 concentration to approx. 180 ppm. Nowadays we have a concentration of about 400 ppm!
Using EDAPHOS® results in a crumbly soil structure. Therefore aeration and dosed drainage of the soil is enhanced and increases the water storage capacity. According to some projects, e.g. golf courts, a reduction of water consumption up to 50% was the result. Imagine the cost reduction in this example just on water. And that’s not all. Meadows and acres can survive temporal droughts easier without great damage to the harvest.
NH4 in the atmosphere is among other parts responsible for the reduction of the protecting ozonosphere. A lot of ammonium nitrogen is released to the atmosphere through the output of slurry on meadows and acres. Adding EDAPHOS® to the slurry helps to convert ammonium nitrogen to nitrate (NO3) and furthermore to nitrite (NO2). With this a good nutrient solution or better said feed for humic acid bacteria is created. Processing slurry with EDAPHOS® helps on the one hand to build up humus in the soil on a natural base and protects on the other hand the essential ozonosphere.
EDAPHOS® reduces natural erosion thru optimization of the soil structure and it continually improves the humus part at the examined location. At present the humus part in the soil is about 1%-2%. In former times, around the year 1920, this was about 35% – 45%! To treat soil with EDAPHOS® over a longer period of time makes it work preventive against environmental disasters like loss of soil fertility thru droughts, floods, wild fires, desertification etc.
