Product Introduction
Getafix Earth Terra products have been manufacturing biostimulant products since 2002. All our products are developed in SA and are manufactured locally. The Getafix Earth Terra product range is a combination of amino acids, fulvins, humates, protein hydrolysates, minerals, and microbial inoculants. There are products for soil and for spraying on leaves.
What is a Biostimulant?
- Consists of natural or synthetic products
- Applied to plants and soil
- Consists of humic extracts. Biopolymers. Amino acids. Fulvins. Seaweed and plant extracts.
- Minerals in combination with organic extracts. Microbial inoculants. Protein hydrolysates
What is the effect of a Biostimulant?
- Effective utilization of nutrients.
- Better resistance to abiotic stress.
- Better quality end product.
- Availability of fixed nutrients in soil.
- Excellent antioxidant.
- Protects cell wall membranes, which then offer resistance to cold damage.
- Protects chlorophyll membranes.
What Causes Abiotic Stress?
- External environmental or chemical conditions that harm plant growth.
- Cold
- Heat and drought
- Too much water = too little oxygen
- Herbicides
What Happens in Plants with Abiotic Stress?
- Various physiological processes collapse in the plant.
- Main cause: membrane instability
- Transpiration decreases
- Leaf temperatures increase
- Photosynthesis decreases
- Sugars and cell sap decrease
- Energy levels in the plant decrease
- Chlorophyll decreases
- Fatty acids become liquefied
- Loss of ions from cells
♦ Various biochemical processes stop
GETAFIX EARTH TERRA Products for Stress Circumstances
- GETAFIX EARTH TERRA products are excellent bio stimulants consisting of organic acids, microorganisms and protein hydrolysates.
- Low pH in soil: Terra pH
- High sodium and chemical imbalances in the soil: Terra Restore
- Soils infected with pathogens such as Phytophthora: Terra Tonic
- Prevention and repair of herbicide damage: Terra Power Plus which is sprayed together with herbicides. It protects cell walls, the weed grows faster, absorbs the herbicide better
and the sugars have a positive effect on the cell membranes. Terra Power Plus also increases antioxidant levels in plants. - Heat and drought stress: Terra Power Plus
- Cold damage prevention and repair: Terra Protect which has Silica in it together with Terra
Power Plus. This protects the membranes. - Photosynthesis levels that decrease: Terra Power Plus, which contains Pseudomonas floresance.
- General strengthening of cell walls: Terra Power Plus.
- Sugar levels that decrease in cell membranes: Terra Power Plus, which contains amino gluconates.
- Better absorption of nutrients: Terra Power Plus, which can also be sprayed in combination with foliar feeding.
- Better root development: Terra Tonic in the soil and Terra Power Plus on the leaves.
