Product profile for Crown VitaSoil™, tailored for Agarwood (Aquilaria malaccensis), aromatic trees, and agroforestry systems under Crown Organic Biofertilizers Inc. (COBI).
Product Category: Organic Soil Conditioner / Biofertilizer Enhancer
Manufacturer: Crown Organic Biofertilizers Inc. (COBI)
Tagline: “Revitalize Your Soil, Empower Your Trees.”
1. Product Description
Crown VitaSoil™ is an organic soil conditioner and fertility enhancer designed to improve soil structure, nutrient retention, and microbial activity in both field and nursery conditions.
It is formulated to optimize the growth environment for Agarwood (Aquilaria malaccensis), sandalwood, cinnamon, nutmeg, and other high-value aromatic trees. By restoring soil health and microbial balance, Crown VitaSoil™ supports strong root systems, higher tree vigor, and improved resin induction potential.
2. Composition & Key Ingredients
| Component | Function |
|---|---|
| Humic Acids & Fulvic Acids | Improves soil cation exchange capacity, nutrient uptake, and root stimulation |
| Composted Organic Matter | Enhances soil structure, water retention, and organic carbon content |
| Beneficial Microbes | Bacillus subtilis, Trichoderma harzianum, Azotobacter — promote nutrient cycling and pathogen suppression |
| Micronutrients | Zn, Mn, Fe, Cu — improves enzymatic and physiological functions in plants |
| Biochar / Lignite | Enhances soil aeration, reduces nutrient leaching, and supports microbial colonization |
NPK Equivalent (Estimated): N 1–2%, P₂O₅ 0.5–1%, K₂O 0.5–1%
Organic Matter: 40–50%
pH: 6.5–7.5
3. Mechanism of Action
- Soil Structure Improvement – Increases aeration, reduces compaction, and enhances water infiltration.
- Nutrient Retention & Release – Humic and fulvic acids bind nutrients and gradually release them to roots.
- Microbial Activation – Encourages proliferation of beneficial soil bacteria and fungi.
- Stress Mitigation – Enhances drought tolerance and disease resistance in seedlings and mature trees.
- Carbon Sequestration – Converts organic residues into stable soil carbon, supporting sustainability goals.
4. Recommended Application
| Stage / Crop | Application Method | Rate / Frequency |
|---|---|---|
| Nursery / Seedling Stage | Mix with potting media or soil | 5–10 g per liter of soil |
| Transplanting / Field Establishment | Incorporate into planting hole or topsoil | 200–500 g per tree |
| Established Trees | Top-dress around root zone | 500–1,000 g per tree every 6–12 months |
| Compost Activation / Soil Rejuvenation | Blend with organic waste | 5–10 kg per ton of compost or soil |
Compatibility: Can be applied alongside Crown BioGrow™, Crown MycoBoost™, or BarIno FusaTrinity™ for integrated soil fertility and growth support.
