BioGrow™ PRIME — Granular Organic-Mineral Formula
| Ingredient | Target % w/w | Function |
|---|---|---|
| Mature compost / vermicompost | 25% | Organic nutrient base & soil carbon |
| Humic substances | 8% | Nutrient retention and root-zone conditioning |
| Fulvic substances | 3% | Nutrient complexing/availability |
| Plant-based organic meal | 15% | Slow-release organic N |
| Rock phosphate | 8% | Phosphorus + calcium |
| Sulfate of potash (SOP) | 7% | Potassium + sulfur |
| Gypsum | 8% | Calcium + sulfur |
| Dolomite | 7% | Calcium + magnesium + pH buffering |
| Biochar | 8% | Carbon matrix and nutrient retention |
| Kelp/seaweed meal | 3% | Botanical biostimulant component |
| Micronutrient premix | 2% | Zn, B, Fe, Mn, Cu, Mo |
| Beneficial microbial carrier | 5% | Rhizosphere biological support |
| Total | 99% | |
| Processing/binder/moisture adjustment | 1% | Pellet integrity |
Target nutrient profile
Rather than making PRIME an extremely high-N fertilizer, I would position it as a moderate, balanced mature-tree formulation:
- Total N: approximately 2–4%
- Available P₂O₅: approximately 2–4%
- Soluble K₂O: approximately 3–5%
- Ca: approximately 5–10%
- Mg: approximately 2–4%
- S: approximately 2–5%
- Organic matter: ≥25–35%
- Humic + fulvic substances: ≥5–10%
BioGrow™ PRIME — Functional Technology
NUTRIENTS → ROOT ZONE → MICROBIAL ACTIVITY → TREE VIGOR → INDUCTION READINESS
The key design principle is conditioning rather than forcing growth. PRIME should maintain mature-tree nutritional balance and soil biological function while avoiding excessive nitrogen that could produce unnecessarily vigorous vegetative growth.
Important formulation adjustment
For a commercial product, I would not put live microorganisms directly into the same formulation as high-salt mineral fertilizers unless stability testing demonstrates acceptable viability. A stronger commercial architecture would therefore be:
PRIME BASE™
Organic-mineral granular fertilizer
PRIME BIO™
Separate microbial concentrate/powder
PRIME MINERAL™
Corrective Ca–Mg–micronutrient formulation
This three-component system would give your BioGrow™ Plantation Nutrition Platform substantially more technical flexibility.
