How ASAP Works
How ASAP Works - 2 Ways!
1. Assure Food Quality - for all Farmers;
There are three macro nutrients that are essential for commercial food production quantity; nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium. But plants require 14 additional essential micro nutrients (*) for healthy growth that assure food quality. The absence of any one of these nutrients in the soil can limit plant growth and can reduce the nutrient value in food and organic feeds. When crops are planted year after year the micro minerals from the soil are depleted.
ASAP Plant Minerals™ contains the correct ratio and amounts of these 14 essential macro and micro minerals.
Macro Nutrients - mg/L: Magnesium, Calcium, Sodium, Potassium
Micro Nutrients - mcg/L: Boron, Iron, Cobalt, Zinc, Molybdenum, Copper, Selenium, Chromium, Manganese, Chlorine
It is designed to augment the effectiveness of NPK fertilizers to create nutrient laden food.
2. To Encourage Bio-Diverse Soil - for the Organic Farmer;
Micro-organisms also depend on essential micro minerals in the soil to manufacture fulvates - critical electrolytic compounds that move micro minerals to the roots. Helping the micro-organisms is critical to nutrient recycling in ecosystems as they act as decomposers. Some micro organisms can also fix nitrogen, an important part of natures’ nitrogen cycle. Nature has synergistic relationships with minerals in the manufacture of phytochemicals (nutrients).
Manganese, Magnesium, Iron form Chlorophyll
Chlorine is required in Photosynthesis
Copper is needed to form Vitamin A
Boron regulates Carbohydrates
Molybdenum is used to fix Nitrogen
Cobalt is the center atom of Vitamin B12
As you can see, the foundation of this plant chemistry is the macro and micro nutrients found in ASAP Plant Minerals™.
