FARM A DEEPER PROFILE OF ACTIVE TOPSOIL


Browntop produces a thick layer of roots that chokes the top soil. If left unchecked this thatch can suppress more productive grasses such as rye and clover.

 

BioStart Thatch Busta is powered by signal molecule technology. Thatch Busta contains a combination of fermentation extracts, enzymes and signal molecules to activate indigenous populations of beneficial soil microbes that convert thatch into humus. This process removes thatch which in turn improves moisture penetration, air circulation, nutrient retention and availability.

 

Thatch Busta is recommended for the removal of thatch in dairy and hill country paddocks.

 

  • Removes thatch
  • Activates composting soil microbes
  • Stimulates clover growth
  • Improves soil structure
  • Increases calcium and phosphate uptake
