A. Yes, initially farmers can start to reduce their synthetic fertilizers by 25% and in the future reduce up to 50%. They can then observe the performance and make an evaluation from there. We have already performed tests with 50% synthetic fertilizer with rice with successful results and improvement in yields. Consider the Aloe Bio-Fertilizer as a positive Soil Insurance for the future for your land. So even a 10% introduction of the Aloe Vera Bio-Fertilizer as a input will assist greatly towards a sustainable future for future generations.

A. It is achievable that after a couple of years (for domestic farming) and approximately 5 years (for commercial agriculture) that the soil could possibly be free from synthetic fertilizer residue. Sunland Aloe Vera Bio-Fertilizer will help to achieve this result. However, for commercial farming we also recommend the introduction of a Safe Mineral Fertilizer in addition to compliment the transition period so you will still receive the maximum yields that you would normally expect from using synthetic fertilizers.

A. It will all depend on what is causing the toxicity (pollution) in the soil, the type of toxins and the level of concentration. If the toxins come from a high concentration of heavy metals.. eg. From chemical pesticides or industrial waste, then it will need a longer period to recover the land however it will be a progressive and positive healing of the soil with the regular application of the Aloe Vera Bio-Fertilizer. As well, a combination application with mature compost or manure will speed up the recovery / regeneration. This will add additional carbon and humic acid into the soil. The use of compost or solid organic material can also assist greatly to reduce the use of synthetic fertilizer. We also recommend

A. There will not be any negative effect when Sunland is applied to mature compost because the microbial in Sunland are a common kind of microbial that we can find in the soil naturally. Sunland’s microbial mix will be compatible to the compost, and also enrich the compost further for greater benefits.

A. Sunland microbes will still live and grow in the soil even though the land has been treated by synthetic fertilizer. However DO NOT add Sunland and the synthetic fertilizer with water in the same tank and spray together. The microbes could be damaged and could even die in this instance. You must make the applications separate or mix with a synthetic fertilizer that has a very low concentration level. DO NOT mix with any types of chemical pesticides. (for obvious reasons)

A. In suitable soil conditions the microbes can grow and multiply at an optimum pace especially if there is enough humidity, moisture conditions, neutral pH, moderate soil temperature, and no toxic agents in the soil. It is possible to activate the microorganism species further by adding a little molasses into the tank where you mix the Sunland solution (Sunland + water), and wait approximately 4-6 hours before application.

A. Yes, Bio-Fertilizer Starter means the mix of functional or beneficial microorganism. It is poured into 5000 lt tank and is mixed with the composted organic Aloe Vera juice, fresh seaweed and natural materials.

A. We have many testimonials from farmers that claim to have good results with this and we do have these products available in stock (Concentrated Aloe Vera Raw Material Extract with Aloin, and also our Sunland Bio-Fertilizer) So if any growers would like to experiment by mixing them together to trial as above, then we have an abundance of material available. We have found other claims on the internet that states… “The Aloe Vera plant is recognized as having a very strong immune system. Now growers can utilize these properties for the benefit of their crops to fight against insect attacks. Aloe has the ability to deter insects from plants without the use of toxic sprays. Especially when the Aloe Vera Extract has been carefully processed to retain all of the active properties of the whole plant.”. The active ingredient in aloe vera such as aloin has been used as an anti-bacterial and it has been said that its use can also suppress the growth of pathogenic bacteria. The mixture of our Aloe Raw Material with our Aloe Microbial Fertilizer will offer growers an increased performance on a number of levels as a foliar spray. (eg. As a plant growth promoter and also a pest deterrent) When the plant is healthy with ” living soil” nourishing its root system and also “natural” pest management (instead of chemical pesticides) then the plants resistance & immune level is high. Most pests are more attracted to low resistance and weaker plants as they are easier targets. Additionally if a healthy plant is subjected to stress from poor weather conditions or pests, then its recovery level is much faster and it can bounce back quickly as its immune system is strong. This is the same as a human being. eg. A person taking chemical prescriptions has a low immune system and will pick up a cold or flu from just a small cough. However a person with a strong immune system (drinks quality Aloe Juice daily) will never, or very rarely get sick. More info regarding Aloe and the plants immune system below…

Hi Saul,

I have been researching the amazing Aloe Vera plant this weekend and I have discovered an amazing array of phytochemicals that are incredibly important to plant health and immune function. As a biological agronomist, I have spoken about these materials as individual products to farmers but never realized that Aloe Vera provide them in one plant. One of the ingredients, salicylic acid (SA) is very important to systemic activated resistance, drought tolerance and salinity. The implication for intensified agriculture and stressed plants is enormous – and this is just one compound. We must talk when you get back. I am very excited about working with this product.

Regards Steve

A. Of course the microorganisms will not grow effectively in certain conditions. However the soil microbes usually do adapt to the natural conditions and their environment, so they will survive under those conditions that you mention. An exception would be an extreme condition like in the hot desert

A. Yes the freedom and possibilities to enhance the capabilities and benefits of Sunland, by combining it with, (and experimenting with) other ingredients are encouraged. There would be a wide variety of applications in which Sunland (plus additional natural ingredients from other products) can be adapted to different farming needs and local conditions.
