Technology:

ekolive’s InnoBioTech® ecological bioleaching technology replicates the natural microbial process of soil formation from minerals. Our products (“pre-digested dissolved living minerals”) are created from dissolved natural minerals (silicates, carbonates, oxides, hydroxides) in the same way that healthy plants feed from minerals in symbiosis with microorganisms. Microbiologically dissolved natural minerals are all readily available micro and macro elements in liquid form, plus approximately one billion beneficial probiotics, nutrient solubilizing and carbon and nitrogen fixing, plant growth and immunity supporting microorganisms per liter. But the main ones are the most valuable enzymatic components: their metabolic products in high concentrations, a wide range of bioactive phytohormones, peptides, vitamins, proteins, bacteriocins, alcohols, amino acids and organic acids – a balanced mix that would be formed in the roots of plants during symbiosis. These directly affect all areas of soil and plant health. The phytohormones they contain are biochemically active organic compounds that are inherent to plants and act as messengers in controlling plant growth, stress, resistance and development – ​​thereby increasing yields, root system growth, chlorophyll content, increased disease resistance and resistance to abiotic stress, increased quality of final agricultural products. This highly effective composition is not created (unlike most biostimulants on the market) by mixing chemical components, but by a natural process that takes place in microbial symbiosis in plant roots and activates them. 

Products:

ekofertile®plant is an organic liquid bio|me|stimulant. Contains dissolved silicate minerals (easily absorbable micro and macronutrients supporting strength and resilience such as liquid Si, Ca, Fe, Mn, etc.), billions of beneficial growth and probiotic bacteria such as Lactobacillus for healthy microflora and most valuable in high concentration their growth and immunity supporting metabolites – a wide spectrum of bioactive phytohormones:

• Auxins: IAA IAA-Asp IAA-Glu OxIAA IAM I3A IPrA ILacA
• Jasmonates: JA JA-IleABAs: ABA PA DPA NeoPA
• Phenolic substances: SA BzA PAA SinAc

Proteins, bacteriocins, peptides, vitamins, alcohols, essential and non-essential amino acids and organic acids such as carboxylic acid (lactic, acetic, phenyllactic), Fatty acids (butyric, isobutyric) with a pH value of 3.8–4.8. Supports immunity against fungal, bacterial and viral diseases, revitalization of soil and plants, increase in sugar and nutrient content, enlargement of roots, resistance to heat and drought.

• Cucumber – 7.5 l/ha microfertile® resulted in higher fruit number, higher fruit weight and fruit yield, as well as longer fruit shelf life. Yields using 7.5 l/ha microfertile® were 291.7% higher than control plants treated with liquefied SOA (111.1 kg/ha) – controlled trial for product registration in Ghana at Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology (KNUST), Ghana.
• Okra – ekofertile® 3.2 l/ha resulted in better vegetative and reproductive growth than other foliar fertilizer doses and the control. This dose resulted in more flowers, more fruit number and higher fruit weight/yield. Yields using 3.2 l/ha ekofertile® were 307.56% higher than control plants (SOA 111.1 kg/ha) – controlled trial for product registration in Ghana at Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology (KNUST), Ghana.
