Q: Organic OR Chemical Fertilizer?

A: We say Listen to NATURE!

In order for a plant to be properly fed, whether with chemical or natural fertilizer, the
microbial life in the soil must first process the fertilizer into a substance and release
it in the correct amounts that are perfect for a plant to absorb. In order for the
microbes to perform this service, they must have energy. They are not in the presence
of sunlight, nor do they have chlorophyll like higher plants, so the microbes must get
their energy from decaying plant or animal matter in the soil.

A bag of organic fertiliser has all the carbon/energy to meet the needs of the soil
microbes. A bag of chemical fertiliser has no energy. If organic matter is not already
present in the soil, the chemicals can quickly become stressful, even toxic, to the
plants. This causes plants to be susceptible to disease and insect problems.

Organic fertilizers are believed to be slower acting than the chemical fertilizers. This
is true to a degree. Being a lower NPK analysis and slower acting, organic fertilizers
can be used in higher volume around plants without danger of burning. However,
there are some organic fertilizers that are fast acting that can show results as quickly
as the chemical fertilizers do. They are still slower to burn the plants than the
chemicals and last much longer in the soil.

Unless chemical fertilizers are impregnated or coated with a microbe inhibitor and
some substance to keep them from quickly dissolving, they must be used very
cautiously. Especially in sandy soils, they can burn the roots of the plants and quickly
leach beyond the reach of the roots. They generally end up polluting a water supply
because they are too quickly dissolved and moved out of the soil. In heavy clay soils
or any soil with a high organic and humus content, this is less of a problem.

Chemical fertilizers that are blended to perfectly fit a given soil and then used in the
correct season and correct amounts can do nothing more than grow a plant. They do
not build or sustain a healthy soil. Organic fertilizers contain the energy and the
many other things that continually build soil fertility, crumb structure,
increased water holding capacity, food for all the beneficial soil life, condition
the soil and contribute to the hundreds of other yet-unknown things that cause
a plant to grow healthy and perfect.

Only healthy and perfectly grown plants can feed and support healthy and quality
human life.
Why Go Organic?
Organic fertilizers record an increase in the biological activities in the soil. Micro-organisms
within the soil help plants convert nutrients into food and help to break down old plant
material which adds to the overall health of the soil and garden. Chemical fertilizers in general
do not offer this benefit.

 Organic food reduces health risks by keeping harmful chemicals and pesticides
out of the food.
 Organic food tastes better and contains high nutritional value.
 Organic farming creates congruent balance between crop production and animal
husbandry.
 Organic farming preserves the long term fertility of soil through the sustainable
production system.
 Organic farming reduces use of pesticides, hence minimising agriculture’s impact
on the eco-system.

With Pro Harvest, anyone can have green fingers!

Established since 2008, PRO HARVEST believes in chemical free farming system by developing
an excellent grade organic fertiliser made of chicken manure (tested and approved by UPM) and
other major key components to enhance plant growth, suitable for most crop cultivation.

Organic fertilizers by PRO HARVEST carry plenty of essential nutrients and plant growth
regulators to improve plant fertilisation and enhance growth as well as soil amendment. It is a
special blend of imported raw materials and components of liquid organic fertilizer, making it
well suited to most commercial crops to meet their nutrition level for growth and lead to healthier
crops, better fruit yield, and higher plant growth.
