Nutrient dense compost in a dry, granulated form for easy application
Suståne Concentrated Compost 2-3-3 provides the benefits of a biologically stable aerobic compost in a easy to apply concentrated, dry form. Concentrated Compost replenishes the soil with a rich supply of stabilized organic matter and essential nutrients required for quality growth.
Use as a replacement for wet compost as a general soil builder. Ideal for use on dam- aged farmland or transitional ground, amend depleted soils, or as a soil amendment for general soil building and fertility. Approved for use in the production of certified organic crops.
Suståne Natural Fertlizer is backed by over 30 years of independent applied research on diverse crops and ecosystems. Unmatched by any other organic fertilizer manufacturer, such research is the foundation for develop- ing products that deliver value under a wide variety of growing conditions. The superior performance of Suståne's products is recog- nized by growers from around the world.
- Provides the benefits of compost in a dry, concentrated form, which minimizes transportation and application costs
- Supplies soil with 50% stabilized organic matter
- Increases the nutrient and water-holding capacity of the soil
- Improves and sustains soil quality
- Increases the soil’s cation exchange capacity
- Improves soil structure, porosity, and stability, leading to greater root development
- Pathogen- and weed-free.
- Aerobic composting eliminates animal and rodent attraction to the application site.
- With Suståne, the energy required to transport is reduced by 4:1 per kg. vs. wet compost.
- Made from natural, renewable agricultural resources, has a low carbon & greenhouse gasses (GHG) footprint.
- Suståne complies with regulatory mandates and exceeds most health & safety standards.
- The Suståne process avoids the generation of more significant greenhouse gasses such as methane and nitrous oxide.
Suståne Concentrated Compost is intended as a general soil builder for broadcast application and improving soil organic matter levels, cation exchange capacity and enhancing and diversifying soil biological activi- ty levels as shown in the microbial diversity index analysis. Final fertilizer recommendations should be based on laboratory soil tests and a crop's nutritional needs.
Soil Preparation for Gardens, Landscapes and Agricultural Crops
- Light, High Sandy Soil: 14 lb. per 100 ft2 of bed (70 kg per 100 m2)
- Medium, Clay Loam Soil 10 lb. per 100 ft2 of bed (50 kg per 100 m2)
- Heavy, Silty, Clay Loam 7 lb. per 100 ft2 of bed (35 kg per 100 m2)
Low Rate: Recommended for use on salt-sensitive species; when concurrent with liquid feed; with production systems utilizing low leaching fractions (less than 10%); and when applied to heavy potting substrates (total porosity less than 65%).
Medium Rate: Recommended for use on medium feeding species; on most nurs- ery stock and foliage plants; and when liquid feed is not performed concurrently.
High Rate: Recommended for use on heavy feeding species; with production systems utilizing high leaching fractions (greater than 20%); and when applied to light, porous substrates (total porosity greater than 80%).
Broadcast Application
Incorporate into the top 2 - 4 in. (5-10 cm) of soil
Low Rate: apply 1,200 lb. per acre
Medium Rate: apply 2,000 lb. per acre
High Rate: apply 2,800 lb. per acre
Remediation
For bio-remediation, forest re-establishment and extreme situations where topsoil has been removed or badly damaged, incorporate 3 tons per acre (6.5 metric tons per Ha) into the damaged soil.
Land Management, Native Plant Restoration & Erosion Control Programs
Suståne Concentrated Compost is intended as a general soil builder for broadcast application and improving soil organic matter level, cation exchange capacity, enhancing and diversifying soil biological activity.
Microbial Diversity
Rich in microbial diversity, Sustane helps restore life to disturbed soils by supplying these beneficial micro-organisms: aerobic heterotrophs, yeasts, fungi, beneficial baccilli, actinomycetes, and pseudomonads. Visit www.sustane.com for additional microbial diversity analysis.
Hydroseeding
Typical application rates vary between 1-3 tons per acre (2-6.5 metric tons per Ha) depending upon soil test results.
Mix with water solution at a ratio of 2 lb. Suståne Concentrated Compost to 1 gallon of water (1 kg per 4 L water) 1 ton per 1,000 gallon tank.
