Powerful mineral fertilizer
Rich in trace elements, silicon, calcium and magnesium. Boost the soil of your crops.
The basis of agricultural production is the soil, in recent years we have focused on "feeding" the crops and we have forgotten about the needs of the soil. Volcanic rock flour improves soil fertility and stimulates the biological activity of the soil, the result is fertile soil that gives good crops regardless of the crop.
3Ms Organic Agriculture
Organic Matter - Microorganisms - Minerals
It is a simple model that has worked for millions of years, now due to the overexploitation of soils, we must try to compensate for the wear and tear of the soil and the decompensation of the 3M, and this is where rock flours do their job, remineralizing the soil to achieve a perfect equation that allows stronger and more productive crops.
Advantages of volcanic rock flour or pozzolana
- Universal mineral fertilizer, provides Silicon, Calcium, Magnesium and iron among 70 other minerals.
- Revitalizes soils worn out either by the abuse of chemical fertilizers or by continuous monoculture, causing the clay-humus complex.
- Soil regenerator, loosens the soil, improving its structure for greater crop growth, especially in clay and compact soils.
- Increases the PH of the soil, reduces the content of exchangeable acid cations, increases the cation exchange capacity of the soil and increases the content of basic cations in the soil.
- Protects against pests and diseases.
- Retains and preserves moisture
- Its acids dissolve the minerals that the soil already has and the crops take advantage of them.
- Avoid nitrogen losses

Particle size distribution of rock flour
We have several granulometries, 0-1 mm. and micronized volcanic stone flour.
Micronized rock flour is more expensive but it compensates since the amount of input is reduced by having a higher contact surface than the 0-1 mm granulometry.
Amount of volcanic rock flour to contribute
In the case of application by sprinkling with micronized rock, 200 grams per 1 m² is sufficient, (2 tons per hectare) in the case of 0-1 mm rock flour. About 400 grams per m² (4 tons per hectare) will be needed. If applied directly to the plant we can reduce the amount needed by half.
Application using irrigation water, only use micronized rock flour, mix and apply with a continuous agitation machine.
