Radicon

Humic extracts from vermicompost.

Radicon is a product with a specific action, extracted from earthworm vermicompost. Earthworm humus is used by the microflora present in the soil as a natural substrate. Radicon stimulates the development of new roots, making transplanting easier and improving the uptake of macronutrients and micronutrients, and therefore fruit enlargement. It improves the chemical and physical structure of the soil, enhancing its microbial and enzymatic fertility. It stimulates rooting and establishment. Ideal for depleted soils. The main groups of microorganisms present in Radicon are: Amylolytic: microorganisms responsible for the breakdown of starches. Cellulolytic: digestion of cellulose and formation of humus. Nitrosifying: convert ammonia (NH) and the ammonium ion (NH4*) into nitrite ions (NO2-) and subsequently into nitrate ions (NO3-) taken up by plants. Nitrifying: convert organic nitrogen into nitrites and nitrates that the plant can use again. Sulphate-reducing: reduce sulphate to sulphide, the primary source for the synthesis of amino acids. Sulphur-oxidising: oxidise sulphur, iron and sulphides to sulphates, which are taken up by plants. Nitrogen-fixing: aerobic and anaerobic: fix molecular nitrogen (N2) into ammoniacal nitrogen (NH3). Ammoniacal nitrogen is subsequently made available for many important biological molecules. Denitrifying: convert nitrates directly into gaseous nitrogen, which returns to the atmosphere. Ammonifying: break down proteins and other organic compounds, producing the ammonium ion, which is then converted into nitrate ion taken up by plants. Actinomycetes: break down those organic compounds, of plant and animal origin, that resist microbial attack, producing stable humus in the soil. They regulate the biological balance in the soil through the production of natural antibiotics. They stimulate vegetation and the microbial flora and are responsible for the characteristic smell of “wet earth”.

We recommend using Radicon throughout the crop cycle, at intervals of 7-10 days at minimum rates. If Radicon cannot be used in this way, we recommend using it during the most delicate stages of the crop cycle: transplanting (or vegetative restart in the case of tree crops), flowering and fruit enlargement.

It can be mixed with all fertilisers, simple or complex, whose efficacy it promotes by increasing root permeability. A preliminary compatibility test is nevertheless always recommended. APPROVED FOR ORGANIC FARMING. Humic extracts without added phenolic substances and extracts with non-ammoniacal salts of an inorganic nature.
