Monty's and the Environment
Sustainable Agriculture

Australian gardeners & farmers are aware of the impact conventional fertiliser methods have on our environment. Most are willing to change but are unsure if it is possible or feasible. Monty’s Australia offers a real alternative to conventional agriculture methods with a liquid organic fertiliser program that is ‘economically viable and socially acceptable’.

In applying solid chemical fertiliser there is much waste (up to 80%) in terms of ground run-off and leaching. This run-off of dangerous chemicals quite often ends up in a natural water source such as a local river, eventually these chemicals find there way out into oceans. Along with run-off or leaching into waterways, chemical fertiliser damages the natural biological state of the soil. Chemicals will more often than not destroy the many bugs and micro organisms that are needed to balance a healthy soil structure. Monty’s soil conditioner (MLC) increases the micro-biological activity in the soil, fostering soil animal life such as earthworms, which maximizes the absorption of nutrients, and water, by the root systems. MLC will help repair soils that have been damaged by over use of chemical fertilisers high in salt.

Monty’s small amount of material acts as a catalyst in activating the plant to reach out and take in more nitrogen and other nutrients that are naturally available to the plant both in the soil and in the air. And it does so in many ways. Much is explained by our formulation of chelated quality nutrients and our unique patented humic substance, yet in some areas we are witnessing synergies that we cannot totally explain, and one of these areas is the way it holds and manages water, acting as a hydro sieve on the roots.

Plant fertility is dependant on photosynthesis and the plants ability to develop and create a root system able to sustain maximum yields. High energy levels will lead to increased microbial life within the rhizosphere (root zone). Microbial life in the soil is the second most important process behind photosynthesis.

Monty’s changes the soil conditions, both physically and biologically, creating more root zone development, (increases of 100% - 300%), therefore loosening and aerating the soils so they may work naturally and efficiently. The expression is always true, “what you put into the soil will come back to the harvester”.

Monty’s contains a high quality carbon source along with essential major and trace elements that make an ideal environment for azotobactor development. The low salts in Monty’s will not limit the development of the bacteria.

Conventional fertilisers contain very high levels of salts, which tend to inhibit the bacteria growth and drain the area of essential moisture. Too much salt will pull moisture away from the root zone and prevent the development of bacteria. The summary of Monty’s in the rhizosphere (root zone) can be examined by looking at the reduction of added nitrogen to sustain the same yields as fields using conventional fertiliser.

Monty’s Plant Food is part of an innovative plant and soil enhancement program. Unlike conventional fertilisers, Monty’s is most effective when applied directly to the plant. As a foliar applied product, Monty’s allows for direct distribution of nutrients to the plant and seed. Provided that good soil fertility is maintained, Monty’s can maximize a plants development throughout its life cycle.
