Actiferm

This bio-active product is diluted with water up to 1:100 before spraying.

Please remember not to use mains water as it contains chlorine which kills microbes.

• To treat 100x M², dilute 500mls Actiferm with 50 Litres of water. We recommend you do this four times a year.
• Use in combination with Vulkamin remineralisation powder to boost healthy growth and eliminate bald patches and moss.
• The diluted Actiferm can be put on using a watering can or added to a spraying system connected to a hose pipe. Spray directly onto the soil and/or foliage. Foliar spraying has the advantage of pest prevention.

Please remember not to use mains water as it contains chlorine which kills microbes.

• For flowers, vegetables, and shrubs – use a dilution of 1:100
• For roses spray weekly from early summer through to mid-summer

Please remember not to use mains water as it contains chlorine which kills microbes.

• To treat 10x M², dilute 50mls Actiferm with 5 Litres of water.

Fruit Spraying Regime

• February 1x application – spray whole bush/tree with diluted Actiferm
• March – Spray TWICE
• April – Spray TWICE
• May – Spray every ten days
• June, July and August – Spray every five days.

Following the EM fruit regime, frequent spraying can prevent many diseases and pests common in fruit growing and powdery mildew and aphids.

• Dilute 1 Litre of Actiferm in 10 Litres of water.
• Sprinkle over the compost heap to eliminate odour and speed up composting.
• Cover the top of compost with a blanket or carpet.
• Then every 4 weeks do the same process when you turn it. Do these 3 to 4 times.
• Then turn it when you can. The more you turn it, the more oxygen you can add and the quicker the process. But this could take up to 12 months because of the carbon content.

• 1m3 Organic Matter
• C:N ratio of 20:1
• Moisture % of 35-65
• 2 Litres of Actiferm (Effective Microorganisms)
• 10kgs Ægir Seashell (pH regulator)
• 10kgs Edasil Clay Minerals (nutrient binder)

• Use 1 Litre of Actiferm per 1000 Litres of water.
• Apply, just once, in the Spring; April or May
• Maintain with EM Mud balls.
• Use 1 x mud ball per M³.
• Apply three times per year in the spring, summer and autumn.

• Add 1 Litre per 10,000 Litres of pool water
• Apply every two weeks.
• If weather temperatures are high in mid-summer, it may be necessary to add weekly.
• Prevents algae growth in pools.

NOTE: The water will have a light brownish colour. For less colour our Bioactive cleaning products Wipe&Clean can be used. Do not use together with chemicals. This is non-chemical maintenance. Use EM Ceramics in the filter for best results.

• The BIOSTABLE Stable management is an integral part of the cycle concept that Agriton promotes. With a well-constructed biostable, you save on bedding material and labour.  The risk of infection is lower than in traditional housing, and the fermented manure contains up to twice the amount of soil nutrition compared with composted manure.

  How to start a biostable?

  First, choose between “mucking-out“ or “deep bedding“. The start-up is similar, but the steps are different afterwards. The mucked-out material goes to ferment on the dung heap, whereas the deep bedding in the barn ferments as the layers are increased.

  1. Spray Actiferm (ratio 5L / 100L of water) on the box stall floor.
  2. Start with a layer of bedding (straw, hemp, flax straw). Avoid using woody material as this is difficult to ferment.
  3. Apply a thin sprinkled layer (250g / m²) of Vulkamin (and clay minerals) on top of the bedding layer to absorb moisture.
  4. Apply a layer of bedding material (wheat straw, elephant grass).
  5. Spray Actiferm (ratio 5L / 100L  of water) on the bedding material.
  6. Depending on the chosen system, the manure balls will either be removed daily or left on the bedding. In both cases, fresh daily new bedding is applied. To treat the wetter areas, the bedding material is also sprinkled with Vulkamin twice a week (and clay minerals). ==> STABLE 9m²: 500g once / stable of 12m²: 750g at a time.
  7. Spray three times per week with diluted Actiferm (5L / 100L) on the bedding material. ==> STABLE 9m²: dividing one litre of solution at a time.    Stable of 12m²: 1.5 litres of solution.    On an annual basis, it is a total of 1L / m² box stall.

  Benefits

  • Eliminates odours and flies
  • Better breakdown of manure
  • Improves the life of the paddock soil and turf

  Actiferm provides an easy solution for manure processing. Sprayed over the bedding material facilitates the conversion of the organic material (waste) in the horsebox. The production of ammonia is drastically reduced, thus preventing any rotting process. Respiratory problems are less frequent.  There are fewer flies attracted to the stable, and we have scientifically proven that Actiferm disrupts the reproduction cycle of the fly.

  Horses defecate at fixed locations and barely eat afterwards. We see developing rich ‘toilet zones and poor grazing areas’ on the horse pastures. To prevent such a phenomenon, the meadows should be mowed regularly and raked. This allows the clippings and manure to be evenly distributed over the pasture and develop a nice even grass sod—Spray Actiferm during or after mowing or raking to enhance the conversion of manure and grass clippings. The soil benefits quickly from the nutrition provided, which benefits the growth of the turf. The Actiferm also acts as a soil activator, increasing the ‘life’ in the soil whereby the root system of the grass is more robust and denser hence fewer weeds.
