Slurry Grass Crops Livestock Soil Water The Environment

What s Plocher about? Farmers have noticed the changes in agriculture over the last number of years and how much the costs in farming have risen, making it harder to earn a good living for their families. The more intensive the farming, the higher the costs, eating into any profits. Some of the high costs in farming are attributed to increasing damage to soil structure, crop diseases and deterioration in animal health. Plocher has spent more than 30 years developing products to address these very problems, allowing farmers to continue farming intensively, but with much less damage to soil, water and the environment. The Plocher system has been developed to tackle the causes of soil deterioration, crop diseases and poor animal health - not just treat the symptoms. Plocher operates in more than 35 countries worldwide with tremendous success. Plocher products allow farmers to improve their soil, plant and animal health. More and more farmers are becoming aware of the advantages of aerobic farm practices and the more profitable end result. As the soil s health and fertility improves, so does that of the animals which live off the crops grown on this healthy soil. Aerobically treated slurry and manure is the first step.

Plocher Slurry Treatment (All Animals) Main benefits: The environment in the slurry tank is changed from anaerobic to aerobic, resulting in a huge reduction in pathogenic bacteria, gases & odours Creates a much healthier environment for animals on slats by reducing ammonia emissions The slurry is more easily mixed Higher fertiliser value through the binding of nitrogen Reduced nitrogen loss to the atmosphere or leaching Nutrients are more available for plants Saves money on fertilisers Less environmental pollution Doesn't leave slime residue on the fields No scorching of grass or plants Creates a healthier aerobic soil where worms thrive Keeps on working in the soil, enhancing its structure Produces higher value, higher sugar-level crop Healthy soil is the key to profitable farming. Over time, with Plocher products, the soil structure and its fertility improve, thus allowing a gradual reduction of synthetic fertilisers. A good soil structure has good water retention in drought conditions and good drainage when needed. The soil stays warmer, extending the growing period. Proven over 30 years Plocher Slurry can be bought in 2kg & 10kg packs. 2kg will treat up to 30000 gallons 10kg will treat up to 150000 gallons Heavy usage of chemicals, disinfectants and antibiotics can affect the effectiveness of the slurry treatment.

Plocher Soil Activator (Humusboden me) Rejuvenates the soil Stimulates micro-organisms Accelerates better composting Improves soil structure and fertility Better water retention in droughts Promotes worm population Regulates ph Creates healthy aerobic soils Higher leaf (brix) sugar levels in crops Better resistance to soil-borne diseases Good crop yields - higher dry matter USES: Crops, Grassland, Horticulture & Forestry Available in 2 litre and 10 litre packs 2 litres covers 7.5 acres & 10 litres 37.5 acres Plocher Leaf Special Strengthens and protects plants Enhanced biological and energetic qualities Better growth Plant root development Supports improved photosynthesis Good plant leaf health Higher leaf (brix) sugar levels Better disease and pest resistance Both these products dissolve easily in water and can be used in conjunction with any other crops sprays or pesticides. Note: always add Plocher products to sprayer tank before any other additional products USES: Crops, Grassland, Horticulture Available in 2 litre and 10 litre packs 2 litres covers 25 acres & 10 litres 125 acres

Plocher Livestock Benefits Increased vitality and well-being Improved resistance to illnesses Starts a revitalization process of the organism Improved digestion and assimilation Helps create a biological optimum (meat & milk quality) Application: Cattle, calves, sheep and goats: 1-2g / day Plocher Vital Livestock Benefits Balances and vitalizes the organism Better resistance against infections Improved digestion and assimilation Better growth Increased biological end energetic qualities Shortened regeneration phase No withholding period Application: Cattle: 5g /week Calves sheep and pigs: 2-3g / week Plocher Pig Special Benefits Promotes vitality in the animals Increases well-being, decreases stress Better digestion and absorption Better meat quality Application: 50g / ton onto dry feed or 30g / 1000 litres to water

Poultry Manure Treatment Natural, aerobic decomposition process starting in the hen house Bedding stays drier with significant reduction of ammonia, etc. Less harmful pathogens - beneficial milieu for positive organisms Better housing climate produces healthier chickens and eggs Helps reduce the need for antibiotic treatments Reduction of flies. Reduces bad odours. Less litter volume Also treats poultry litter heaps and land areas used for free range Increased fertiliser value of manure through binding of nitrogen Application rates : 3g per m 2 on concrete floor and 2g on bedding. Then 2g per m 2 on bedding as needed. Mix with 200g of water per m 2. Can also be mixed with sawdust or sand. Can be applied with garden watering can with rose attached. Free range breeding: Use 20g / 100m2 Plocher poultry manure treatment sprayed onto the free-range area, 1 to 3 applications per month - depending on quantity of accumulated manure and whether odours develop. Poultry Supplement Benefits Increased vitality and well-being Eggshell Consistency is improved Better laying performance More weight gain Improved digestion and assimilation Less ammonia build-up Application 60g / ton onto dry feed or 30g / 1000 litres to water

Plocher Composter Reduces ammonia and odours Starts composting in shed Stimulates beneficial aerobic microbes Accelerates aerobic decomposition Greatly improves hygiene in building Keeps the bedding drier, firmer & cleaner Reduces the risk of illnesses in young animals Aerobic conditions = reduction in pathogenic bacteria Creates a milieu for beneficial organisms Excellent for calving or lambing Gives young animals a healthier start in life On the manure heap It accelerates decomposition Aerobic decomposition reduces pathogenic bacteria Manure heaps shrink in volume Higher nitrogen content through the transformation of ammonia (NH3) to ammonium (NH4) Fewer flies and vermin around manure heaps Waste is transformed to a nutrient-rich fertiliser with very little odour and spreads more evenly over fields Less ammonia = a better environment for animals and farmer Wheat and oat straw has poor absorbency for bedding. Barley straw is best. Peat is even better. Plocher composter s efficiency can be affected if the straw has had a lot of pesticide and chemical treatments or bleaches have been used on the concrete floors. All Plocher products are totally natural carrier materials and are licensed for organic farming practices

Horse Bedding & Manure Composter An economic ecological composting treatment for horse manure and bedding (straw, sawdust & wood shavings). Also treats dung heaps, paddocks and grassland. In the stable 3ml per m 2 on concrete floor and 2ml on bedding Then 1-2ml per m 2 per week on bedding Better indoor environment with deep litter bedding Practically eliminates harmful ammonia gases Horses more content and healthier Accelerates aerobic decomposition Greatly improves hygiene in building Keeps the bedding drier, firmer & cleaner Bedding needs changing less Reduction in pathogenic bacteria Creates a milieu for beneficial organisms Sanitizing effect - reduced smell and fewer flies in stables On the manure heap On manure heaps: 40ml per m 3 Accelerates decomposition. Less volume Keeps down the smell with fewer flies Produces better quality fertiliser compost Higher nutrient value. Higher nitrogen value On the paddock / field 10ml / 100m 2 or 400ml per acre Helps sanitize and heal the soil Promotes soil organisms and earthworms More nutrients available for plants Better humus. Absorbs more water Improved quality of pasture with fewer weeds Less spent on fertiliser. Ideal for organic farming

Septic Tank Treatment Odour reduction around tank and in the house Supports natural degradation Cleaner sewer pipes, improving the flow Helps dissolve fats Keeps soakaways clear Easy application 200g Sprinkle 20 grams into toilet bowl to start, then 15 grams every month.
