Benefits:
- Represents a valuable opportunity to rapidly
convert crop residues into organic carbon/humus. Often stubble,
and the root matter below the ground, is the only organic matter
that is returned to the soil and it becomes essential to maximise
the organic carbon conversion rate.
- Dry, fibrous stubble can be
rapidly decomposed within two to four weeks.
- Inedible fibrous
material can be converted to an edible stockfeed within one
week.
- In prolonged dry periods this product will
still perform at 40% - 50% efficiency.
- Stubble-Tech™ is possibly
the first fungi-based inoculum that can be successfully multiplied
in liquid (normally fungi require a solid substrate in which
to breed).
- Australian designed.
- Both the Stubble-Tech and the Fungi Food
have been autoclaved to avoid bacterial contamination. Note: Bacteria
will always outperform fungi if they are introduced into a brewing
medium in any significant number.
- Non-toxic to humans, animals
and plants.
Packaging:
- 1
litre twin pack (1 litre of Stubble-Tech and 1 litre of food), 4
litre twin pack (4 litres of Stubble-Tech and 4 litres of food)
Typical Analysis:
- Contains
1 to 10 million propagules and spores per gram. Species include 5
strains of Chaetamium, 2 strains of Trichoderma (one of which is
predatory) and 2 strains of yeast.
Application Rates:
Spray
- Apply 10 litres of brewed product per hectare
(usually combined with 50 - 100 litres of water).
- The product
should be boom-sprayed over the stubble rather than irrigated.
- Do not exceed spray pressures of 60 psi
to avoid damage to microbes.
- Product should be sprayed immediately
after brewing - don't leave standing overnight.
- Evening or late
afternoon is the best application time to avoid microbes drying
out in the hot sun.
- Soil moisture is very important despite
a capacity to perform in dry conditions.
Luxury Stubble Digestion Program
- 10 litres per hectare Stubble Tech brewed concentrate
- 10 litres
of molasses per hectare
- 20 to 40kg of urea
- 1kg of potassium humate
granules
Brewing Instructions
- Add 1 litre of
Nutri-Life Stubble-Tech™ and 1 litre of Nutri-Tech Fungi
Food to 200 litres of clean water and aerate at 28°C for
48 hours. Fungal hyphae may block nozzles
and/or filters. Big jets and high water rates are ideal. Clean
water and clean equipment is imperative of the success of the
brew. Stubble-Tech can create a mass of filamentous fungal strands.
Don't exceed 48 hours or you may have to shovel the dense hyphae
from your brewing tank. 24 hours brewing time is acceptable if
necessary.
Information:
- Dry conditions - as a rule of thumb if there
is enough moisture to sustain any plant growth then these species
will continue to survive. Ideally this inoculum should be combined
with humic acid, molasses and urea. Humic acid and urea stimulate
the Stubble-Tech™ species and the remaining stubble digesting
microbes already existing in the soil. Urea is often needed to
address the carbon : nitrogen ratio relevant when decomposing fibrous
material. Urea can often determine the success or failure of program.
- The
cellulose digesting fungi in Stubble-Tech™ will obviously perform
best in moist conditions and for this reason the stubble should
ideally be disced into the soil. However, the fungi will still
offer benefit if applied to crop residue in a no-till situation.
- Spray or fertigation tanks must be chemical
free. To clean equipment, make a 1% urea solution (1kg/100 litres
of water). Fill tank and spray hoses and let sit overnight. Then
empty and rinse.
- Contains live organisms - do dot apply in
conjunction with toxic chemicals.
- For dry, fibrous material, Stubble-Tech™ will
tend to perform better than Accelerate™
- All living microbes should be added to
a liquid mix last, ie. after all other products are diluted.
- It
is very important to realise that high pressure rates with spray
equipment can damage or destroy beneficial microorganisms. Try not
to exceed pressures of 60 psi.
