Mineral Farming

<Concept and Vision>Mineral farming aims to coexist with pesticides and chemical fertilizers.

We can sustain our lives and lead a healthy lifestyle by consuming crops. However, the current situation shows a continuous decline in the nutritional values of crops. This is mainly due to a shift in farming methods from traditional 'soil cultivation,' which promotes the growth of soil bacteria, to an 'economy-prioritized' approach that prioritizes crop yield. Consequently, this change has resulted in various problems, including reduced nutritional values, crop failures, and excessive use of pesticides and chemical fertilizers.

However, it is challenging for us to completely eliminate the use of pesticides and chemical fertilizers.

Therefore, our objective is to achieve a 'coexistence of mineral farming with pesticides and chemical fertilizers' and prioritize a 'soil-based' farming approach to restore healthy soil and clean water sources. Additionally, we aim to address the agricultural challenges of the modern age by harnessing the power of minerals. Our goal is to deliver nutrient-rich and safe crops, which serve as our source of sustenance, to your dining table.

Revolutionizing Agriculture with Minerals

Agricultural Nutrient Supplement New grow-e (For Commercial Farms, Orchards, Greenhouses, and Rice Fields!)
Type %100 inorganic (nutritional supplement)
pH: Slightly acidic (pH after dilution with water)
Ingredient Trace elements (more than 25 kinds of minerals)
Expected effects ・Increases sugar content, yield, and crop size while enhancing nutritional value (minerals and vitamins)
・Reduces residual pesticides

※This 100% inorganic agricultural nutrient supplement is made by extracting ionized minerals from ores using a unique, proprietary technology.

Feature 1: (Water Purification Effect)

The power of minerals adsorbs impurities in the water, effectively binding and removing dirt to make the water cleaner. By breaking down harmful organic substances, the water used for irrigation is brought closer to its natural state. Additionally, by reducing the size of water clusters, it allows for easier penetration of "water," "oxygen," and "nutrients" into the deeper parts of the soil. Furthermore, it enhances the decomposition of "nitrate nitrogen" remaining in crops, resulting in nutrient-rich produce with improved flavor and higher sugar content.

Feature 2: (Antimicrobial Effect on Soil Bacteria)

By harnessing the power of minerals, it balances anaerobic and aerobic bacteria in the soil, promoting the activation of beneficial soil bacteria. Additionally, minerals act as catalysts to encourage the growth of healthy soil bacteria. The activation of these bacteria helps develop strong roots, leading to increased nutrient absorption and improved crop resilience against adverse conditions, such as strong winds and heavy rains. Furthermore, it has been observed that its use can help reduce residual pesticide levels.

Feature 3: (Mineral Balance)

This product provides a balanced mix of trace elements that are often deficient in soil and crops, in an easily absorbable ionized form. These trace elements include magnesium, aluminum, calcium, iron, zinc, sulfur, manganese, titanium, sodium, phosphorus, potassium, nickel, boron, silicon, chromium, cerium, vanadium, cobalt, lithium, copper, strontium, molybdenum, germanium, rubidium, fluorine, and others. When combined with regular fertilizers (N.P.K.), these trace elements are expected to improve nutrient absorption.
※Please note that our current analysis may not detect all components present, as we only measure the items specified for analysis.

Agricultural Nutrient Supplement Amino f (Formulated with minerals and natural amino acids derived from fish, shellfish, seaweed, and other marine sources!)
Type Inorganic + Organic (nutritional supplement)
Ingredients Trace elements (more than 25 kinds of minerals), amino acids (fermented fish meal)
Expected effects ・Increases sugar content, size, and nutritional value of crops while accelerating growth.
・Enhances the nutrient effectiveness of supplementary fertilization.
・Provides support for cultivation during unseasonable weather conditions.

※This solution combines agricultural minerals with naturally derived amino acids from fermented fish meal, enhancing the nutrient content for crops by blending both organic and inorganic elements. The amino acids help support cultivation during adverse weather conditions and serve as excellent nutrients for beneficial soil bacteria.

Feature 1: (Enhanced Nutrient Supply)

Amino-f is formulated with mineral-based fermented fish meal amino acids (organic matter). By combining minerals (inorganic) with amino acids, it offers both immediate and long-lasting nutrients, potentially increasing the nutrient retention in the soil. Additionally, it promotes microbial activity.

Feature 2: (Promotes the Growth of Beneficial Bacteria in Soil)

By harnessing the power of blended minerals, Amino-f absorbs impurities in the water and helps create a clean environment for soil bacteria. In combination with the antimicrobial properties of the minerals in Amino-f, the inclusion of organic amino acids enhances its ability to promote the growth of beneficial bacteria.

Feature 3: (Reduction of Fertilizer and Top Dressing)

Previously, various fertilizers were applied as supplements according to the growth stage. However, with the power of organic amino acids and minerals blended in Amino-f, it is now possible to use Amino-f as a substitute for supplementary fertilizers, leading to a reduction in overall fertilizer usage.

Minebari Lite (100% Mineral Soil Conditioner)
Type 100% Inorganic (Soil Conditioner)
Ingredients Trace elements (more than 25 kinds of minerals), Aluminosilicate minerals (zeolite)
Expected effects Enhances soil conditioning effects when used with compost, improves the retention of minerals in the soil.

※ After extracting only the ionized minerals from the ore, what remains is called mineral residue (the remainder of the ore). Minebari Lite is made by combining this mineral residue with other natural minerals. Since Minebari Lite is composed of minerals, it integrates well with the soil and naturally returns to the environment.

Feature 1: Minebari Lite (100% Mineral Soil Conditioner)

Minebari Lite stays in the soil, enriching it with a high concentration of minerals. These minerals are gradually released, promoting the growth of crops that are rich in essential minerals.

Feature 2: (Enhanced Water and Nutrient Retention)

The porous structure of the minerals in Minebari Lite absorbs excess fertilizer and mineral-rich water during over-application and releases the absorbed nutrients and minerals when needed. This helps reduce the runoff of fertilizers caused by rain after application, minimizing waste and enhancing the long-term effectiveness of fertilizers. Additionally, it can help improve soils that are over-fertilized (particularly with excess nitrogen) and promote the development of a granular soil structure.

Feature 3: (Neutralization of Harmful Substances)

The power of minerals in Minebari Lite helps neutralize various toxic gases accumulated in the soil, ensuring their harmless effects. It also reduces the presence of residual pesticides (pesticide residues) in the soil, promoting the growth of beneficial soil bacteria and fostering a healthy soil environment.
