＜Concept and Vision＞We are aiming at the coexistence of mineral farming 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.

"Agricultural revolution with minerals"
New grow-e (For farmers, orchards, plastic greenhouses and paddy 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 | ・Increase sugar content, yield, size and nutritional value (minerals and vitamins) ・Reduction of pesticide residues |
New grow-e has the ability to absorb impurities in water using the power of minerals and effectively eliminate them. It can also break down harmful organic matter present in the water, resulting in irrigation water that closely resembles natural water. Furthermore, it promotes the penetration of "water," "oxygen," and "nutrients" deep into the soil by creating smaller water clusters. Additionally, it enhances the decomposition of "nitrate nitrogen" that remains within crops, leading to more nutritious and flavorful crops with increased sugar content.
By harnessing the power of minerals, it maintains a balance between anaerobic and aerobic bacteria in the soil, aiding in the activation of soil bacteria. Moreover, minerals are employed as catalysts to foster the growth of beneficial soil bacteria. The activation of soil bacteria enables the formation of robust roots, resulting in increased nutrient absorption and enhanced crop resilience against harsh conditions such as strong winds and heavy rains. Furthermore, it has been noted that using it as a dilution for pesticide solutions helps reduce residual pesticide effects.
It contains a balanced combination of "trace elements" that are often lacking 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, and fluorine, among others. By complementing the regular fertilizers (N.P.K) with these trace elements, it is expected to enhance nutrient absorption.
Please note that the current composition analysis may not cover all the included components since we can only measure the items that were specified through the component analysis.
Amino-f (A blend of natural amino acids and minerals derived from fish, shellfish, seaweed, and other marine animal sources!)
| Type | Inorganic + Organic (nutritional supplement) |
|---|---|
| Ingredients | Trace elements (more than 25 kinds of minerals), amino acids (fermented fish powder) |
| Expected effects | ・Increased sugar content, size, and nutritional value of crops, promoting early harvesting. ・Enhanced effect of supplementary fertilizers. ・Assistance in cultivation during unseasonable weather conditions |
※We have blended natural amino acids fermented from fish powder into agricultural minerals to enhance the nutrient content for crops by combining organic and inorganic elements.
Amino acids not only assist in cultivation during unseasonable weather conditions but also serve as a favorable food source for beneficial soil bacteria.
Amino-f is formulated with fermented fish powder-derived amino acids (organic) based on minerals. By combining minerals (inorganic) and amino acids in the formulation, it is expected to enhance both the immediate and sustained nutrient effects, leading to improved nutrient sustainability in the soil. Additionally, it can contribute to the activation of microorganisms.
By harnessing the power of the 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 the ability to promote the growth of beneficial bacteria.
Previously, various fertilizers were applied as supplementary fertilizers according to the growth stage. However, with the power of organic amino acids and minerals blended in Amino-f, it is now possible to substitute Amino-f for supplementary fertilizers. This leads to the reduction of fertilizer usage and supplementary fertilization.
Minebari Lite (100% mineral soil activator)
| Type | 100% inorganic (soil activator) |
|---|---|
| Ingredients | Trace elements (more than 25 kinds of minerals), Aluminosilicate minerals (zeolite) |
| Expected effects | When combined with compost, it improves soil quality and promotes better retention of minerals in the soil. |
※After extracting only the ionized minerals from the ores, the remaining material is mineral residue (residual ore). Minebari Lite is a blend of this mineral residue and other natural ores. Being an ore itself, it integrates well with the soil and naturally returns to the environment.
Minebari Lite remains in the soil, enriching it with abundant minerals. From there, it slowly releases minerals, resulting in nutrient-rich soil that promotes the growth of mineral-rich crops.
The inclusion of porous mineral structures in Minebari Lite allows it to absorb excessive fertilizers and mineral water during application, and subsequently release them when needed. This helps prevent nutrient runoff during rainfall after fertilization, reducing wastage and improving the longevity of fertilizers. It also contributes to the improvement of excessively fertilized soils (excessive nitrogen fertilizers) and the development of soil aggregates, resulting in improved soil structure.
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.
