A Story of Origin and Purpose
Organic Soft Rock Phosphate, embark on a journey through Langfos’ origin and formation—born from the rich sedimentation of mineral-rich waters along the West Coast of the Cape. Discover the unique composition of Langfos, its chemical makeup, and the various packaging options available to cater to diverse agricultural needs. Dive into the specifics of this revolutionary product that has transformed farming landscapes.
What is Langfos?
Langfos, a natural marvel, has its roots deeply embedded in the sedimentation from cold, mineral-rich waters along the West Coast of the Cape. Over the years, these waters have deposited valuable minerals, further enriched by fossilized marine and terrestrial animals, leading to the formation of Langfos. This unique geological formation is now shallowly covered, making it accessible for mining and use in modern agriculture.
Understanding Langfos’ Composition
Chemical Composition & Product Information
Langfos contains a high concentration of phosphorus (P) ranging from 80-100 g/kg, expressed primarily as tri-calcium phosphate. This form of phosphorus is readily soluble in citric acid, making it highly available for plant uptake. Additionally, Langfos is rich in calcium (Ca), contributing to soil neutralization and improving overall soil health.
- Phosphorus (P): 80-100 g/kg (8-10% P as tri-calcium phosphate)
- Calcium (Ca): 20%, enhancing soil structure and nutrient availability
- Micro-Elements: Essential elements like iron (Fe), sulphur (S), magnesium (Mg), molybdenum (Mo), and zinc (Zn), supporting plant growth and soil health.
The Agricultural Benefits of Langfos
Soil Enrichment and Crop Yield
Langfos stands out in the realm of sustainable agriculture, offering a natural solution for soil enrichment. Its organic registration (Reg. Nr: B4038) underlines its commitment to eco-friendly farming practices. The high phosphorus content is crucial for root development and energy transfer in plants, while the calcium content helps improve soil structure and nutrient availability.
Quality Control and Standards
Registered under the Act 36 of 1947 as Raw Phosphate and classified as a Group 2 Fertilizer, Langfos undergoes rigorous quality control to ensure its efficacy and reliability. This consistent quality assurance makes Langfos a dependable choice for farmers seeking to enhance soil fertility and maximize crop yields.
Technical Insights and Recommendations
Optimal Usage and Application
To maximize the benefits of Langfos, it’s essential to follow specific soil preparation and application guidelines:
- Soil Testing: Conduct a thorough soil test to determine nutrient deficiencies and pH levels.
- Application Rates: Based on soil test results, apply Langfos at recommended rates to meet crop nutrient requirements.
- Integration with Other Fertilizers: Langfos can be integrated with other organic or inorganic fertilizers to provide a balanced nutrient supply.
