Fertilizers
Fertilizers are soil amendments applied to promote plant growth; the main nutrients
present in fertilizer are nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium (the 'macronutrients')
and other nutrients ('micronutrients') are added in smaller amounts. Fertilizers are
usually directly applied to soil, and also sprayed on leaves ('foliar feeding').
A soil conditioner, also called a soil amendment, is a material added to soil to
improve plant growth and health. A conditioner or a combination of conditioners
corrects the soil's deficiencies in structure and-or nutrients.
The type of conditioner added depends on the current soil composition, climate, and
the type of plant. Some soils lack nutrients necessary for proper plant growth. Some
hold too much or too little water, with water conservation aided in the latter. They can
be incorporated into the soil or applied to the surface.
Lime is used to make soil less acidic, as is lime-containing crushed stone. Fertilizers,
such as peat, manure, anaerobic digestive or compost add depleted plant nutrients.
Materials such as diatomaceous earth, clay, vermiculite, hydrogel, and shredded bark
will make soil hold more water. Gypsum releases nutrients and improves soil
structure. Sometimes a soil inoculant is added for legumes.
Unless clay is incorporated into a healthy crumb structure, water may bond to it too
strongly to be available to plant roots or run off before penetrating the surface.
Mulching is one technique to correct this.
Humus
Humus has a characteristic black or dark brown color, due to an accumulation of
organic carbon.
In soil science, humus refers to any organic matter that has reached a point of
stability, where it will break down no further and might, if conditions do not change,
remain essentially as it is for centuries, if not millennia.
6. NUSANTARA PLANTATIONS SDN. BHD. - TaaVeeKun fertilizer
www.fertilelands.wordpress.com 5
In agriculture, humus is sometimes also used to describe mature compost, or natural
compost extracted from a forest or other spontaneous source for use to amend soil. It
is also used to describe a topsoil horizon that contains organic matter (humus type,
humus form, humus profile).
Fertilizers typically provide, in varying proportions:
the three primary macronutrients: nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P), and potassium
(K).
the three secondary macronutrients: calcium (Ca), sulfur (S), magnesium
(Mg).
and the micronutrients or trace minerals: boron (B), chlorine (Cl), manganese
(Mn), iron (Fe), zinc (Zn), copper (Cu), molybdenum (Mo) and selenium (Se).
Fertilizers are broadly divided into organic fertilizers (composed of enriched organic
matter—plant or animal), or inorganic fertilizers (composed of synthetic chemicals
and/or minerals).
Organic fertilizers include naturally occurring organic materials, (e.g. manure, worm
castings, compost, seaweed, guano), or naturally occurring mineral deposits (e.g.
saltpeter).
Benefits of organic fertilizer
Organic fertilizers have been known improve the biodiversity (soil life) and long-term
productivity of soil, and may prove a large depository for excess carbon dioxide.
Organic nutrients increase the abundance of soil organisms by providing organic
matter and micronutrients for organisms such as fungal mycorrhiza, (which aid plants
in absorbing nutrients), and can drastically reduce external inputs of pesticides,
energy and fertilizer, at the cost of decreased yield.
According to UC IPM, all organic fertilizers are classified as 'slow-release' fertilizers,
and therefore cannot cause nitrogen burn.
TAAVEEKUN fertilizers are organic bio-mineral based.
Ammonium Sulphate
Ammonium sulphate contains 21 percent nitrogen and 24 percent sulfur. It
blends easily with other ingredients, including urea, to form complete
fertilizers. It is very stable and can be stored for longer periods since it does
not melt in humid conditions. It will make the soil more acidic over time so soil
testing is recommended.
Diammonium Phosphate
Used as a phosphorous component in complete fertilizers, it also contains a
substantial amount of nitrogen, 18 percent to be exact. Another common
phosphorous source that contains nitrogen includes monoammonium
phosphate.

FUNCTIONS OF THE ELEMENTS OBTAINED FROM THE SOIL AND ADDED FERTILIZER
A. Primary Plant Food Elements
Nitrogen Plants rapidly utilize these elements and unfertilized Phosphorus soils
normally cannot provide them in quantities needed for Potassium (Potash) best
plant growth.
Nitrogen (N)
1. Promotes rapid vegetative growth (leaf and stems) hastening recovery after
mowing and imparting vigor to the turf.
2. A vital element in the formation and function of chlorophyll–the key
ingredient imparting dark green color.
3. Synthesizes amino acids which in turn form protein.
4. Regulates the uptake of other nutrients.
5. Basic ingredient of vital compounds - Nucleic acid and enzymes.
Phosphorus (P)
1. Stimulates early root formation and growth–gets plants off to a good start and
forms a root filter system in the soil to efficiently pick up the other available
plant nutrients and water. Improves the strength and stamina of the plant.
2. Hastens maturity (conversion of starch to sugar).
3. Stimulates blooming and seed development.
4. Causes energy transformation and conversion processes in which sugars are
converted to hormones, protein and energy to grow new leaves and fruit.
5. Forms nucleic acids (DNA and RNA).
6. Vital for photosynthesis (greening for plants).
7. Essential for cell division.
Potassium (K)
1. Aids in the development of stems and leaves.
2. Increases disease resistance and hardiness which helps wear ability.
3. Strengthens cell walls, causing grass to stand up and reduces lodging.
4. Affects water intake by plant cells–plants with inadequate potassium may wilt
in the presence of ample moisture.
5. Acts as a catalyst in Iron uptake.
6. Essential to the formation and translocation of protein, starches, sugar and
oil–improving the size and quality of fruit, grains and tubers.
19. NUSANTARA PLANTATIONS SDN. BHD. - TaaVeeKun fertilizer
www.fertilelands.wordpress.com 18
B. Secondary Plant Food Elements
Calcium They are used in somewhat less quantities than the primary Magnesium
elements, but they are just as essential for plant growth and Sulfur quality.
Calcium (Ca)
1. Calcium is an essential part of cell wall structure and must be present for the
formation of new cells.
2. Deficiency of calcium causes weakened stemsand premature shedding of
blossoms and buds.
Magnesium (Mg)
1. Essential for photosynthesis (greening of plant).
2. Activator for many plant enzymes required in growth process.
Sulfur (S)
1. A constituent of three amino acids and is therefore essential in the formation
of protein.
2. Helps maintain green color in plants.
3. Improves alkaline soils.
4. Helps compacted soils–making them loose and allowing better water
penetration. Sulfur Note–There are commonly two types of sulfur applied to
plants and soils:
Sulfate Sulfur (SO4) Elemental Sulfur (S)
1. Sulfate Sulfur (SO4) is the form taken up for plant food. Many plants require as
much sulfur as phosphate in their growth processes. Sulfate Sulfur (SO4) is
contained in gypsum (CaSO4) and other sulfate fertilizers–Ammonium Sulfate,
Ammonium Phosphate Sulfate and many turf fertilizers.
2. Gypsum (CaSO4) will help reclaim alkali soils and make them loose and
friable. Alkali soils contain sodium which causes soil to disperse, puddle and
seal up. The free calcium from gypsum will replace the sodium on the clay
particle and allow the sodium to be leached out of the soil.
3. It also causes the small soil particles to flocculate (join together in small
crumbs), leaving space between them for air and water movement.
C. Micro nutrients
Iron (Fe)
Necessary for the formation of the chlorophyll
Iron deficiencies are most common in wet, cold or high pH soils
Aids in the activation of a number of biochemical processes within the
plant
20. NUSANTARA PLANTATIONS SDN. BHD. - TaaVeeKun fertilizer
www.fertilelands.wordpress.com 19
Zinc (Zn)
Zinc is an essential component of several plant enzymes. It is a part of
auxins and controls the synthesis of indoleacetic acid which regulates
growth compounds.
Zinc also affects the intake and efficient use of water by plants.
Manganese (Mn)
Manganese serves as an activator for enzymes in plants. Without
Manganese, the plants cannot use theiron which they have absorbed. It
assists the iron in chlorophyll formation which causes yellowish turf to
green up.
Copper (Cu)
Important in the synthesis of certain plant growth substances
Serves as an activator for several essential enzymes
Needed only in small quantites; large amounts can be toxic to turfgrass
plants
Deficiencies are usually only found in highly alkaline (high pH) organic
soils or heavily leeched soils
Chlorine (Cl)
Although essential for proper plant function, only small quantities are
required
May help in the regulation of osmotic pressure within the plant cell
Deficiency is rarely observed
Chlorophyll in the plant cell (causes turf to maintain a healthy green color). It
serves as a catalyst for biological processes such as respiration, symbiotic fixation
of nitrogen and photosynthesis.
Applications of iron can correct iron deficiency, but it may be temporary in high
pH soils, due to tie up with calcium.
This may require acidification of the soil with elemental sulfur or the use of
ammonium forms of nitrogen or some other acidification agents.
As ammonium converts to nitrate in the soil, it has an acidifying effect. This
acidifying effect makes iron and many other elements more available in high pH
soils.

GROWTH PROMOTERS
• Plant Growth Promoters are those substances used for better management of
Nutrients and Plant growth. These Plant Growth Promoters play a major role
in seed germination, fruit ripening, enhances uptake of nutrients, boost
protein synthesis, augment immunity and helps to withstand stress
conditions, reduce flower and fruit drop and help in better plant growth.
• Commonly plant growth regulators are auxins, cytocinin, gibberellins, ethylene
etc.
Effect of Amino Acids On Plants
The requirement of amino acids in essential quantities is well known as a means
to increase yield and overall quality of crops.
Amino Acids are also supplied to plant by incorporating them into the soil. It helps
in improving the micro flora of the soil thereby facilitating the assimilation of
nutrients.
Amino Acids help to increase chlorophyll concentration in the plant leading
to higher degree of photosynthesis. This makes crops lush Green
Increase crop yield and quality. Even though plants have the inherent
capacity to biosynthesize all the amino acids needed from nitrogen, carbon
oxygen and hydrogen, the biochemical process is quite complex and energy
consuming. As such, the application of amino acids such as those contained
in HYT Nutrition allow for the plant to save energy on this process, which
can be dedicated to better plant development during critical growth stages.
Amino acids are fundamental ingredients in a protein’s biosynthetic process
and nearly twenty amino acids types are involved in biosynthetic processes.
Studies have shown that amino acids can directly or indirectly in a plant’s
physiological activities.
Amino acids are applied through foliar feeding, absorbed through the plant’s
stomata or via the root area when incorporated into the soil. This also helps
improve micro flora, which in turn, facilitates the nutrient assimilation.
Auxins
The term auxin is derived from the Greek word auxein which means to grow.
Compounds are generally considered auxins if they can be characterized by their
ability to induce cell elongation in stems and otherwise resemble indoleacetic acid
22. NUSANTARA PLANTATIONS SDN. BHD. - TaaVeeKun fertilizer
www.fertilelands.wordpress.com 21
(the first auxin isolated) in physiological activity. Auxins usually affect other
processes in addition to cell elongation of stem cells but this characteristic is
considered critical of all auxins and thus "helps" define the hormone.
The following are some of the responses that auxin is known to cause
Stimulates cell elongation
Stimulates cell division in the cambium and, in combination with cytokinins
in tissue culture
Stimulates differentiation of phloem and xylem
Stimulates root initiation on stem cuttings and lateral root development in
tissue culture
Mediates the tropistic response of bending in response to gravity and light
The auxin supply from the apical bud suppresses growth of lateral buds
Delays leaf senescence
Can inhibit or promote (via ethylene stimulation) leaf and fruit abscission
Can induce fruit setting and growth in some plants
Involved in assimilate movement toward auxin possibly by an effect on
phloem transport
Delays fruit ripening
Promotes flowering in Bromeliads
Stimulates growth of flower parts
Promotes (via ethylene production) femaleness in dioecious flowers
Stimulates the production of ethylene at high concentrations
Cytokinins
• Cytokinins are compounds with a structure resembling adenine which
promote cell division and have other similar functions to kinetin. Kinetin
was the first cytokinin discovered and so named because of the compounds
ability to promote cytokinesis (cell division).
• Though it is a natural compound, It is not made in plants, and is therefore
usually considered a "synthetic" cytokinin (meaning that the hormone is
synthesized somewhere other than in a plant). The most common form of
naturally occurring cytokinin in plants today is called zeatin which was
isolated from corn (Zea mays).
A list of some of the known physiological effects caused by cytokinins are listed
below. The response will vary depending on the type of cytokinin and plant
species.
• Stimulates cell division.

• Stimulates morphogenesis (shoot initiation/bud formation) in tissue
culture.
• Stimulates the growth of lateral buds-release of apical dominance.
• Stimulates leaf expansion resulting from cell enlargement.
• May enhance stomatal opening in some species.
• Promotes the conversion of etioplasts into chloroplasts via stimulation of
chlorophyll synthesis.
Gibberellins
• Gibberellins are classified on the basis of structure as well as function. All
gibberellins are derived from the ent-gibberellane skeleton.
• The structure of this skeleton derivative along with the structure of a few of
the active gibberellins are shown above. The gibberellins are named
GA1....GAn in order of discovery.
• Gibberellic acid, which was the first gibberellin to be structurally
characterised , is GA3. There are currently 136 GAs identified from plants,
fungi and bacteria.

Chitosan – the versatile & multi functional fertilizer
1. Antimicrobial Properties of Chitosan
Chitosan exhibits a variety of antimicrobial activities which depend on the type of
chitosan (native or modified), its degree of polymerization, the host, the chemical
and/or nutrient composition of the substrates, and environmental conditions. In
some studies, oligomeric chitosans (pentamers and heptamers) have been
reported to exhibit a better antifungal activity than larger units. In others, the
antimicrobial activity increased with the increase in chitosan molecular weight,
and seems to be faster on fungi and algae than on bacteria.
2. Against viruses
Chitosan was shown to inhibit the systemic propagation of viruses and viroids
throughout the plant and to enhance the host’s hypersensitive response to
infection. The level of suppression of viral infections varied according to chitosan
molecular weight. Similar observations were reported with the potato virus X,
tobacco mosaic and necrosis viruses, alfalfa mosaic virus, peanut stunt virus, and
cucumber mosaic virus virus, peanut stunt virus, and cucumber mosaic virus
ecrosis viruses, alfalfa mosaic.
3. Against bacteria
Chitosan inhibits the growth of a wide range of bacteria. The minimal growth-
inhibiting concentrations vary among species from 10–1,000 ppm. Quaternary
ammonium salts of chitosan, such as N,N,N-trimethylchitosan, N-propyl-N, N-
dimethylchitosan and N-furfuryl-N,N-dimethylchitosan were shown to be effective
in inhibiting the growth and development of Escherichia coli, especially in acidic
media. Similarly, several derivatives of chitin and chitosan were shown to inhibit
E. coli, Staphylococcus aureus, some Bacillus species, and several bacteria
infecting fish.
4. Against fungi and oomycetes
Fungicidal activity of chitosan has been documented against various species of
fungi and oomycetes. The minimal growth-inhibiting concentrations varied
between 10 and 5,000 ppm. The maximum antifungal activity of chitosan is often
observed around its pKa (pH 6.0).

5. Against insects
As more and more derivatives of chitosan (i.e., N-alkyl-, N-benzylchitosans) are
made available through chemical synthesis, their insecticidal activities are being
reported using an oral larvae feeding bioassay [37,38]. Twenty four new
derivatives were shown to have significant insecticidal activity when
administered at a rate of 5 g·kg-1 in an artificial diet [37]. The most active
derivative, N-(2-chloro-6-fluorobenzyl)chitosan, caused 100% mortality of larvae
and its LC50 was estimated at 0.32 g.kg-1. All synthesized derivatives highly
inhibited larvae growth as compared to chitosan by 7% and the most active
derivative was the O-(decanoyl)chitosan, with 64% growth inhibition after 5 days
of feeding on the treated artificial diet.
6. Applications of Chitosan in Plant Disease Control
Chitosan used to control plant pathogens has been extensively explored with more
or less success depending on the pathosystem, the used derivatives, concentration,
degree of deacylation, viscosity, and the applied formulation (i.e., soil amendment,
foliar application; chitosan alone or in association with other treatments). For
example, Muzzarelli et al. [42] tested the effectiveness of five Chemicallymodified
chitosan derivatives in restricting the growth of Saprolegnia parasitica. Results
indicated that methylpyrrolidinonechitosan, N-phosphonomethylchitosan, and N-
carboxymethylchitosan, as opposed to N-dicarboxymethylchitosan, did not allow
the fungus to grow normally.
7. Applied as seed coating agents
Guan et al. examined the use of chitosan to prime maize seeds. Although chitosan
had no significant effect on germination under low temperatures, it enhanced
germination index, reduced the mean germination time, and increased shoot
height, root length, and shoot and root dry weights in two tested maize lines. In
both tested lines, chitosan induced a decline in malonyldialdehyde content,
altered the relative permeability of the plasma membrane and increased the
concentrations of soluble sugars and proline, and of peroxidase and catalase
activities.
8. Applied as foliar treatment agents
Foliar application of chitosan has been reported in many systems and for several
purposes. For instance, foliar application of a chitosan pentamer affected the net
photosynthetic rate of soybean and maize one day after application. This
correlated with increases in stomatal conductance and transpiration rate.
Chitosan foliar application did not have any effect on the intercellular CO2
concentration. The authors reported that the observed effect on the net
photosynthetic rate is, in general, common in maize and soybean after foliar
application of high molecular weight chitosan. Foliar applications of these
oligomers did not, on the other hand, affect maize or soybean height, Root length,
leaf area, or total dry mass.

Humic Acid
Humic Acid is a bio-stimulant and can be used on turf, trees, shrubs, bushes, beds,
gardens and even on indoor plants. Almost anything that grows will benefit from
Humic Acid.
Humic Acid increases nutrient uptake, drought tolerance and seed germination. It
increases the microbial activity in the soil making it an excellent root
stimulator. Humic Acid increases the availability of nutrients that are already in
your soil and will naturally aerate the soil from the inside. It also will help to lower
the pH of the soil and will flush high levels of salts out of the root zone.
Humic Acid has been used by Nurserymen, Landscapers, Golf Courses, and Athletic
Fields for years. These professionals have found that Humic Acid saves them on
fertilizing and watering rates.
BENEFITS OF USING HUMIC ACID
Increases nutrient uptake.
Your turf (plant) will be a richer, healthier green.
Smaller amounts of fertilizers will be needed.
Increases drought tolerance.
Prevent dry spots.
Use lower amounts of water.
Increase seed vigor.
Higher seed germination.
Increase beneficial soil microbe activity.
Healthier soil means a healthier turf (plant).
Chelates and enhances availability of nutrients.
Buffers against high fertilizer salts and pH changes.
Helps keep fertilizer from leaching through the soil
Initiates vigorous root development.
Thick aggressive turf.
Improves yields and quality.
Denser turf.
