Frequently Asked Questions about GRÜNKRAFT
What if I need to apply later or miss an application deadline due to weather-related reasons?
Each application helps the plant cope better with the given conditions. If you cannot carry out all applications, this can, of course, lead to a less positive impact on yield increases than if all applications were completed.
What is GRÜNKRAFT made of?
GRÜNKRAFT is a mixture of finely ground minerals containing a high concentration of CO2. Calcite and Zeolite.
How does GRÜNKRAFT work?
After GRÜNKRAFT has been applied to both sides of the plant leaf via a fine spray mist, it enters the leaf through the stomata. The minerals release the CO2 present in the leaf. The production of glucose and proteins is improved, which leads to improved plant growth. In addition, the plant releases a higher oxygen content.
Why is zeolite in foliar fertilizer?
GRÜNKRAFT has a high zeolite content, and that makes a big difference. The zeolite particles can trap the sun's rays more effectively on the leaf, thereby contributing to more active photosynthesis.
Is the soil pH relevant?
No. As GRÜNKRAFT is absorbed through the leaf and acts within the leaf, the pH value of the soil has no effect on its efficacy.
What effect does GRÜNKRAFT have on plant growth? (Cereals)
Positive! Overall plant growth is stronger. Better root growth (especially deeper, denser, more complex roots), stronger, more stable stem development (cereals) and increased leaf mass (more biomass).
What effect does GRÜNKRAFT have in relatively cold and wet weather conditions?
GRÜNKRAFT has a positive effect on plant vitality. As a result, plants are generally better equipped to handle extreme situations.
Is the pH value of the water relevant? Extremely acidic or alkaline?
No, because GRÜNKRAFT first unfolds its effect inside the leaf. Furthermore, the product is non-toxic and therefore does not cause a chemical reaction.
For which cultures is GRÜNKRAFT suitable?
GRÜNKRAFT works with all plant types that photosynthesize.
Can I omit or reduce the use of other fertilizers or pesticides when using GRÜNKRAFT?
Essentially, GRÜNKRAFT should be seen as a supplement that supports plant growth. The usual fertilizers and pesticides should not be omitted. GRÜNKRAFT simply increases the effectiveness of other products.
Are there substances that should not be mixed with GRÜNKRAFT?
Currently, no substances are known. GRÜNKRAFT is non-toxic and does not alter or impair the properties or functionality of other products.
How well does GRÜNKRAFT dissolve in water?
GRÜNKRAFT does not dissolve in water. Water is merely the carrier. GRÜNKRAFT continuously dissolves inside the leaf through a chemical reaction.
Do I have to adhere strictly to the application deadlines?
In principle, application deadlines should be adhered to. Minor changes to the timeline do not affect product functionality.
What if I need to apply later or miss an application deadline due to weather-related reasons?
Each application helps the plant cope better with the given conditions. If you cannot carry out all applications, this can, of course, lead to a less positive impact on yield increases than if all applications were completed.
Is GRÜNKRAFT also approved for organic farming?
Yes, GRÜNKRAFT is registered by EasyCert/FiBL for organic farming.
What happens if I use too much GRÜNKRAFT?
This generally has no negative impact on functionality. However, a fine white film may become visible on the leaf surface. This will disappear with the next rain.
What happens if I use too little GREENPOWER?
In principle, this has no negative impact on the system. The GREEN POWER effect is naturally lower than with the recommended dosage.
Does the presence of GRÜNKRAFT affect other crop protection products or fertilizers?
No! So far, all tests with commercially available fertilizers and pesticides have shown no negative effects on effectiveness.
What makes the GRÜNKRAFT product so special?
GRÜNKRAFT is a CO2 fertilizer. The optimal CO2 content should be between 0.1 and 1.0 vol .-% for high photosynthetic activity. Air only has 0.03 vol .-%, which is why plants cannot utilize their optimal growth potential.
GRÜNKRAFT naturally increases the CO2 content in the plant, thus helping the plant breathe.
Is GRÜNKRAFT expensive?
The use of GRÜNKRAFT leads to an increase in your profit margin, which, after deducting all costs, ranges between €50 and up to €500/ha, depending on the crop.
Can I use GRÜNKRAFT on small areas too?
Yes. There are no minimum size restrictions for the GRÜNKRAFT application.
Do the plants really grow faster?
Normally, plants do not grow faster. However, if plants are exposed to increased stress factors, differences in growth rate are possible.
Is the yield always higher?
If you adhere to the recommended dosage and application procedures, nothing stands in the way of increasing your yield.
Is it worthwhile to apply GRÜNKRAFT in wetlands (wet meadows)?
Since the plant's health is strengthened, using GRÜNKRAFT is definitely beneficial. GRÜNKRAFT helps with drought and moisture stress.
Where is the GRÜNKRAFT application most useful?
On poor-quality soils, due to water scarcity, in arid environments, in nitrogen-limited locations, in problem areas.
Why should the fruit be of better quality?
GRÜNKRAFT increases the dry matter content of the fruit, leading to less water storage and more flesh formation.
How much water do I save?
This depends on the respective crop and soil composition. University studies have shown that, for example, water savings of 19% were achieved for sunflowers, while biomass simultaneously increased by 13%. Other experiments even showed water savings of 33% in Colombia.
What are the advantages of GREEN POWER?
- Yield increase between 10 and more than 30%
- Increased stress resistance - both drought and wet stress
- Increased photosynthetic activity
- Stronger and branched root system
- Optimization of the plant's pH value and better nitrogen absorption
- Improved quality
- Improved shelf life
“The internal structure of a mineral is of utmost importance because the internal arrangement of atoms and molecules ultimately determines which external forms can develop.”
Willi Prechtl, expert on the living
Expert knowledge
Why do we recommend applying lime and zeolite together to the leaf? *****
"Lime is the nutrient for 90% of all bacteria, all microorganisms, and all vegetation in general. It's important to use tribomechanically micronized lime. The plant's receptors can simply absorb it better. Crushing the lime makes it the way the plant needs it, so it can absorb it.
Imagine it like this: You can eat a hamburger because your mouth and the hamburger's size roughly match. But if you had a hamburger the size of a football, it wouldn't be possible to eat it. And if it were 1 meter tall, it certainly wouldn't be possible. So: The lime that is sometimes traditionally spread on fields is present in the field, is chemically detectable, but is unavailable to the plants because it's too coarse.
The most important thing is that I reduce the particle size to a size that is accessible to the plant, meaning I need to get below 10 microns. The combination of lime AND zeolite provides optimal conditions for supporting the plant (both on the leaf and within the leaf). The lime can be absorbed through the stomata AND directly through the leaf surface cells.
Another effect: Calcite and zeolite on the leaf surface stimulate microorganisms. These can absorb ammonia from the atmosphere and make it available to the leaves. This is also the reason why the leaves take on a dark green color. They are supplied with nitrogen from natural nitrogen in the atmosphere.
Another effect is mechanical: The silicate particles look like small pieces of glass and do not change, remaining on the leaf surface. And they have a very nice side effect: All insects that have sensory organs in their legs find this unpleasant and will therefore stay away from the plant because it is unpleasant. We have a repellent here through a physical process. And the second effect of the silicate is that some of the particles are so fine that they disrupt and block the respiratory organs of unwanted insects, such as mites and aphids. These insects don't like the silicate because it attacks their gills. We have many insects that perceive foliar fertilizer as a repellent.
Zeolite and lime contain a high concentration of trace elements. It's always important to look for a zeolite quarry that already contains many trace elements. With this complete package, we stimulate the metabolism, activate the body's defenses, and thus boost the immune system, thus keeping diseases and insects at bay and increasing yields.
With calcium and zeolite as foliar fertilizers, the plant receives optimal support and nourishment. It should be noted that calcium and zeolite are electrostatically charged due to the tribomechanical milling process and have a grain size of less than 10 microns.
Dr. Peter Ost. Thank you very much for that.
Empirical Observations from Customers
Matthias W., organic farmer, Niederfladnitz"The most important thing is to get through the dry spells, and the foliar fertilizer was really helpful there. There was little rainfall this year, and yet I have very vital plant stands.
My oats were well-developed and stood as if nitrogen-fertilized.
I really like the fineness, and the foliar fertilizer was easy to apply.""I also foliar-fertilized the alfalfa, and it was dark green and lush.
I was able to sell my green manure well as fodder."
Farthofer Distillery, Öhling“This year, I used GRÜNKRAFT Foliar for my malting barley for the first time and I am very satisfied with the harvest results.
We applied GRÜNKRAFT at the 2-leaf and 4-leaf stages, and the success proves us right, as the difference to competitors' fields is clearly visible.
Thanks to this measure, we really obtained a large, strong grain
of good, dry quality. In 1 year, we will be able to put a superb raw product into the barrel, and in 4 to 10 years, we will enjoy it from the bottle and offer it to our customers.”
