SOBAC - SOIL AMENDMENT

Suitable for every producer dairy, cattle, sheep, tillage and vegetables. SOBAC is a French company specialising in organic soil amendments for 33 years. 14 Years in Ireland. The two key products for farms are: Bacteriosol – a granulated soil amendment spread with a standard fertiliser spreader. Bacteriolit – a micro-organism blend added to slurry and bedding. They create humus in the soil and increase the biology • Stimulate soil micro-life and earthworms. • Transform organic matter into stable humus. • Deeper root systems • Humus increases the soil’s natural storage capacity for water and minerals. • Denser, more even grass covers that: • Recover faster after grazing or pouching • Cope better with drought and heavy rainfall. • More uniform grass. • Cows grazing tighter and cleaning out docks as the weeds weaken. • Cows more content and lying down earlier. • Improved silage quality (e.g. DMD rising from high-60s to high-70s on one Cork farm). • Chemical nitrogen (N) use can be cut by around 30%, while maintaining production. • Many farms eliminate chemical P and K fertiliser altogether while holding their soil indexes. Lower bagged fertiliser bills. Healthier, more resilient soils. Better forage and easier animal performance. More confidence facing droughts, heavy rainfall and tightening environmental rules. The approach is simple: Treat part of the farm. Compare treated vs. untreated fields for root depth, grass cover, soil structure and animal performance. Test silage and grass for dry matter and nutritional value – and listen to what the animals “say” in the paddock and in the parlour.
