• Highly assimilable by the plant and nutritious.
• Free of pathogens
• Microorganisms that aid plant growth
• Organic

The organic fertilizer we use at SEDEMA is a fertilizer that improves the soil and preserves the environment. This compost comes from industrial waste processed in an organic way.
Properties

• Source of macro and micronutrients (Nitrogen 1%, potassium 1.4% and phosphorus 2.24%).
• High moisture retention

Use in seedbombs
The organic fertilizer is used as a base in seedbombs, it provides macro and micronutrients and acts together with effective microorganisms to provide better nutrition to the plant during the growing period.

The charcoal we use for the seedbombs is recycled charcoal from organic matter. At SEDEMA we collect charcoal waste to reduce the environmental impact.
Properties

• It works like a sponge, maintaining high levels of humidity and retaining nutrients.
• Used in conjunction with plants, it allows a better assimilation of nutrients.
• Regulates temperature, avoiding problems in plants due to sudden changes in temperature
• Provides micronutrients during its decomposition.

Use in seedbombs
Charcoal is used in seedbombs mainly for its property of retaining moisture and nutrients. By absorbing moisture, the germination stage begins. As it begins to germinate, the charcoal contains assimilable nutrients to accelerate and ensure efficient growth. As time passes, it breaks down and transforms into micronutrients that can be assimilated by the plant. Plants absorb nutrients within a temperature range, and to stay within these parameters, charcoal is used as a thermoregulator.

Properties

• Maintains its shape and acts as a binding agent.
• Contains micronutrients that can be assimilated by plants
• Retains high levels of moisture

Use in seedbombs
We use clay for its action as a binding agent. It gives structure to the seedbomb and allows the seedbomb to be manipulated without compromising the shape. When the seedbomb comes in contact with water, the clay increases water retention, facilitating the germination process.

Effective microorganisms significantly increase nutrient assimilation by plants. They attach to the root system and proliferate synergistically, decomposing organic matter and providing assimilable nutrients. The EM we use at SEDEMA are composed of 3 types of microorganisms, these being yeasts, lactic acid bacteria and phototrophic bacteria.

Properties

• They decompose organic matter
• Synthesize antimicrobial substances.
• Produce hormones and enzymes that promote active cell and radical division.
• Reduces nematode populations
• Reduce pathogens
• Synthesize useful substances from root secretions (amino acids, sugars, nucleic acids and bioactive substances).

Use in seedbombs
In seedbombs we use EM to increase nutrient assimilation by the plant. Used in combination with the other ingredients, we can increase the plant’s chances of survival and efficient growth.
