What is GAFSA BioPHOS?

GAFSA BioPHOS brings together the world’s most reactive soft rock phosphate with humic and fulvic acids derived from high grade North Dakota Leonardite mineral deposits. It starts releasing plant-available phosphate straight after application, providing a sustained release of nutrients for 3-4 years.

Are there other nutrients in GAFSA BioPHOS ?

As well as phosphate, GAFSA BioPHOS contains calcium, sulphur and magnesium. It also contains naturally occurring essential micro-nutrients including boron, cobalt, copper, iodine, manganese, selenium, sodium and zinc.

Why use GAFSA BioPHOS ?

Highly reactive soft rock phosphate = ideally suited for direct application
Fine particle size = even distribution throughout the soil to overcome low mobility of phosphate
High grade humic and fulvic organic acids stimulate the release of plant-available phosphate
Supplies both immediately available and longer-lasting phosphate = sustain release with reduced risk of phosphate lock-up
Stimulates soil microbial activity for improved soil health
Humic and fulvic acids promote chelation = increased nutrient availability and uptake

Can GAFSA BioPHOS be used if I'm an organic farmer?

Yes. GAFSA BioPHOS 0-29.5-0 powered and GAFSA BioPHOS 0-27-0 are fully approved and unrestricted. GAFSA BioPHOS 0-18-17 and 0-13-26 are Soil Association approved but are restricted and therefore require derogation.

Need More Technical Information?

GAFSA BioPHOS brings rich source of secondary nutrients and trace elements. These improve soil fertility and enrich the nutritional value and palatability of grass and forages.

Calcium (Ca)	Sulphur (S)	Magnesium (Mg)
Buffers surface acidity and sweetens pastures	Increases N uptake and efficiency	Improves mineral balance within the sward
Improves soil structure and fertility	Optimises photosynthesis for maximum growth	Reduces risk of grass tetany (staggers)
Strengthens cell walls which increases resistance to stress and damage	Increases protein levels in grass and forage for higher feed value	Stimulates appetite leading to increased DM intake and utilisation
Essential for muscle, bone and teeth development	Increases DM production for better utilisation	Improves palatability and aids tighter grazing
GAFSA BioPHOS contains naturally occurring essential micro nutrients, including: Boron, Cobalt, Copper, Iodine, Manganese, Selenium, Sodium and Zinc
