ABOUT MICROTEK ORGANICS
Who we are
Microtek Organics is a family owned and operated business, committed to increasing the health and prosperity of Australian soils.
Based in the picturesque Barossa Valley, South Australia, we combine over 15 years of experience and knowledge in the viticulture, broad-acre, glasshouse and horticultural industries.
Through many years of research and development, we have perfected the feeding regime for our worms so that we are able to extract 100% organic and sustainable oils from the castings produced. This directly benefits your soil, ensuring the highest quality and quantity yield is achieved from the naturally enriched and regenerated soil.
We know that worms and microbes are essential for a healthy soil, so we treat all soils as a living, breathing organism and not just a growing medium. In this way, our products help your soils perform at their absolute best, all year round. Through applications including foliar spray, boom spray and dripper systems, our range of products can be used seamlessly for all broad-acre, horticultural, viticultural and glasshouse industries.
Our products are designed to be easily combined with most herbicides, pesticides, copper and sulfur to ensure optimal soil health.
MADE BY WORMS
Vermiculture
The oils collected from worm castings contain beneficial micro-organisms with populations many times higher than those found in most soils. The worms stimulate a range of healthy bacteria and fungi that work to greatly enhance soils by carrying a rich array of soluble plant nutrients and growth enhancing compounds.
When bacteria and fungi feed on organic matter, they release microscopic vitamins and enzymes into the soils in a readily available form. Microbe soil boosters work to release over 180kg of nitrogen per acre. In the process, aggregates are formed and they are the basis for good soil structure. Colonisation by microbial life is also beneficial to the plant by reducing the possible infection points and thus protecting the plant from disease.
When microbe soil boosters are applied through drip fertigation, they are delivered directly to the root system of the plant. This diverse and populous consortium of microbial life is not lost through irrigation or rain and plants can then store an ongoing and reliable source of food.
By using a microbe soil booster, the soil is re-established as a complete and natural web of life, working as a living organism and continuously providing nutrients to the plants. This approach provides enormous benefits and advantages to the grower, both in the short and long term.
