What is Carbon Boost?
Carbon Boost is a soil additive that is effective, affordable and easy to use. It is a high-quality compost extract that has been designed to help your soil reach its full potential.
Carbon Boost energises soil microbes and stimulates root growth, creating the perfect conditions for plant production and complex carbon formation.
Carbon Boost comes in liquid form and can be easily applied using a regular boom spray.
What Carbon Boost can do for you
Raise feed quality
Carbon Boost builds dry matter, increasing feed quality. In some cases, a 30L application may be enough to increase brix by 7 - 15 units.
Sequester soil carbon
Carbon Boost encourages root growth and biological action which produces stable carbon. Following applications of Carbon Boost farmers have seen increases of 1% soil carbon in the topsoil in just 1 year.
Raise Soil pH
In some locations, Carbon Boost has been able to raise soil pH through soil biology and increased soil organic matter. Farmers have reported a 30 Litre/Ha application of Carbon Boost raising soil pH from 5.5 to 6.5 over 6 months with no lime or other inputs.
Improve your soil structure
Better root systems and increased soil biology fight back against soil compaction. Changes in soil structure may be observed in as little as 2 weeks.
Reduce water stress
Enriched soil improves water retention. By increasing the water holding capacity of your soil, you reduce the risk of potential yield lost during drought.
Increase topsoil depth
Improvements to soil biology can lead to an increase in topsoil depth. In some cases, we have seen increases from 4cm to 90cm over the course of 2 years. This is a 22.5 times increase in topsoil volume.

"How To" Carbon Boost
Find answers to frequently asked questions about essential information.
At $1.20 per Litre, Carbon Boost has been designed to be good for your soil and your wallet.
The Minimum order is 1000L. We can offer smaller orders if you are conducting a trial.
Carbon Boost can be applied using a boom spray, plane, drip irrigation, spray irrigation or direct injection. It is screened to 130 microns and has had zero blockages in all tested systems.
Carbon Boost can be applied at any time. We recommend applying the product when plants are growing, to capitlise on interactions between the plant and the microbes in the soil.
The first sign that Carbon Boost is working will be an increase in root hairs. You may notice more biological activity going on, or changes to the soil structure.
Carbon Boost is best used in conjunction with nitrogen and other products rather than as a replacement for them. Up to 80% of nitrogen from fertilisers can be lost, Carbon Boost can potentially reduce nitrogen loss by up to 50%.
3-5mm within 2 weeks of application will help wash the product into the soil, and reduce any degradation caused by sunlight.
