Healthy soil doesn’t just grow better crops.

Healthy soil captures and stores atmospheric carbon, improving soil structure, fertility, and water-holding capacity.

Restore biology to strengthen food security, think Rootella - Mycorrhizal fungi, a foundation species that developed alongside plants on earth.

Farewell Lisa: The Kākāpō Who Saved Her Species

In 2025, Aotearoa New Zealand said goodbye to a true conservation legend. Lisa the kākāpō, the matriarch of Rakiura/Stewart Island, has passed away — leaving behind a legacy that reshaped the future of her species.

Discovered in the early 1980s when kākāpō numbers were critically low, Lisa became a cornerstone of one of the world’s most remarkable wildlife recovery stories. Through decades of careful protection, monitoring, and breeding, she produced vital offspring and carried rare genetics that strengthened the survival of future generations.

Lisa lived through the most fragile years of the kākāpō’s existence, from near extinction to cautious hope. Today, hundreds of kākāpō now exist because birds like Lisa endured, adapted, and thrived against the odds.

She was more than a bird — she was proof that conservation works, patience matters, and hope can grow quietly in the forest. Her descendants will continue her story.

World Soil Day is a global platform to raise awareness of the critical role soils play in our everyday lives and livelihood.

Soil not only serves as the foundation of our food systems, but plays a larger role as a life support system – providing habitat for billions of organisms that recycle nutrients and produce antibiotics, storing carbon and greenhouse gases, filtering wastewater, providing a foundation for our cities and towns, and serving as the basis for food, fiber, and fuel production.

Biomin Calcium is one of our most popular products during the growing season, and for good reason!

It is bio-available and assimilated via the leaves within just a couple of hours of spraying, so no worries about a rain window!
Biomin Calcium' s formulation allows it to be phloem mobile as opposed to movement via the xylem, which can be problematic as fruit sizes and xylem bundle breakdown.

Calcium is a crucial mineral needed by plants to ensure optimum health and growth particularly immediately after flowering when the plant's demand for Calcium is at its peak . Phloem availability allows foliar calcium sprays to continue successfully through till harvest.

BIOMIN Calcium is applicable to all crops, benefiting your plants and produce by:

🍎 Preventing plant and fruit susceptibility to disease
🍎 Correcting Calcium deficiency promptly
🍎 Improving fruit skin quality and firmness
🍎 Reducing and preventing fruit and berry split and spoilage.
🍎 Reducing post harvest disorders whilst improving produce shelf life
🍎 Enhancing fruit colour and flavour
🍎 Increasing overall health and mineral balance of plants

🌱 Unlock your crops’ full potential and increase flavour with K-FORTE POWER 🌟

When your crops face stress, begin flowering, or enter peak growth, their need for Potassium and Phosphorus skyrockets. However, many crops experience deficiencies during these critical stages, even when soil levels are high. That’s why K-FORTE is a game-changer for growers everywhere!

✨What makes K-FORTE essential?
✔ Quickly combats deficiencies of Potassium & Phosphorus when your crops
need them the most.
✔ Boosts plant health and ensures optimal mineral balance for vigorous growth.
✔ Protects against disease and reduces fruit and flower loss, ensuring higher yields.
✔ Improves quality by enhancing fruit size, color, flavor, and sugar accumulation.

💡 With its Nitrogen-free formula, K-FORTE avoids the common issues of soft fruit and excessive vegetative growth late in the season. K-FORTE powder is perfect for soil or fertigation applications and works brilliantly for covered crops like vines or indoor plants, or use liquid K-Forte for foliar applications.

Whether you’re growing fruits, grains, or vegetables, K-FORTE is your go-to solution for healthier, more productive crops. 🌾🍇

🌱 Soil Organic Matter, Soil Organic Carbon, and Mycorrhizal fungi are all part of the same story beneath your feet.

Soil Organic Matter is the living and once-living or decaying material in your soil — roots, microbes, compost, humus.

Soil Organic Carbon is the carbon stored inside that organic matter, helping soil hold nutrients, structure, and water.

But here’s the missing link: mycorrhizal fungi are what help turn organic matter into stable, long-lasting carbon. Fungi have been sequestering carbon for over 400M years, fueling the carbon cycle on which all life depends.

These fungi attach to plant roots, syphon carbon sequestered from the atmosphere into their fine fungal threads and into the glomalin, soil glue only they secrete. This soil glue binds soil particles forming mineral associated organic carbon that is durable for centuries to millennia.

Additionally, Mycorrhizal fungi break down organic residues to feed plants, allow plants to optimise water, feed soil microbes, and stabilise soil.

The result?
🌿 Increased CEC for plant growth
💧 Improved water-holding capacity
⛰️ Enhanced soil structure
💪 Stronger, more resilient plants

Build the fungi → build the organic matter → build the carbon → build the soil.

This is not a painting. Nature spent centuries sculpting this giant — one branch, one ring, one season at a time. 🌳✨

Looking up from the base, this massive tree becomes a living cathedral, its canopy forming a perfect green dome against the sky.

Every twist of bark and branching limb tells a story of storms survived, summers stretched toward the sun, and decades layered into quiet strength.

A reminder that some of Earth’s greatest works take hundreds of years to create.

Keeping your plants healthy starts with the right nutrients—like Magnesium! 🌱💪

Did you know that Magnesium doesn’t just make leaves greener? Yes, Magnesium is the key component in chlorophyll, to make leaves greener, and it is utilised by plants in almost all metabolic reactions, which in turn helps plants stay strong, healthy and resist disease.

BIOMIN® Magnesium:

- Boost chlorophyll production for functioning, vibrant green leaves
- Crucial for photosynthesis to mitigate delays in ripening
- Ensures efficient nutrient transport and carbohydrate metabolism
- Overcomes Magnesium deficiency fast
- Support overall growth, health and stress resistance
