Soil is a finite resource insofar as it is formed at a very much slower rate than it is utilised. Its loss and degradation is not recoverable within a human lifespan. These therefore are important reasons for its care and management to be at the forefront of a farmer’s mind.

RLF Specialty Fertilisers and fertilising concepts support the health of the soil in many ways. Protect your most vital asset because only healthy soils can produce healthy crops and pastures. |
