- Castor Cake is a natural Nitrogen fertilizer.
- It is completely bio-degradable and non-harmful to beneficial soil organisms (earthworms)
- It improves soil texture, soil aeration and water holding capacity.
Nutrient Rich – Contains significant amount of Nitrogen, Phosphorous and Potassium which are essential elements for plant growth.
Organic – Obtained from natural sources, making it environmentally friendly and safe for plants, soil, and ecosystems.
Slow Release – Provides a gradual and sustained release of nutrients ensuring continuous nourishment for plants over an extended period of time.
Soil Enrichment – Enhances soil fertility and structure, improving water retention, aeration, and nutrient availability for plants.
Promotes Healthy Growth – Stimulates vigorous growth, encouraging strong root development, lush foliage and abundant flowering and fruiting.
Enhances Soil Health – Enriches the soil with organic matter and beneficial organisms, fostering a thriving soil ecosystem.
