Troforte MMM
(Biological recipe for Plant Success)

Triple M concept essentially underpins the importance of natural balance of Mineral, Microbes and Mulch (organic matter) in the soil and their role while working with minimum required chemical fertilsers in Slow/Controlled Release form

Langley's Troforte MMM is a relatively new approach to the cultivation of virtually all plants in that we emphasise on use of proven biological coating on specifically engineered mineral base containing 65 essential minerals, together with various forms of natural and chemical Slow/Controlled release fertilisers. These in turn maintain optimal nutrient availability to feed the crop as required and most efficent use of fertiliser

Biological coating on specifically designed and engineered mineral base contains combination of Australian cultured beneficial (probiotic) microorganisms that allow bacteria to interact synergistically, providing bio available mineral nutrients through microbial activities on the "natural" ores, removing growth inhibitory substances from soils, and stimulating biochemical activities that enhance overall plant physiology like nitrogen fixation and plant growth.

Well designed and engineered mineral support provides a more suitable microenviroment temporarily at the time of application to facilitate competitive enviroment to beneficial microbes for better adaptability to native flora and for their rapid growth. This is an utmost need, so that microbes can find a niche in the soil for survival except in sterilised soil, a condition which does not exist in heterogeneous and unpredictable enviroment.

Indiscriminate and intensive practices in the nurseries heavily cropped and fumigated fields, the golf courses, land reclaimation sites or the urban development rely on heavy applications of chemical fertiliser, fungicide, pesticide and water. The same growth principles apply for plants used for food, ornamental, forestry, and landscape or amenity sports turf.

High analysis of chemical fertiliser applied to soils leads to soft growth and fungal disease, fungicde is applied, and the natural beneficial microbes that recycle nutrients are destroyed so more fertiliser is used and the cycle repeats itself.

At Langley Fertilsers, our research and development programme in close cooperation with various institutions and through strategic alliances ensures that product range is ready for now and the future when profitable plant/crop production and landscaping will go hand in hand with enviromental responsibility. This essentially addresses major nutritional and enviromental issues sach as leaching of phosphorous and nitrates into our waterways, chemical contaminations, reduction in usage of pesticides and herbicides etc, as well as economic considerations, as our aim is to give innovative and cost effective products to growers at less enviromental cost

Why Troforte MMM approach?

The simple answer is that plants grown with the help of the soil microorganisms found in their natural growing enviorment are stronger, heathier, require less chemical maintenance and provide better flowers, fruit and crops.

Modern growing techniques including using sterile growing media, sterilised or overworked chemically depleted fields, landscaping on marginal soils or sandy golf greens, rely heavily on chemical fertiliser and fungicide use to get plants to grow.

Unlike with other "fertilisers", our Troforte MMM encompasses microbial-based biological approach, which is designed to enhance plant nutrition through beneficial soil biology. As this process increases, the beneficial microbes and mycorrhizal hyphae grow throughout the soil, mobilising and recovering minerals and nutrients, ultimately softening and aerating the soil. At the same time hydrophobic areas and compacted soils are penetrated. Earthworm populations begin returning and assist in aeration, which assists additional and deeper water penetration, and organic recycling.
Our biological approach also helps prevent fungal diseases using a specifically selected suite of beneficial soil microbes.

Various studies and field trails show that Troforte MMM range of products allow plants to flourish as nature intended, with less chemical input.

Target Mechanism and commercial benefits for Growers

The products in Troforte MMM range contains a scientifically balanced blend of 24 to 30 strains of beneficial well researched and trialed soil microbes which include bacteria, fungi and algae to carry out wide range of activity within the soil such as Nitrogen fixing, Nutrients building, producing growth hormones, decomposing organic matter to organic carbon, protecting beneficial bacteria by releasing antibiotics that can assist in inhibiting disease producing microbes like root rot, fungi and pythium as well as conditioning of soils by improving soil stucture. Some of strains included are Azobactor, Azosprillum, Bacilli, Cellulosic fungi, Myxobacteria, Phosphobacteria, Pseudomonas, Rhizobium, Streptmyces, Sacchromyces, Trichomderma, VAM and Yarrowia

Certain species of bacteria fix nitrogen in the root nodules of legumes while others can fix nitrogen independently of plant association. Some bacterial species break down soil minerials and release potassium, phosphorous, magnesium, calcium and iron to make them plant available and other species make and release natural plant growth hormones like auxins, gibberellins and cytokines.

For example, biological nitrogen fixation through Azosopirillum is the enzymatic conversion of atmospheric nitrogen gas to ammonia which plants can use for growth. Plants need large a large amount of nitrogen for growth and atmosphere comprises of 70 to 80% of nitrogen. However plants are unable to reduce nitrogen gas from atmosphere to ammonia themselves. That is why Troforte MMM range of products are low analysis NPK fertilisers but more efficient, enviromentally friendly and economical than high analysis chemical fertilisers. Some of their commercial benefits include:
  • Cost Effective
  • Increased productivity and yield
  • Increased crop uniformity
  • Increased shelf life of crops
  • Reduced time to market
  • Reduced transplant losses
  • Reduced fertiliser and fungicide applications
  • Increased disease resistance and drought tolerance
  • Improved crop marketability
  • Accelerated growth rates
  • Accelerated budding and flowering
  • Gradual improvement of soil health
