Paddy is grown under conditions almost no other crop experiences. Continuous flooding drives oxygen out of the soil and changes the chemistry of phosphorus, iron and several micronutrients along with it. Nutrient availability in a flooded field is genuinely different from the same soil drained.
Demand is also uneven across the season. Nitrogen matters most through tillering and again at panicle initiation; phosphorus drives early root establishment; potassium supports grain filling and helps the crop resist lodging late on.
Padi ditanam dalam keadaan yang tidak dialami tanaman lain. Takungan air berterusan mengubah kimia tanah dan ketersediaan fosforus serta mikronutrien.
Penanaman dua atau tiga kali setahun secara intensif menipiskan bahan organik. NEXGROW membantu membina semula asas ini sambil meningkatkan kecekapan baja kimia yang digunakan.
Double and triple cropping with heavy chemical inputs steadily strips organic matter from paddy soils, reducing buffering capacity and biological activity season after season.
In a flooded field, a large share of applied nutrient can move into the water column rather than the plant — efficiency, not quantity, is usually the real constraint.
Warm, waterlogged soil favours pathogens such as Rhizoctonia and Sclerotium, which attack at the base of the plant where conditions are wettest.
Built to work alongside your existing fertiliser programme, not replace it outright.
Over 50% organic matter plus humic and fulvic acids raise nutrient-holding capacity in a system that loses nutrients easily, while phosphate-solubilising bacteria free up phosphorus bound under low-oxygen conditions.
