ExSol P has been developed to solve one of the problems of the modern agriculture: “Leaching of phosphate to the (water) environment”. Phosphate is available in soils in very divers forms and shapes. E.g. Mineral bound, part of organic molecules, direct water soluble. If the phosphate is supplied in the easy soluble form a part of that phosphate will wash out of the soil and pollute water where excessive algae development will be triggered.

ExSol P (as the name is already expressing) is a product that takes the phosphate from the soil and makes it available for easy uptake by the plant. The bacteria responsible for this are two exclusive strains of Bacilli that ECOstyle has developed after selecting them from European soil. These bacteria excrete enzymes that are capable of freeing the phosphate, both from minerals as well as from organic molecules.

ExSol P significantly improves the crop yield when the phosphate fertilization is limited. (We also did measure extra crop yield in the majority of the cases with 100% P2O5 fertilization) In average with decrease of 25 – 50% of fertilization we measured no decline in crop at all, in fact the average yield was even higher than it would be with 100% fertilization.
