Nutrients are essential for plant growth, but the overabundance of nutrients in water can have many harmful health and environmental effects. An overabundance of nutrients—primarily nitrogen and phosphorus—in water starts a process called eutrophication.
Algae feed on the nutrients, growing, spreading, and turning the water green. Algae blooms can produce offensive odours, block sunlight, and even release toxins in some cases.
Plants known as aquatic macrophytes can thrive under these conditions. Plants such as the Common Reed and Cumbungi dominate waterways affected by eutrophication. These plants restrict waterflow and grow rapidly, growing 3-5 metres during a season, and may spread up to 5 metres laterally through underground roots.
These plants are very efficient at using excess nutrients found in waterways, releasing allelopathic chemicals to suppress other vegetation. These dense monoculture stands reduce biodiversity and habitat for some birdlife.
Lake Wyangan area in Griffith NSW, circa 1950 and 2023.
Through theoretical and applied research, our company developed a microbial process to produce two beneficial products from waste – a liquid biostimulant and high carbon biopellets.
We named this PhragMighty™, from the botanical term for the common reed – Phragmites australis.
It is mighty green, and it is mighty good.
Aquatic vegetation is routinely cleared from Australian waterways – but the waste is dumped or sent to landfill.
Diverting this waste from landfill reduces methane emissions and produces a product that benefits you – the grower.
PhragMighty™ contains trace elements and beneficial microbes, has been observed to increase drought and disease resistance, and improve root and shoot growth.
Contribute to our waterway health, and the health of your garden.
PhragMighty™.
Mighty green. Mighty good.
PhragMighty™ will be available as a liquid biostimulant, containing trace elements, beneficial microbes, and carbon.
The biostimulant has been independently laboratory tested for both nutrient and contaminant levels and has been plant tested on tomatoes, citrus, ornamentals and turf grasses.
Plants treated with PhragMighty™ were found to be more drought-resistant, disease resistant and show increased root and shoot mass compared to controls.
PhragMighty™ is now available as a high carbon biopellet, benefiting soil microbiology, improving soil structure, and aiding in nutrient and water buffering.
The benefits of adding PhragMighty™ biopellets to soil include; a reduction in soil surface temperature, a habitat for beneficial microbes, increased nutrient buffering, improved drainage and the addition of complex carbons to the soil.
This beast was grown in our founder Jock’s home veggie garden, fuelled by early trials of PhragMighty™ Liquid Biostimulant.
PhragMighty™ is a liquid biostimulant that is made from aquatic green waste.
Now also available as a high carbon organic pellet.
1. Wear gloves and a mask when applying fertilizer pellets.
2. Carefully cut open bag with a sharp blade.
3. Pellets can be top dressed onto exisiting gardens or worked into the soil when preparing new garden beds.
4. Water in well, keeping moist for 2-3 days after application.
5. Wash hands after use.
6. Apply twice yearly or whenever soil is lacking organic matter.
