Amino acids - water-soluble organic compounds that are the main building block for proteins. Plants and some microorganisms can synthesize amino acids from simple inorganic compounds, but animals and humans rely on adequate supplies in their diet.

Organic acids - Organic acids have carbon in their structure which are less reactive than inorganic acids. These acids are able to dissolve minerals in the mineral reserve in the soil.

N-P-K - This abbreviation stands for Nitrogen-Phosphorus and Potassium.

Humic substances - More or less biologically stable, dark amorphous material formed by the microbial decomposition of plant and animal residues.

Chelating - Process in which an inorganic element like iron binds to a larger organic molecule and thus becomes readily available to plants.

Phytohormones - Organic compounds that regulate certain aspects of plant growth development and flowering.

Root exudates - Each plant exudes, via its roots a plant specific mixture of sugars, amino acids and organic acids that invites soil microbial population to occupy the root zone.

Organic matter - OM is a mixture of partially or fully decomposed plant residues in the upper part of the soil.

Shearator - Patented mechanical device to agitate and aerate liquid/slurry material.
