DETONATION – An Aid to Plant Health

The Sanctuary works with Probiotics to deliver a wide range of soil health benefits. The Sanctuary products contain a variety of natural protein and carbohydrate ingredients. These ingredients are rich in nutritional energy to feed and stimulate the native soil microbial system. These nutritional energy sources mimic the root exudates and metabolites found in the soil. Therefore, the Sanctuary products help to build back this natural microbial food source. By adding these food sources to the soil, this enhances soil and plant health.

The Sanctuary adds “Probiotics” to some of the Sanctuary fertilizer products. These probiotics deliver the next dimension to soil and plant health. The Sanctuary uses a select group of “Plant Friendly Probiotics” to reduce some of the common repetitive nutrient deficiencies and common agronomic issues. The Sanctuary has selected probiotic packages that help with water and nutrient conservation plus a wide range of other soil health benefits. Listed is an overview of the various probiotic products that we add to our fertilizers. These probiotics deliver more than a natural fertilizer component to the soil. Simply, the Sanctuary continues to provide our customers with new natural solutions to common agronomic problems.

 

Detonation Fertilizer Bio Catalyst: A New Fertilizer Microbial Inoculants

Detonation Descriptive Overview

Detonation is a family of pharmaceutical grade probiotics that is a “Nutrient Delivery System.” Using only pharmaceutical cultured microbes, this guarantees batch consistency year after year. The key to this product is the multiple microbial strains and their interaction in delivering nutrients. Detonation will mineralize nutrients locked in the soil plus build soil microbial health.

Detonation microbes are cultured together, and these microbes are harvested along with the fermentation medium. This solution contains the natural secondary metabolites (enzymes, proteins, carbohydrates and organic acid) found in Detonation. It’s this combination of probiotics diversity and metabolites that deliver the Detonation Difference.

How does the product work? Detonation microbes produce a broad range of soil enzymes & metabolites. These nutritional materials help with soil microbial colonization. It’s this “Bio Catalyst” approach that helps to mineralize these stored nutrients locked in the soil. Detonation helps with nutrient availability to the plant. Simply, microbial counts are important but microbial interaction is the key.

Detonation Family Selection: A New Category of Microbial Inoculants

With Detonation, our emphasis is placed on the diversity of metabolic capabilities of the microbe strains found in the Detonation mix, rather than on microbial counts. Our focus is on the interaction benefits of this wider range of probiotic stains. In addition, Detonation uses only pharmaceutical cultured microbes that guarantee batch consistency. What you add is more important than how much you add.

Microbes with a broad metabolic profile are selected for inclusion into the Detonation product line. Having a broad metabolic capability allows the microbes to metabolize a wider range of food sources. This design approach promotes soil colonization. This unique design enhances nutrient mineralization and phosphorus solubilization increasing nutrient availability to the plant.

Detonation microbes are cultured together, and these microbes are harvested along with the fermentation medium. This solution contains the natural exuded secondary metabolites (enzymes, proteins, carbohydrates and organic acid). It’s these metabolites with all the nutritional sources found in the Detonation family of products.

It’s Probiotic Diversity that is the key Detonation Difference!!!

STORAGE & HANDLING

* Product should be stored in a cool, well ventilated area out of direct sunlight.

* Store between 40O F – 90O F to optimize shelf life. Do not allow product to freeze

* Keep container tightly sealed. When stored properly product has 2 year shelf life* Refer to SDS for Details

MIXING & PACKAGING DETONATION CONCENTRATE

It is important to maintain good hygiene with the handling, mixing and storage of Detonation to avoid cross-contamination of the product. Listed are common sense recommendations to use to avoid problems.

  • To avoid any product contamination, put on a clean pair of latex gloves before handling the drum or tote. This will avoid the transfer of any dirt or native bacteria into mixer or blender. Make sure the blender is clean of dirt and any dust.
  • To remove any dust from the concentrate container, wipe down the container with a clean rag and wash with hot water around the drum lid or tote drain.
  • Open product container and insert sterilized transfer pump. Once transference is complete, immediately replace cap and secure tightly. Make sure the cap is clean prior to replacement. Run under hot water is suggested prior to replacement.
  • After use, tightly secure the container lid. This will minimize the free movement of air into container that could activate the remaining Detonation concentrate. A tight lid is critical as the Detonation level decreases in the container.
  • Once lid is secured, thoroughly wipe down the drum lid with a 2% solution of bleach and water. Do not get this cleaning solution into the container. It may compromise the product. Allow solution to air dry completely before opening.
  • Make sure the pump used to transfer Detonation into blender is cleaned with a 2% solution of water and bleach. After the use of the bleach solution rinse with clean hot water. Let dry.
  • Wash with hot water all the parts of the pump to remove any remaining product from pump. Once pump is rinsed thoroughly, store the pump in a clean, dry place. It is recommended to rinse the pump prior to the next use.
