Andermatt UK and Biota Nutri are excited to announce a collaboration for the UK market. This relationship will see Andermatt become the exclusive partner for Biota Nutri’s novel plant-derived liquid fertiliser range for both the horticultural and Home & Garden retail markets in the UK.
Nutrition management is one the most important factors in growing health plants and optimising yields. Fertilisers are however one of the biggest contributors to the carbon footprint of food production. Biota Nutri have developed a complete range of liquid fertilisers based on plant based raw materials and the recovery and separation of nutrients from plant waste streams. This allows specific nutrients to be extracted from plant waste material and then recombined in highly controllable and customisable ratios.
Some of the flagship products from this collaboration (Vertilizer® from the horticulture market, and GroPure® for the retail market) are already approved for use in organic production by Organic Growers (OF&G). The Biota Nutri fertilisers offer organic growers faster available nutrition rather than the high solid content products which have been relied upon until now such as seaweed or bone meal.
Use of these more sustainable liquid fertilisers should however not be viewed as limited to organic production. Being manufactured from a plant waste stream to create nutrition to grow future crops is a complete circular system. The NPK + micronutrient products which have been developed by Biota Nutri not only offer more sustainable fertilisers for organic growing, but are suitable for any growing system looking to reduce its environmental impact and carbon footprint.
Sustainability is a critical issue, and moving quickly is essential to supporting this drive within society. Biota Nutri and Andermatt therefore announce that the initial range of products will be available on the UK market with immediate effect. This includes a range of NPK liquid fertilisers:
- Vertilizer 6-2-3
- Vertilizer 5-2-5
- Vertilizer 3-2-6
- Vertilizer 8% Calcium
- Vertilizer 10% Nitrogen
In addition, GroPure, GroPure Fruit & Vegetable, GroPure Lawn Care and GroPure House Plant are available to the retail market. As well as these NPK fertilizers for the Home & Garden market, NitroBoost, a high solid content 10% pure Nitrogen is also available.
“We are excited to be partnering with Biota Nutri to develop their products in the UK market” said Dr Andrew Brown, Managing Director of Andermatt UK. “The Vertilizer range offers all farmers lower carbon footprint fertilisers to allow them to continue producing high quality produce, whilst supporting their sustainability targets. For the Home & Garden market GroPure offers gardeners an option for more sustainable organic liquid fertilizer with the speed and power of traditional chemical fertilisers.”
Peter Klein Biota Nutri’s CTO and founder said “We are delighted to partner with Andermatt UK, a company that shares our commitment to high-quality and sustainability. Our products offer an environmentally friendly alternative to traditional chemical fertilizers that will now be accessible to growers across the UK, enabling them to enhance crop quality while aligning with their sustainability goals.”
