Activ8mate is a combined nutrient input and biological soil amendment designed to improve nutrient use efficiency (NUE), soil structure, and rhizosphere activity. It stimulates microbial processes responsible for nutrient cycling and mineralisation, enhancing root–microbe interactions within the rhizosphere. This results in improved nutrient availability through microbial conversion and chelation, while also supporting nutrient retention via better soil structure and cation exchange interactions.
In addition, Activ8mate contributes to improved soil aggregation, aeration, and water-holding capacity, while assisting in buffering salts and maintaining balanced root zone conditions. The overall effect is stronger root development, more consistent plant growth, and improved resilience to environmental stresses. Suitable for use in fertigation, foliar, and soil-based programs, Activ8mate integrates well with conventional fertiliser inputs, with performance influenced by soil type and growing conditions.

| Hortex/Pressure/Knapsack Sprayer: | You need about 10 litres of water to be applied per 100sqm, so take that into consideration when applying. If you have a smaller sprayer, either do several smaller applications (i.e., covering 50sqm using 50ml of product at a time and repeat until the entire area is covered). If using a Hortex sprayer on setting 2 without the restrictor, you shouldn’t need to add water, but if you do, just add as little amount to cover the required area. |

First time owning lawn. Gave the team at plant doctor a ring and they supplied me with a wealth of information. Products turned up quickly.
Will definitely be getting more 8 weeks difference been using stimulizer, activ8mate, soil wetter, seaweed secrets and champion fertiliser. Was super fast delivery.
Only have great things to say about Plant Doctor. Organic products and a competitive price, fast shipping and easy to contact with questions. Have had great results with the special mix for lawns, and my plants (indoor and outdoor) love the seaweed secrets. I am excited to test out some of the animal products soon!
