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.
| Type | Application Rate | |
|---|---|---|
| Minimum dilution rate: | 1:100 | Apply fortnightly or when feeding is required
|
| General application: |
1ml per 1 sqm 100ml/100m2 10L/ha |

100ml/100m2 10L/ha *Can be increased to 120ml/100sqm for boosted feeds. |
|
| Watering Can: |
10-30ml/9L *Apply to natives, orchids, African violets, and ferns at half-rate. |
|
| Hose‐on Bottle or sprayer: |
Mix the minimum amount of water with the product/s to allow you to cover the required area/s. *For example, on 10x10m space, add 100ml of each Seaweed Secrets, Activ8mate, and Nature's Soil Wetter, then top up with enough water to allow you to evenly cover it using the hose‐on bottle , then evenly hose‐on. |
|
| 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. |
