Building soil organic matter is one of the most accessible routes for farmers to contribute to carbon sequestration.<\/p><p>SoilWorx fertilisers contain 60\u201375%+ organic matter. Every application adds organic carbon directly to the soil. Some is mineralised by soil microbes to release nutrients: that is part of the product&#8217;s value as a fertiliser. A proportion is stabilised into longer-term soil organic carbon fractions, contributing to a gradual increase in soil carbon stocks season on season.<\/p><p>Field research conducted with Rothamsted Research has shown that regular organic matter additions produce a measurable cumulative increase in soil carbon over 5\u201310 years.

The price volatility of 2021 and 2022 illustrated that dependency clearly.<\/p><p>SoilWorx organic fertiliser uses UK-sourced biological materials. Its production does not require gas-based nitrogen synthesis. Its slow-release nutrient delivery reduces nitrous oxide emissions and leaching losses compared with soluble synthetic fertilisers.
